Any pundit or reporter who is attempting to frame this anger at Sen. Schumer as a generational thing is completely missing the point. Democratic voters, regardless of age, are united in our anger at the lack of common sense leadership. This isn't about age. We all want our leaders to fight back.

Centring the voiceless: Pope Francis’s enduring global impact Pontiff’s message of peace and fraternity has challenged the rising tide of nativism, violence and global inequality.

"In a world where too many lives, including those in Gaza, have been deemed β€œungrievable” by so many in our societies, Francis is a beacon of light reminding us of our common humanity and shared destiny."

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaidβ€˜s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situationβ€”whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint.

In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry.

Make sure everyone knows it.

The Global Outrage Machine Skips the Uyghurs China grandstands about Gaza while repressing a Muslim community within its own borders. Hardly anyone seems to notice.

China poses as a champion of the oppressed in Gaza but abuses the rights of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, @michaelschuman.bsky.social writes. Global indifference exposes double standards, "and it flags the danger that China presents to the very principle of universal values":
