Pope Francis: โ€œI would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

Pope Francis: โ€œI would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

In Pope Francisโ€™s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: โ€œI would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.โ€ May we heed his wish.

So if he disagrees with Court decisions, he will do whatever he wants. Unhinged. Dangerous.

At some point they should be forced to watch video of these people and see the horror they are perpetrating on humanity.

I don't know if anyone caught it during the Treasury rally today, but. Rep. McIver straight-up said that her Republican colleagues are leaving their phones off the hook because they don't want to hear from their constituents. THAT is what Dems should be preaching from every corner, every day.

Read some very interesting suggestions: freeze your credit and print your SSA statement, bank and other investment statements on a regular basis. Also file your 2024 tax returns ASAP especially if you expect a refund.
Any other suggestions, please tag onto this post.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

I just heard that according to the Chinese zodiac, January 29 will begin The Year of the Snake. I think theyโ€™re off by 9 days, and it should repeat annually for the next 4 years.

Anyone else realizing the irony that TikTok is a national security risk - not because of the Chinese, but because it will now be wielded as a propaganda machine by right-wing US conservatives?

With apologies to George Orwell for the slight change in verbiage from his book 1984, this sums up todayโ€™s Inauguration: โ€œIt was a bright cold day in January, and the clocks were striking thirteenโ€.
Good luck, America. Youโ€™re going to need it.
