Itโs easy to dismiss Trumpโs latest speech as just more of the same rehashed lies.
But buried within it was the "first salvo in this fight to remove people from the voter rolls," @marceelias says.
"Those of us in the pro-democracy movement, we need to recognize what we are up against."

SHOCKING CLASH: Donald Trump CALLS POPE LEO XIV โAN INSULT TO JESUSโ โ THE POPEโS RESPONSE STUNS THE WORLD
Donald Trump believed he could score easy political points by calling Pope Leo XIV โan insult to Jesus,โ after the spiritual leader once again spoke out in defense of peace, compassion, and human dignity. However, he was challenging a voice rooted not in politics, but in moral authority.
Standing before a solemn gathering at the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV did not respond with anger. Instead, he delivered a powerful and deeply moving message grounded in faith, responsibility, and truth.
โThe President of the United States has said that I insult Jesus,โ Pope Leo XIV began, his voice calm yet firm. โBut let us reflect honestly โ what truly insults the teachings of Christ?โ
Then, with quiet intensity, he answered:
โYou want to know what truly insults Jesus? It is when we turn away from those who suffer, when we close our hearts to the poor, and when we choose power over compassion while others cry out for mercy.โ
He continued:
โYou know what insults Jesus? It is forgetting the dignity of every human being, ignoring the pain of families in crisis, and refusing to hear the voices of the most vulnerable among us.โ
His message then deepened, becoming not just a response, but a moral call that reached far beyond the moment:
โYou know what insults Jesus? It is creating division where there should be unity, spreading fear where there should be hope, and turning away from justice when we have the responsibility to uphold it.โ
This was not merely a political rebuttal โ it was something far more profound. Pope Leo XIV, known for his humility and steadfast commitment to peace, transformed the confrontation into a reflection on conscience rather than conflict. Instead of escalating tensions, he elevated the conversation to a universal moral level.
โI do not claim to be perfect,โ he admitted. โBut I strive each day to walk the path of compassion โ to serve, to listen, and to love as we are all called to do.โ
Then came the line that resonated far beyond the walls of the Vatican:
โIf we truly believe in a world shaped by peace and mercyโฆ then why do we not work harder to bring that reality into our lives โ here and now, for one another?โ
That was his response. Not with anger. Not with division. But with conviction โ and grace.
Trump sought to challenge him. Instead, Pope Leo XIV delivered a message now echoing across millions, reminding the world that true strength is found not in power alone, but in conscience, humility, and love.
Pope Leo: "The message of the church, my message, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political or a politician. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think that the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing, and I will continue to speak out loudly against war."
BREAKING: A Catholic priest unleashes a viral takedown of Donald Trump after he attacked Pope Leo and posted an image of himself as Jesus Christ healing a sick man.
This is an absolute must-read for every American...
"You are only a man @realDonaldTrump, and someday you will stand before our Lord Jesus Christ. You claim our Holy Father @Pontifex is weak, but it takes more strength to do what one should rather than simply what one wants," Father Joseph DeMarzo of the Diocese of Paterson, New Jersey wrote on X.
"You intervened in Venezuela under the pretext of stopping drugs and criminals from entering our country, and under Nicolรกs Maduro you described the regime in terms of narco-terrorism," he continued. "My qualm is the name games you play. Do you think you can simply legitimize actions by denoting terminology to suit your interest? This you did."
"In the same way, you and Benjamin Netanyahu undermine the true meaning of justice through continued acts of unconscionable war crimes, all in the name of 'self-defense,'" Father DeMarzo continued. "But with the Lord, there will be no altering of words and their meaning; all that will be left is the truth of what really happened."
"You call the Holy Father weak because he calls for peace? What is weak is bombing children in Gaza in the name of national interest," he wrote "What is weak is saying this is Godโs country, yet by your actions you act as an enemy of the cross."
Father DeMarzo went on to question Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly Operation Warp Speed and the vaccines. He said that "questions and debates" remain about the vaccines and while we don't agree with that assessment, it was Trump who brought up COVID protocols during his attack on Leo. And, as DeMarzo pointed out, Trump was president when COVID hit.
"Inspired by Christian charity, I implore you, repent," the priest wrote. "We are Christ first, not MAGA first. Our first allegiance is to God and His Kingdom. Are you God first or MAGA first? If God first, why do some of your actions betray that truth? If you come after the Church and the Holy Father @Pontifex_de, donโt think Iโll be silent. I only fear God."

BREAKING: Pope Leo brings the HAMMER down on Pete Hegseth and Trump by declaring that "God does not bless any conflict" and condemning the "blasphemy of war" in his harshest remarks yet.
This has MAGA world howling with rage...
"Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for peopleโs lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest," Leo wrote on X. "But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood."
While there is a tenuous ceasefire in place for the Iran War (the terms of which seem to be constantly shifting) there are still bombs, drones, and missiles exploding in the Middle East thanks to Trump's decision to kick off this conflict. Israel is currently engaged in a brutal, mass-murdering war of expansion in Lebanon. And there is a distinct possibility that Trump is simply using this ceasefire to rearm and maneuver military assets before resuming hostilities.
The pope plans to hold a vigil for peace tomorrow, calling on Catholics around the world to come together to pray for an end to the violence. Meanwhile, Republicans on social media are smearing him as a demonic communist for daring to challenge their cult leader's bloodthirsty instincts.
"God does not bless any conflict," Leo wrote on X. "Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples."
The post was a clear and direct refutation of Hegseth's repeated attempts to characterize this illegal child-murdering war as sanctioned by Jesus Christ. He has called for giving "no quarter" to the "barbaric savages" of Iran and demanded that the American people pray for victory "in the name of Jesus Christ."
As anyone who has taken even a cursory glance at a bible knows, Jesus blessed the peacemakers and never endorsed war. Hegseth's brand of "Christianity" is a perversion of the teachings of Christ that's being used to justify the darkest, most evil acts imaginable.
Pope Leo is firmly on the right side of history.
Please โค๏ธ and share if you stand with Pope Leo!
Again, they are making a declaration, from the highest levels, that resisting MAGA means that you can be killed by an agent of the state. Thatโs what the Vice President of the United States has just made clear.
