BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV published his landmark encyclical on artificial intelligence "Magnifica Humanitas,” comparing the attempt to build an AI future that excludes God to the "Tower of Babel" and underlining the need to safeguard human dignity as it is "threatened by new forms of dehumanization."

"The risk of dehumanization -- of building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means -- is an ancient and ever-new temptation that today takes on a technical guise," Pope Leo said.

"In the era of artificial intelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace.”

[Mary DeTurris Poust @MaryDTP]

“To think that something as banal and ugly as a data center could be constructed on a once-holy site … well, it’s hard to think of a better representation of societal decline. If artificial intelligence is to be our new god, God help us.”

This is brilliant! This is pure human ministry. This is accompaniment. It's not a "big grand thing" and yet it thoroughly is. A little way of a big, grand, life-affirming thing. God bless Jon Escueta. This is how you do something great in the world. A small, grand thing.

The goal is to undo the damage we did

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

INCREDIBLE!

Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.

Congrats!!

We should all be afraid. As if we don’t have enough reasons already.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

🔥 @SenBlumenthal to Trump’s federal judge picks: “You’re unwilling to say Biden won the election. Clearly you’ve been rehearsed... you’re afraid. Of what? Trump?… we need jurists who are fearless and strong, not weak and pathetic.”

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@JamesTalarico: We are living in an era of corruption. I don’t just mean illegal activity. I mean corruption in the deeper sense — the rotting of something from the inside. Politicians serving billionaire megadonors instead of their constituents. The top 1% owning more wealth than the entire middle class. For-profit social media algorithms sowing division and turning neighbor against neighbor.

Our systems are rotting from the inside out. The most powerful people in this country are profiting off our pain, our division, and our disconnection from one another.

This is, at its root, a spiritual crisis. And it will require a spiritual solution.

“Calling Trump a fascist incites political violence”

Here’s a compilation of Trump calling his opponents fascists

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Ana Navarro on the WHCD: “It’s crazy to me that one of the first things Trump did after this was go push for a ballroom and use this instead of calling for unity. School children have as much a right to have safe schools as politicians do to have a secure ballroom”

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Here is a long montage of Trump calling Americans who don’t support him “the enemy from within,” “vermin,” calling to “shoot through the fake news,” and other violent rhetoric

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Automobile kill-switches are coming soon to car dealerships near you.

I teamed up w/ Scott Perry & Chip Roy to defund this Orwellian mandate, but too many colleagues (Republican & Democrat) voted against us, so the federal mandate for every new car after 2026 is still in place.

[Mary DeTurris Poust @MaryDTP]

Because we could all use a laugh.

[Jen @SweetTexanRose]

I can’t stop laughing! 😂 This guy goes into fast food joints and yells their company slogans after buying their food. 😂 The reactions he gets are hilarious! 🤣

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

She's always been this lady, folks.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

He was not exonerated.

Trump was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll by a jury of his peers.

He was ordered to pay her over $80 million.

I carry in my pocket the image of a Muslim child killed in Lebanon… I cannot be in favor of war.
