Ryan Fournier, 30 yr old co-founder of ‘Students for Trump’ was arrested for domestic violence. After being drunk & passed out, he punched his girlfriend 2-3 times with a closed fist when awakened and made threats including “I will kill everyone here.” https://t.co/eBUH1dRSn3
The first reporter who fires back at Trump’s “You’re a terrible reporter” with “You’re a terrible president” deserves a Pulitzer on the spot.

Pope Leo XIV has sparked global debate after releasing a manifesto warning that unchecked AI could deepen inequality, centralize power, spread misinformation, and create new forms of “digital slavery.”

(Pope Leo XIV, Al Debate, Tweet)
Pope Leo XIV: 135 years ago, my venerable predecessor Leo XIII observed the situation of factory workers and poverty generated by rapid industrial transformation. He understood that the church could not remain distant. AI already touches our lives and affects decisions that shape human coexistence. I feel entrusted to look upon another huge transformation with eyes of faith, with lucidity of reason, with openness to mystery, and with cries of the poor and the earth resounding in my heart.
Pope Leo XIV: "No computational system, however sophisticated, can create a heart that gives itself, or a conscience that discerns good from evil. Even when machines excel in efficiency, a human face that asks to be gazed upon remains the center of our history. This human face is the fullness toward which history is moving."
-Magnifica Humanitas, 233
In his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV turned directly to parents, and what he said is something every family needs to hear.
1) Don't Give Your Child a Phone Too Early
“Having a personal mobile device at too early an age and using it without adult supervision can exacerbate young people's vulnerabilities, foster addiction and expose them to isolation, bullying and cyberbullying, as well as to pressures to share intimate images or sensitive information.” (Magnifica Humanitas, 141)
The Pope goes further — naming pornographic content, AI‑manipulated images, fake profiles, and pressure to share intimate images as specific dangers that early, unsupervised device access makes worse.
2) Supervise Actively — and Know You Can't Do It Alone
“It is difficult for parents by themselves to resist the influence of business models that monetize attention and time.” (Magnifica Humanitas, 142)
He is not saying parents are failing. He says they are outgunned — up against engineers, behavioral psychologists, and billions of dollars of addictive design. The encyclical still calls parents to active supervision, not passive permission.
3) Teach Children to Recognize Manipulation — By Name
“It is also necessary to teach children, adolescents and young people how to recognize manipulation, defend their dignity and respect that of others in digital environments.” (Magnifica Humanitas, 142)
A child who understands what an algorithm does, why their feed shows what it shows, and why an AI chatbot's warmth is simulated rather than real is harder to exploit. Naming the mechanism is itself a form of protection.
Pope Leo adds:
“...thus can children and adolescents, who are entrusted to our care, be genuinely protected as a precious treasure.” (Magnifica Humanitas, 142)
In a world where every platform competes for your child's attention, the Pope offers a counter‑vision: your child is not a user. Your child is a treasure.

In a moment steeped in history and heavy with moral reckoning, Pope Leo XIV delivered one of the Vatican’s most sweeping apologies for the Catholic Church’s role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
"The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good."
—Pope Leo XIV
Today, among the goods that are universally intended for everyone, we must also include new forms of property, such as patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infrastructure and data. In a context where the wealth of nations depends increasingly on knowledge and technology, when these goods remain concentrated in the hands of a few, without adequate forms of sharing and access, a new imbalance is created that contradicts the universal destination of goods. In turn, it widens the gap between the included and the excluded, between those who can participate in the digital revolution and those who remain on the margins. #MagnificaHumanitas
Pope Leo XIV: I hear very troubling accounts of algorithms that can block access to healthcare, employment, and security on the basis of data tainted by prejudice. I've heard the silence of those who have no voice when decisions likely to generate new forms of suffering are made. Nuclear disarmament remains a service to peace. In a similar sense, AI now demands to be disarmed, freed from logics that turned it into an instrument of domination, exclusion, and death.
