“Todos en la vida nos hemos sentido solos alguna vez. Y en los momentos de soledad vienen las propuestas mas descabelladas para salir de ahí, pero la soledad es como un invierno, un tiempo nublado que pasa. Nunca hay que cambiar de rumbo por eso, solo hay que transitarla. Para eso sirve mucho el diálogo y nuestros amigos o familiares. Pero de los momentos feos siempre se saca algo bueno. Las tormentas al final se terminan”.
El Papa Francisco en una de las mejores explicaciones sobre la soledad. Cuanta falta le hace su voz hoy al mundo.
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
During the Rosary for peace in the Vatican Gardens, Pope Leo XIV reminded everyone present and praying around the world that all people must do their part to achieve peace. It must start with “small but important things, abstaining from every form of verbal or physical violence in daily life and also on social media.”
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
Megyn Kelly, who endorsed and campaigned for Trump in the 2024 election:
“I didn’t expect the corruption to be quite as widespread as it has been. The self-dealing, the lining of his and his family’s pockets. It’s shocking… You look across the board at the Trump family, I’ve never seen a family get so rich off the presidency.”
Without the fire of the Spirit, the Church remains a prisoner of fear, timid in the face of the world’s challenges, closed in on itself, and thus also incapable of entering into dialogue with changing times. #Pentecost
There is no way the republicans would be anything less that outraged if Obama had taken almost $2 billion of taxpayer dollars and given it to people he pardoned for trying to steal an election. Every republican in congress who doesn’t speak up and prevent this is complicit
“The greatest heist in 🇺🇸 history… a direct transfer of billions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank account of Trump, dressed up as a ‘settlement’ of a lawsuit in which he is the plaintiff and also the defendant… could nearly triple his net worth…”
Narcissists—especially those on the more extreme end of the spectrum, such as malignant narcissists or sociopathic narcissists—are deeply driven by an “us versus them” mentality. For narcissists, the “us versus them” mindset stems from their need to establish dominance, superiority, and control. They divide the world into allies (those who validate their ego) and enemies (those who challenge or threaten them). This black-and-white thinking is particularly extreme in malignant and sociopathic narcissists because they not only crave power but also derive pleasure from deception, manipulation, and inflicting harm. They thrive on conflict because it keeps them at the center of attention and allows them to consolidate control over their followers or victims.
In fact, it becomes imperative that the true motives behind their attacks against the genuine person not be revealed.
Because if the real motives behind their attacks were exposed, their entire narcissistic survival system would be at risk of collapse.
For a narcissist, everything hinges on maintaining the façade — both in their own mind and in the eyes of others. The false self they’ve built is like a fortress protecting that buried shame. If people understood that their attacks on the genuine person stem from envy, shame, and fear of exposure, it would shatter the illusion that they’re superior, righteous, or justified.

@MattForVA Notice how he said he was raised Catholic (past tense). He says NOTHING about being an active Catholic (present tense). And then claims he is no longer Catholic 🙄 due to Politics (uses religion with politics)
Let us reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice—an unarmed peace, not based on fear, threats or weapons. This peace is disarming, because it is capable of resolving conflicts, opening hearts, and generating trust, empathy, and hope. I strongly reiterate: The world thirsts for #Peace! Enough of war and all the pain it causes through death, destruction, and exile! #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon
#Peace is everyone’s responsibility, beginning with civil authorities. To govern means to love one’s own country as well as neighboring countries. The commandment “love your neighbor as yourself” is equally applicable to international relations! #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/C4zkA2S0YB
Dulce Sloan on the double standard of victim-blaming:
"Women are told to take self-defense classes. Don't dress provocatively. Carry a knife. Carry pepper spray. Carry all of these things."
Dulce lays out the contradiction at the heart of how society responds to assault:
You're handed a list of precautions, an entire burden of preparation placed squarely on potential victims. But then, when something happens despite all of that, the response flips: disbelief.
"You told me to do all of these things. And so if I'm being attacked, somebody's doing it."
That line cuts right to the core of the problem. The very existence of the safety checklist is an acknowledgment that attacks happen and that there are people out there committing them. Yet the conversation never turns to face them.
"We're never talking about who. We're not telling the attackers not to attack. We're telling the victim: 'Don't get attacked.'"
She then points to the gap in logic that men rarely have to sit with:
"Every man that heard that was just like, 'Well, I would never. We're not doing it to each other.' So how is it that no man has done it but it has happened to every [woman]?"
