[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

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 people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

[Saint Hoax @SaintHoax]

not a single major outlet is reporting on this, meanwhile we’re getting wall-to-wall coverage of chappelle roan’s bodyguard making a girl cry

[DC_Draino @DC_Draino]

I don’t think people are fully grasping what happened in TX-23.

A married Congressman with 6 kids was sexting 1 of his taxpayer funded staffers asking for “sexy” pictures & had an affair with her.

She set herself on fire and killed herself.

Tony Gonzales needs to resign.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

The argument structure is always the same.

Leaded petrol: we need it for engine performance. Removing it would increase costs and damage the car industry.
We removed it. Engines still work. Blood lead levels dropped. Childhood IQ scores rose.

DDT: we need it for crop protection. Removing it would devastate agriculture.
We removed it. Agriculture continued. Bald eagle populations recovered. Breast milk became cleaner.

Asbestos: we need it for fire resistance and insulation. Removing it would compromise building safety.
We removed it. Buildings remain standing. Mesothelioma rates began to decline.

CFCs: we need them for refrigeration. Alternatives don't work as well.
We removed them. Refrigeration continues. The ozone layer is recovering.

Glyphosate: we need it to feed the world. Removing it would cause famine.

The script is identical.

The industry interest is identical.

The outcome, each time we've removed the "essential" chemical, has also been identical.

We managed.

We always manage.

The chemical was never as essential as the company selling it said.

3 million pages of evidence of a massive child sex trafficking ring and this is what the FBI director is doing right now.

[Lauren @cabsav456]

I just listened to the James Talarico interview. Never would’ve heard it otherwise without the FCC chaos. These were his very last words:

“They want us talking about furries and bathrooms so we don’t realize that they are picking our pockets, that they are closing our schools, they are gutting our healthcare, and they are raising taxes on all of us while they cut taxes for their billionaire donors. The culture wars are a smoke screen because the real fight in this country is not left versus right; it’s top versus bottom.”

Again, the Republicans are going to have to do a whole lot better than “Vote for us because we’re not the left.”

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

The release of the Epstein files feels less like transparency and more like a psychological operation. It overwhelms the most empathetic and intellectually engaged people with outrage and despair, while numbing everyone else into apathy and boredom.

Explained by a lawyer.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

I feel like we don't talk enough about how Trump had teen sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell moved to a cushy minimum security facility where she has a puppy and is waited on hand and foot by prison officials, because truly, we are ruled by demons.

[Jeff Wells @JeffWellsRigInt]

The surprise hasn't been the blackmail and ritual abuse. It's that nearly everything of cultural significance of the past 15 years was touched by Epstein's circle. Blockchain, Bitcoin, Gaming, Reddit, 4Chan, QAnon, Gender, Covid. It isn't the Epstein Network. It's The Network.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Doctors advising on how to get babies to “suck harder”.

Doctors providing abortions to underage girls.

Doctors treating STIs and ectopic pregnancies in children.

None of them have lost their licenses. They enabled a pedophile & they’re still treating patients.

[Ella Maulding @ellamaulding]

Andrew Tate said the victims were “lying whores” btw

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: @AOC just completely went off on Trump after ICE murdered Alex Pretti.

"Donald Trump [is] accusing a Veteran Affairs ICU nurse (Alex Pretti) as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating services members to our country, who was dedicating his life to serving Americans. Who in his final act on this earth was helping a woman pushed to the ground. And they are calling him a Domestic Terrorist, in order to defend their gross abuse of power, their absolute breaching of the law and in order to precipitate greater conflict."

[💕 Doll Face✨ @smoke_nd_pearlz]

Yup. He’s up to 11 pounds. They have to transfer him to another hospital for because the current hospital he’s at cannot meet his complex needs. The family is 100% responsible for the cost even tho the state forced them to keep that poor woman “alive” as a human incubator.

No news outlet is covering this, you know why? Because the fucking experiment on a black woman’s body has FAILED miserably. The only updates are from grandma’s go fund me. They let that woman die for a clump of cells (she was only 9 weeks pregnant at the time) that’s not even doing ok 6 months later. 6 months is a long time to be in nicu!

Adriana Smith is her name. I am so sorry the state did this to you. You were a 30 year old nurse with a kid who was already here who needed you. The state failed you, the very hospital that you worked at who was so supposed to help you failed you…everybody failed you.

This country has so much wealth, if people actually got paid what they're worth we could drop the retirement age to 50. Instead, they're tricking you into making it so your kids can never retire by demonizing trans people and immigrants.

All our problems originate with the rich.

[tyler oakley @tyleroakley]

a sudden culture war is really convenient for everyone who really wouldn’t want a class war

[The Serfs (youtube.com/theserftimes) @theserfstv]

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Tonight, Congress will vote to lower the age to prosecute minors as adults from 16 down to 14 in DC.

Let me get this straight:

Congress wants to prosecute 14 yr. olds as adults, but they don’t want to prosecute adults who sexually abuse 14 year olds?

Release the Epstein files.

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

we’ve spent the last decade having to hear about the danger cancel culture on the left poses to america because there was like a three year period you couldn’t have a netflix special if you got charged with sexual assault
