And taking the subways in New York shows what not having privilege looks like. For all the essential workers having to ride NYC subway right now, the exposure they face to viral transmission in the subway is potentially deadly. Demand the MTA protects essential workers!
On his return flight from France, Pope Leo XIV is asked about the steady decline of Catholic Church in Germany and the astonishing rise of both the extremist Left and Far Right in Germany.
On the former the Pope says: "The phrase you said the Church is dying in Germany, or the diminishing numbers. People have said that about France in the past and yet we saw what happened over the past four days. I believe that if we find the true missionary spirit and the right way to go about it, there are still many, many people in Germany who want to live and celebrate their Christian and Catholic faith."
On the latter: "we go back to the values of the Gospel, which are not about hatred and division, but they're about understanding and compassion and accompanying. I hope deeply, and hopefully the Church can also be a part of this—that we can find ways of reaching out to a majority of people of goodwill who will understand how important that their commitment, even in terms of participating in political processes, will enable them to make clear choices for the common good and not for extremist ideas that perhaps will do much more damage than we are even aware of right now."
This was amazing.
A mariachi band performed the United States National Anthem at last night’s game.
If you are angry over this then you are a part of the problem.
10 Hills I’ll die on:
- Big corporations shouldn’t be able to buy elections
- A good education shouldn’t just be for rich kids
- Getting sick shouldn’t mean going broke
- We should invest in child care like we do our roads and libraries
- Billionaires should pay their fair share so everyone else gets a fair shot
- Homes are for people, not corporations
- Abortion is health care
- Americans should not have to subsidize the cost of data centers
- No one should be able to use public office to make themselves richer
- We need to put put power back in the hands of working people
It really is amazing - and telling - that Susan Collins was caught in a massive bribery scandal and no one in establishment media cares.
They investigated every five minute block of Graham Platner's life. But they won't touch Susan Collins, who gave away tens of millions of dollars of our money to people who donated to her and her Super Pac. That's a direct robbery of the American people. The FBI has all the evidence. And the media won't report on it!
Mainstream media loves bribery - and actively tries to cover it up so no one finds out about it. Why? Because they are the top beneficiary of this corruption. Almost all the money politicians get through these bribes goes in to ... ads on mainstream media.
The national media makes billions from this system of corruption, so their main job is not to inform you, it's to do the exact opposite. Their job is to make sure you remain blind to what's making everyone in Washignton rich - at our expense.
@Acyn Trump was asked for a message to voters.
He made it through “communists,” “lunatics” and “socialists” before apparently wandering into the plumbing aisle.
“People who are going to open up the water.”
