NEW: Pope Leo XIV has named Salvadoran immigrant Evelio Menijar-Ayala to be West Virginia’s lone Catholic bishop.
As a teenager, he made three attempts to enter the United States illegally.
He finally arrived in California in 1990, having been smuggled in the trunk of a car with his brother over the border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego.
Over the next several years, Menjivar-Ayala worked janitorial and construction jobs in California before deciding to become a priest.
It’s a remarkable choice in a state that is over 90% white and voted for President Trump by 42 points.
I have a knee jerk reaction to dunk on them but they didn’t support Mamdani until he was elected so at least it’s something
( it’s probably racism but it’s something )
The same people who fucked Bernie, wouldn’t endorse Zohran for Mayor. But he became mayor anyways. Platner will be a senator anyways. AOC remains among 2028 hopefuls in polls anyways. Bernie planted a seed.
Bernie Sanders announced his first run for president 11 years ago today, bringing socialism from the fringes of American discourse to the political forefront.
@MshanBC So if even democrats aren’t in your tent!!!!!!! Who do you expect to vote for your candidate when you call everyone stupid!!!!! Do you think that encourages vote????
@MshanBC You’re so fucking stupid!! No they won’t become leftist!!! They voted for Trump bc he said no new wars and no more tax, they QUITE LITERALLY BOUGHT into a left agenda except Kamala was going on about a lethal military
@MshanBC Please keep catching dems tweeting in a moment of weakness. Because I am a leftist, but not everyone you call a dumb fuck is. And we will catch them when they fall. They can have sweet dreams on my naïve pillow. We don’t need to argue, results will shake out.
@MshanBC Please keep tweeting. Please keep calling people a dumb fuck if they don’t agree with the dems. They will find a home. With leftist. With people who understand if you work a 16 hour day maybe you didn’t catch the evening news. Keep calling people stupid. I hope you do.
@MshanBC And I won’t be fist fighting folks on the internet either way. Let’s get health care. Day care, quite literally anything. And then we can first fight.
@MshanBC You didn’t read the article I linked enough to know when it was posted before rebutting. If you just wanna fight, do it. I want to make change, and change for the good. If that means Kamala gets elected next time or a red book carrying commie is immaterial to me.
