When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.
When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

I am not a Catholic, but I LOVE these words of the current Pope.
📌Pope Leo XIV TODAY:
“The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. Blessed are the peacemakers, but woe to those who manipulate religion and the name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
He is NOT backing down.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Abhorrent. My tax dollars being used to handsomely reward people to destroy, to cause pain, to damage .... when so many people doing work to help, to heal, to teach, are struggling to get by.
This is super hard to take.

Notice ICE recruits aren’t hiding their faces. Disgraceful way to make a living!
We’ve got money to hand ICE fat salaries, signing bonuses, even student loan forgiveness (no college degree required). But we can’t afford to pay teachers, fund better healthcare, or keep Social Security alive.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).
