While I’m not a religious person, I would he remiss to not express my deep sorrow at the loss of Pope #Francis , whose leadership and bulwark against authoritarianism we so desperately needed. Rest easy, and thank you for standing up to world bullies, Francis.

Germany managed to stand up and avoided handing over their democracy to Elon today. Next time, we may not be so lucky. We have to root out fascism wherever we find it, before it takes hold.
