The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM
“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

Imagine you were dealing with a person who would report that there was two and there was also this other two but didn't want to add them up to get to four, because getting all the way to four felt like making a statement and they didn't want to alarm anybody or be accused of making an accusation.

A thread as the SAVE Act comes to the Senate. Senator Tammy Baldwin, D-WI @baldwin.senate.gov American women face real concerns under the proposed SAVE Act whereby voter ID must match your birth certificate. You were born Tammy Suzanne Green Baldwin. Do you share these concerns?

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

The SAVE Act would erect unnecessary barriers to registering to vote in the U.S. especially for women who have changed their surname, trans voters, young voters without a passport, and more. Here's what we can do ⤵️

I have a sinking feeling all the nonsense with the markets today is meant to distract us from this vote in the Senate tomorrow. We need clear-eyed focus on this. Call your senators. VOTE NO ON THE SAVE ACT!!!!

69M married women could lose their voting rights if the SAVE Act is passed. Transgender individuals too. Why? Absent a valid passport, you must present a birth certificate *with the same name as your registration* to be registered. This is insane! Hands Off Her Vote

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9
This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order.
