"almost every night since Oct 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety and offer words of prayer and support. His last public act, the day before he died, was to call for a ceasefire in Gaza."

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

It's excellent to see young journalism students at @northeasternu.bsky.social digging into the Flint Water Crisis, uncovering why very little has been done a decade later. It's part of our mentoring program at @dcreport.bsky.social.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

I was privileged to know Gene Hackman because he played tennis with another Gene—Gene Wilder. And that Gene told him about a little role called The Blind Hermit in our movie YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN…

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

If Musk/Trump want to save money they'd cancel the 2017 Trump tax law which this year will cost us more than $100 Billion in interest charges as paid for with borrowing. More than double the cost of U.S. AID humanitarian work. AID is a U.S. jobs program, giving American-made food, medicine, etc.

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Good night. 💜

Hey. It's late.
Quit reading the news.
Drink a glass of wine and
remember when
Jesus did the same thing with some
friends in an upper room. "The new
covenant poured out for you."
Eat something that
tastes like home.
Break the bread. Jesus did
that too.
Watch something
side-splitting on the tv or
tell eachother bad jokes 'til you
laugh so hard you cry.
Laugh. I dare you. Laugh in
the face of all this. Go
make love with your
beloved. Curl up and
hold onto one another. Say your
Prayers. God knows
we need them.
Sleep.
And dream good dreams.
We all deserve
good dreams tonight. Wake up.
Wake up.
Get woke. And
start again tomorrow when the
day breaks, just like the bread, and
hope is poured out anew.

How The Day Ends

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
