Trump’s Press Secretary fired after 5 days. Ok. We all knew that was coming…but here’s my question. Why is it only the incompetent *women* that Trump seems able to fire? Cuz there’s a whole lot of incompetent men who need to go too.

Shout out to one of my all time favourite Saints and spiritual writers - Teresa of Avila- whose feast day is today: Oct 15. Few Saints have combined the heights of mystical prayer with the depths of human compassion, sharp humour and hard- headed business acumen. /1

Meme showing St Teresa writing with a quill and her quote: “From silly devotions and sour-faced saints, good Lord, deliver us.”

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

Most animals that fall through the ice die from hypothermia/drown. People who are prepared and care enough to rescue them are rare.

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

Actually, those things were "extravagant" to many Americans back then, too, but just getting by has become much harder since the oligarch Republicans and Trump, cheered on by their mindless mob of supporters, took over our democracy in January 2025 and started dismantling it for their own profit.

Investigative journalist Daphne Galizia reported on government corruption, allegations of money laundering & more in #Malta. A "one-woman WikiLeaks." Known internationally for her investigation of the Panama Papers, she was assassinated by a car bomb in #OTD in 2017. 🧵 #Journalism #PressFreedom

A black-and-white portrait of the prominent Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia (1964–2017), who gained international acclaim for exposing political corruption and money laundering tied to the Panama Papers before her tragic assassination. She faces the camera directly with a subtle, composed, and knowing smile, her warm eyes conveying intelligence and resilience. Her dark, straight hair is parted down the middle, framing her face and cascading over her shoulders. She wears prominent, ornate, drop-style dangling earrings that feature concentric circular designs, catching the light. Her blouse is light-colored and adorned with delicate, patterned floral embroidery along the neckline. The background is softly blurred and indistinct, focusing all attention on her powerful presence. The overall mood is dignified and reflective, serving as an impactful historical testament to press freedom and courage.

Marthe Wandou is a lawyer, gender-equality advocate & peace activist. In 2021, she was awarded the prestigious Right Livelihood Award (the “Alternative Nobel Prize”) for her work protecting women & children in conflict zones and promoting #WomensRights. Born #OTD in 1963. #Cameroon #HumanRights

A charmiing color photograph of Marthe Wandou, a prominent Cameroonian lawyer, gender-equality advocate, and peace activist. Born October 15, 1963, she is the founder of ALDEPA and the first Cameroonian to receive the Right Livelihood Award for protecting women and children from extremist violence (2021). She sits slightly turned toward the right, a warm, soft smile gracing her face. Her gaze is just slightly past the camera to the right. She wears a vibrant, traditional African dress featuring rich purple, orange, brown, and cream tie-dye batik patterns, adorned with an intricately detailed, semi-circular embroidered neckline of red and violet teardrop motifs. A matching silk headwrap is tied in a stylized knot over her dark braided hair, complementing her large, chunky gold hoop earrings and a delicate gold chain necklace. A small black lapel microphone is clipped to her collar. The background is softly out of focus, suggesting a spacious indoor or courtyard setting with faint, neutral gray-toned stone walls and a dark sculptural element obscured to the left, focusing all attention on her serene, dignified, and hopeful expression.

Considering the blitzkrieg of stories after the raid on John Bolton, I'm wondering why the targeting of Ilhan Omar has prompted so little coverage and no condemnation from the NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post. Or perhaps, they are simply telling us who they are.

You can get away with saying these things in a society that has strategically underfunded education, increased social and financial inequity and pushed social media to shorten attention spans. Few people will question it or know how to research the truth of it. /1

President Obama held a speaking event in Glasgow, Scotland last night, where a sold-out crowd of 12,000 packed the arena. At this point, the only way Trump could attract a crowd this size would be for his funeral, or if he paid the attendees (alot).

I don't mind 'face tuning," if that's their thing, but jeez, could they at least consider paying for quality rather than taking the bargain basement deal? These poor, befuddled women look like badly drawn, creepy cartoon characters.
