We've lost one of our greatest popes just when we need him most.RIP @pontifexes.bsky.social Your Christian love, acceptance & Grace was inspiring. We'll miss your presence. I pray the Conclave selects similarly for our next great Catholic leader. #NoOneIsPerfect #Grace #PopeFrancis #PapaFransico

⚠️ Trump’s threat to democracy echoes history’s worst (John Adams, Woodrow Wilson) — but unlike them, he’s back with a plan to dismantle it. Our episode explains why this is unprecedented and how citizen resistance can rise to the challenge again. #Authoritarianism podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

We cannot wait for the change we wish to see. Instead, we must create it ourselves from the bottom up. We *cannot* wait until 2026. Any politician who says otherwise uses the system that benefits them. It's time to get used to making civic action part of our daily lives. #EndOligarchy #Resist

Every once in a while criticisms of American foreign policy are met with an insistence that actually the US does a lot of good in the world, citing work by organizations like USAID. The current administration seems determined to completely destroy that argument.
