This is obscene. Trump orders safe conduct for Alexei Mordashov's $500 mn superyacht, Nord. Mordashov is a key Kremlin henchman who has expanded his fortune building bombs Putin dropped on hospitals and nurseries in Ukraine. He is a war criminal. But Trump just loves him because of his ostentation.

A superyacht linked to sanctioned Russian billionaire Alexey Mordashov sailed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, shipping data showed, one of very few vessels to ​transit the blockaded shipping...

I thought Alito was history’s worst supreme court justice. But Thomas has outdone him | Robert Reich
The supreme court justice recently condemned an entire philosophy of government. How can we believe in his impartiality?

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.
Screenshot of a tweet by perrito barista (@Carlitospindola), translated from Spanish, quoting Pope Leo responding to a question about migration by reframing it: "What is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate?" The embedded video shows the Pope holding a microphone aboard what appears to be a plane, with clergy visible behind him.

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

The Pope’s response to being threatened by the Pentagon? - Cancelled his July 4th US visit. - Spending our 250th birthday on an island where African migrants wash ashore. - Told Catholics to call their reps and demand an end to the Iran war. The first American pope. He will NOT be bullied by Trump!

One silver lining about ICE working in the airports is that they all have to be unmasked. Meaning that ICE will be forced to show their faces and identity. So, y'know... maybe this is an opportunity.

Fancy that. A gas station. Where no car is tanking gas - but the EV chargring units are fully occupied. The stone age didn’t end because we ran out of stones – and the fossil‑fuel age won’t end because we run out of oil. It will end because better, more reliable technologies take over.
