BREAKING: Pope declares Trump’s war prayer circus β€œImmoral” and warns MAGA that war is not holy.

Pope Leo XIV said, after evangelical leaders gathered in the Oval Office to lay hands on Donald Trump and bless his war with Iran, β€œWar is not holy; only peace is holy, because it is willed by God."

a tan long-haired dachshund with incredibly floofy ears sits with his front paws on a window sill and his nose pressed up against the window. he's accompanied by his stuffed squirrel friend. their reflections stares back at them. Stevie the dachshund does not see the irony in watching for squirrels with his squirrel friend. he's too busy being locked in on the happenings outside his window.

This is Stevie. He's on squirrel watch. His stuffed friend is also a squirrel, but he's one of the good ones. 14/10 (IG: longdogstevie)

If a bunch of out of touch boomers didn't rush everyone back to work instead of a hybrid model, the rise in gas prices wouldn't hurt as much.

Was. He renounced in 2014. Canadians are still rejoicing.

I’m afraid he belongs to Texas now

Ah, but remember now…he did β€œacknowledge” the first American bomb strikes.

If that’s not statesmanship, then I simply don’t know what is.

I know. Feeling unwelcome in the most welcoming country in the world.

Just shows how utterly unaware so many Americansβ€”especially *those* onesβ€”can be sometimes.

It is.

In fact it’s worse than it sounds.

I made the mistake of trying it once. Exactly once. Not twice. Definitely not twice.

WHY are we still having these insanely stupid fucking discussions?

90% tax on all billionaires
75% on all capital gains over whatever it is these rich fuckers make.

The naming of Ayatollah Khamemei today ensures that the majority of GOP senators will continue to think the exact same guy has been running Iran since 1979

I’m sure they do.

But I’d say that they’re in something of a minority.

Also, I’m reasonably certainβ€”though willing to be corrected hereβ€”that Mexico also technically counts as β€œabroad” for Americans. For now, at least.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...

"How will you pay for it?"

The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...

"How much do you need?"

It doesn't have to be this way.

The current situation reminds me how magical I find it that the petrol already in storage tanks at petrol stations manages to increase in price in line with global oil prices almost instantly.

But to decrease it always seems to need to wait a bit longer for the new, cheaper stuff to arrive.

If they’re outside America, they more than likely didn’t vote for him.

Mate, the spirit of the South never really went away.

The Confederacy lost, but I’m not entirely sure the Union won. Not really, not long-term.

Looking forward to his 7:50 call-in to Morning Report tomorrow. Last week’s was an utter cringefest.

Trump forgets here that this is literally what the Americans did in 1941.

In Helsinki they housed their homeless, and solved the problem.

In Auckland, our β€œChristian” PM owns a number of houses that sit empty but wants to fine the homeless for their poverty.

I don’t think they preach on Matthew 25:31-46 at his church very often.
