"The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good." —Pope Leo XIV

POPOK REPORTS: NYC’s new “Trump & Epstein Memorial Reading Room,” filled with 3.5 million Epstein-file pages, stands as proof of crimes against 1,200+ victims who refuse to be silenced by Trump, Melania, the DOJ, FBI, or the powerful elite.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Tell Verizon: Stop Powering Detention, Deportation, and Abuse.. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Donald J. Trump has driven this nation to the precipice. This is not a normal political disagreement. It is a constitutional emergency. Read more from Rick Wilson: https://www.againstallenemies.net/p/a-declaration-of-independence-from?r=1ne2d&shareImageVariant=overlay&triedRedirect=true

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

Baptism begins w/renouncing Satan & evil: Military incursions and bombings? I renounce them. Big Lie and Insurrection defended by Orwellian propaganda? I renounce them. Masked state agents rounding up human beings and shooting those who protest? I renounce them. open.substack.com/pub/dianabut...

“Do not get lost in a sea of despair.” - John Lewis #RIP

Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.

Oregonians: tag me in your photos of no kings rallies across our state today so I can show the country how Oregon shows up to say “hell no” to kings.

If we write off all news media, we’re playing into Trump’s hands. Some outlets are doing well while others stink. In this installment of my free Stop the Presses newsletter, I give letter grades to major media outlets. See if you agree.

Scenes of carnage and destruction on the streets of Portland. Spread this widely. The world must know. 😂

Jeezus, man, be careful!

OMG!

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat. I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Share my name.

OT reading for 8/24 (Isa 58). DHS won't be quoting it. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness & your gloom be like the noonday.

UPDATE: I called Steve and asked him if he wanted to delete his post calling for the murder of my husband and me or should I have people call them all day and he hung up on me so I think that means he wants people to call his business all day.

What does the scripture teach us about caring for the poor, the sick and the afflicted? Matthew 25:35

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Together we will resist you. Together we will oppose you. And together we will outlast you. Because we are what is making America as great as it is—and you and those alongside you are the enemies of the greatness we can achieve. You won’t win. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo... #NoKingsDay

BREAKING: Kamala Harris issues statement on Los Angeles.

Academic freedom in the United States has found itself periodically under siege, but the current attacks from the federal government raise a new level of alarm. nyer.cm/u405qvQ

The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.

As an older American, I’m so grateful to be part of Third Act.

BREAKING: In a victory for voters, a three-judge panel with two Trump appointees rules that Alabama’s 2023 congressional map is unconstitutional and violates the VRA, calling it “an intentional effort to dilute Black Alabamians’ voting strength.” From: @jenrice.bsky.social

The last four months have proven that Ayn Rand was right about modern society being made up of producers and looters. She was wrong about which was which. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/ayn-rand-w...

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

“Love our neighbors - Welcome the stranger - Care for the most vulnerable among us - Speak the truth - Work for justice…”
