It is motivated by the idea that if you’re not with us, you’re against us, which means that once they’ve dealt with the refugees they’re coming for you.

During his visit to Spain, the Pope held up Fray Hernando de Talavera as an example for the Church to follow. So who was Talavera, and what’s the significance? 🧵

We need a bit more team Pope Leo - this week in Spain: "Our prosperity and security comes from meeting with (and seeking to understand) other cultures not from seeking conflict." "A nation which loses the ability to conduct sincere dialogue, turns public debate into an ideological battle field."

I'm totally baffled abt the markets. Where is Capital? Trump is messing w/ govt data; imposing tariffs; flirting w/ default; meddling in corporate management. Where are the CEO complaints?

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵
