Dude has been following around National Guard Troops in DC playing the Imperial March from Star Wars. No all heroes wear capes.

In 1934, Germany passed a law making it a crime to tell jokes or laugh at its leaders. We can’t go down that road. Because what’s next is you can’t post what you want on social media. And you can’t text your friends anything that might upset the government. That’s not the way it should be. The people shouldn’t be afraid of their government. The government should be afraid of the people!

Pope Leo prays for the victims of a “terrible massacre” in Benue State, Nigeria. Around 200 people were “brutally killed” in Yelwata, in the Guma Local Government Area on the night of the 13th/14th June, the Pope said, most of them internally displaced persons “sheltered by the local Catholic mission”. Speaking just before delivering the Sunday Angelus prayer, the Pope prayed for “security, justice, and peace” in Nigeria, adding that he was thinking in particular of the “rural Christian communities of the Benue State who have been relentless victims of violence”. Responding to the attack, Amnesty International Nigeria on Saturday called on Nigerian authorities to “immediately end the almost daily bloodshed in Benue State and bring the actual perpetrators to justice”.
