All initial evidence suggested that Pope Leo “was something entirely different from both Francis and Donald Trump: a quiet American, as I called him last summer. That description is now obsolete,” Francis X. Rocca argues: theatln.tc/mv9IE8vW 📸: Manon Cruz / Reuters

This is very, very good btw convergencemag.com/articles/a-cou…

why is he just about the only US elected official capable of basic moral clarity

What it’s all about, at the end of the day:

Hey New York, no one likes unnecessary scaffolding. Thankfully, we have a plan — and John Wilson is here to help break it down.

Los EEUU ganaron la batalla cultural a través del cine; los malos siempre eran los comunistas de la Unión Soviética, y así sigue pensando la población mundial. En tiktok se reproduce la misma dinámica, creo que no es tan difícil entender a qué hacía alusión @gabrielrufian

EXCLUSIVE: On Zohran Mamdani's 100th day in office as mayor of New York City, his office released a video in collaboration with documentarian John Wilson about new policies designed to reduce the amount of scaffolding in the city. variety.com/2026/politics/…

No es solo que leamos menos. Leemos textos más cortos y simples. Las frases en bestsellers son hoy un 30% más breves que en los años 30. Si perdemos la capacidad de leer prosa compleja, quizá perdamos también la capacidad de pensar con matices. La política no es ajena a ello. The Economist economist.com/culture/2025/0…

Hay mexicanos que entregarían a su gente con tal de ser un poquito gringos jajajaja Están bien pendejos

this is why all the msm smears & manufactured outrage on here means nothing! we have a wonderful community in the real world that go out and plant seeds for trees they’ll never sit in the shade of

Does Mayor Mamdani still believe President Trump's a fascist despite their second cordial White House meeting in February? "Yes," Mamdani said during his sit-down interview with POLITICO this week. w/ @joeanuta politico.com/news/2026/04/1…

Se cumplen 100 días del mandato de Zohran Mandami y NYC no es todavía un soviet islámico. nytimes.com/2026/04/08/nyr…

NEW: We talked to an NYC millionaire who wants Kathy Hochul to tax him more. He said he "wouldn't even notice" a tax increase, especially since he already got a break in the Big Beautiful Bill. Taxing the rich wouldn't change his life much—but it would help millions of people.

My latest Guardian piece on @hasanthehun contains an important reminder that Cory Booker says he “text messages back and forth like teenagers” with AIPAC’s president. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

god I hate this faux populist bullshit. K-12 is also free for rich people, as are public parks, the fire dept, libraries etc. Study after study shows means testing is the quickest way to gut programs for the rich AND the poor because it erodes the public base of support.

Just a few months ago, @ezraklein called on Democrats to abandon reproductive rights, @mattyglesias called for Democrats to join Republicans in bullying trans kids, and many more in the Vox/Faux DC Centrism orbit called on Democrats to acquiesce in Trump's mass deportation schemes in order to "do what's popular" and "win elections." Following these recommendations would certainly have made the Democratic Party “a little more hateful, a little more misogynistic, a little more vulgar, and a little dumber” — but no one who has clutched their pearls over Hasan Piker in the last two weeks ever voiced any concerns about these leading lights of DC centrism when they pushed these reactionary positions. What gives? Considering @hasanthehun has never pushed the Democratic Party to adopt such wacko positions, he seems much better than Ezra Klein, Yglesias, and other Faux DC Centrists at keeping the Democratic Party "on the right side of history." I mean, if we win by throwing people under the bus as recommended by these amoral think-piece writers, would it even be worth it? What kind of victory would that even be?

This is a courage and a confidence in Trump’s humanity that I frankly don’t have. Moving display.

This whole piece is unhinged, penned by a former writer for the National Review, former staffer in the Reagan administration, cheerleader of the Iraq war who wrote in 2008 (!) for the Jewish Policy Center a missive demanding the US not leave Iraq but “take Vienna” saying “[if we withdrew] The Islamists from Bali to London to Gaza to Islamabad would have felt a rush of adrenaline. Our friends would have shrunk from us to make their separate deals. Buoyed by victory against the full might of American arms in Iraq, the Islamists would doubtless have begun a new campaign of terror throughout the world.” Who in this very piece is justifying war with Iran. In late October 2023 she justified the genocide by saying “After a few days of this horror, even people of goodwill will begin to forget their sympathy for Israel and demand that the killing stop. "What good does it do?" they will ask. "Aren't both sides equally at fault?" But both sides are not equally at fault here. Gaza is not occupied. But even if it were, it would not justify Hamas's crimes against humanity” For anyone this bloodthirsty to feel they have the right to tut tut about decency is truly beyond the pale. This person is the epitome of the rot infesting every square inch of the earth. jewishpolicycenter.org/2008/08/31/don… unionleader.com/opinion/column….
