NEW: No modern pope has sustained a campaign of this scope against an active American military operation. In twenty-five days, the U.S.-born Pope Leo XIV has told Christian soldiers to promote peace, ordered Catholic politicians who perpetuate war to go to confession, called for a permanent ban on aerial bombing, and demanded a ceasefire — repeatedly, publicly, and without apology. thelettersfromleo.com/p/hatred-is-in…

If you want to understand the US, this video would be a very good place to start The median American is not interested in what happens overseas. This is a constraint on the US government (voters don’t like foreign adventurism) but also liberates the government as well (you can do what you want and you don’t need to build “consensus” at home. Do most Americans support the air war in Iran? Does it matter? Even asking the question is the wrong frame in my opinion) But woe to the politician in DC who forgets The First Commandment of American interventionism: Thou Shalt Not Visit the Consequences on Americans America is very big, very rich, and usually able to externalize the downsides of its foreign policy on others. So in practice, American politicians can get away with a lot. But most countries don’t have this luxury You read a lot of moralizing commentary on X about how America’s decisions will inevitably blow back on the US. But this never really seems to happen. Believing in some sort of divine or programmed moral comeuppance is a kind of cope. It will never arrive

In a world where many democrats have embraced pie-in-the-sky middle class tax cuts, leave it to a democratic socialist like Mamdani to seriously engage with budgeting tradeoffs and embrace an efficient broad based property tax increase

you can still make a beautiful life for yourself even if you feel like you’ve lost many years to grief or darkness

🇫🇷🇮🇱 FLASH | Les insoumis Sébastien Delogu, David Guiraud et François Piquemal ont tous trois été la cible d’une opération de déstabilisation sur les réseaux sociaux durant les élections municipales. De faux sites et de faux comptes auraient été créés par une mystérieuse société localisée en Israël. La DGSE et le renseignement intérieur enquêtent. (Le Canard enchaîné)

Judge rules that 17-year-old Walid Ahmad likely starved to death in Israeli military detention, but closes the case anyway. Israel never charged him with a crime and still holds his body. Here’s how he died, as reported by his cellmate, 16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim:

The only belief Newsom holds is that he should be president lol

This week a radicalizing event for people whose whole personality is having TSA pre-check

NEW: Pope Leo XIV just called for the permanent abolition of aerial bombing — a first for any pope. “Airplanes should always be vehicles of peace, never war. No one should have to fear that threats of death and destruction might come from the sky.” The demand came as Trump’s war against Iran entered week four. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leo-xiv…

With 60% turnout, the defeat is atrocious It was a political vote, on whether you hate more Meloni or the judiciary Italians said: NO TO MELONI’S ASSAULT ON INSTITUTIONS NO WAR ON IRAN NO TO ISRAEL’S GENOCIDE NO TO TRUMP Being a Trump/Bibi puppet as Meloni is bad politics

oh good heavens however will i grow more plants to fight back these zombies the ever bountiful sunflower:

deleted an entire family off the face of the planet, transferred all her assets so she couldn't get sued, and the judge gives her probation we're basically doing ritual human sacrifice to appease the angry pantheon of car drivers and old people

I don't think I'm hot enough to be gay this is just embarrassing bruh

The IEA’s “Sheltering from Oil Shocks” pamphlet reads like a Degrowth manual

they’re calling it the most cursed endorsement list of all time

a freeway costs $50-200 million per mile to build and we don't ask it to turn a profit. a train line proposes the same price tag and suddenly it needs to be self-funding by 2031. the infrastructure we subsidize reveals what we value and we have chosen the car every single time
