We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
Okay, I think I see what's going on here. Heather is putting these pieces together long before the news outlets and official statements are putting them together, which is why tonight's second-half (about the purloined documents) sounds like an echo of stuff we've already heard. We have heard it before, thanks to Heather's excellent narrative work.
The second half of this letter is a (MUCH) more crisp capture than otherwise exists anywhere that I have seen, of some past information.

Yes, and in the late 1980s, I took a class in expository writing. There, I learned that the new style for journalism had become “build the narrative”. This literally meant that fiction could become the new reality. When I questioned the professor (senior level class) how a reader could understand the facts of a story, he looked at me rather sadly and said: “that is the problem, and I don’t know the answer”. Now, 40 years later, we can all see — not only where that school of thought went, but what it’s tenets led to.
