Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @Reuters

Leo has made care for immigrants and the poor key themes of his early papacy.

This is more than a media story — it’s a scandal. Trump & co. broke the law to send people to face horrific torture, many of whom were innocent, and lied about it. THIS Supreme Court held 9-0 that they violated due process laws. They responded to questions about torturing
🚨The U.S. government does not want you to know that it sent innocent people to be tortured through a program that the Supreme Court unanimously ruled violated due process. Innocent men were humiliated, beaten, starved, and raped. We sent them there. We paid for their detention.

From trashing murdered director Rob Reiner to renaming the Kennedy Center for himself, Donald Trump has impacted the arts in notable, yet unorthodox ways.

I’m not saying that my wife needs to dress in all black and grieve me for a year or anything like that, but I’d like to think she’d stay away from sparkling pantsuits and onstage fireworks displays for, like, a few months at least.
