AHAHAJAJAJAJAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJA IT GETS BETTER WITH #PopeLeoXIV : he may well be like my THING2, an #incognegro

Robert Prevost seems to be Black Haitian from one his maternal branches

https://www.nola.com/news/first-american-pope-roots-new-orleans/article_3c7bfdf1-8f69-452e-af01-90aa012366df.html#tncms-source=featured-top

so Robert Prevost is, not just Real American™, but AfroHaitian and NOLA Creole. this may explain why CELAC considers him latinoamericano, along with the fact he migrated and is a citizen of Perú.

🗣 THE FIRST AMERICAN POPE IS NOT JUST ANTI-MAGA, HE BLACK!

Rerum Novarum is supposed to be a condemnation of socialism, but not shocking that it wasn’t enough for the capitalist class.

on the contrary, they saw it as a threat. it’s because of Leo XIIIs liberalish views on #labor that many #unions across the Américas were organized inside catholic churches.

so calling back to the #pope who inspired millions into unionizing, should be intersting in the era of #AI

LMAO
THING1 just walked in:

ME: did you hear?

T1: and he went to #Villanova

ME: …

T1: 🗣 #Knicks IN FOUR!

ME: AAAAAAAAAAH! fuck, yeah!

i giggled when i found out Prevost had chosen the name Leo XIV. here’s a TL;DR on Leo XIII:

❝ Commonly known by the title “On the Condition of the Working Classes,” the lengthy “Rerum Novarum” sets out a body of papal teaching in response to the state of industrial society in the late 19th century. In doing so, says Catholic writer Robert Royal, Pope Leo’s 1891 encyclical “has shaped Catholic social teaching ever since.”

#PopeLeoXIV #conclave #catholcism

never has a #Catholic #pope had such a ringing endorsement from a fascist like Laura Loomer:

❝ He is anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-open Borders, and a total Marxist like Pope Francis. ❞

yes, this is a huge statement by #RCC #conclave : it took them less than two days to realize they need a YOUNG & AMERICANO leader who saw USA #MAGA #fascism as the existential to humanity that it is.

just because he’s from Chicago, don’t get it twisted: Prevost’s favorite punching bag is USA catholicism

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAAAJAJAJAJJAJAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAAAJAJAJAJJAJAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAAAJAJAJAJJAJAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAAAJAJAJAJJAJAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HABEMUS PAPAM FASCIST FUCKERS!

d’aaaaaaaaaaw TNT gave “championship rings” to Chuck, Kenny, Ernie, Shaq and the rest of the crew. they been at it for 21 years and have won 5(?) Emmies. well done.

@markwyner @kottke OMG THE LICENSE PLATE 😂

Prevost been supposedly in a cold war with USA’s bishops for getting in bed with MAGA nazis.

Turkson would further expand LGBTQI+ acceptance, esp. in Africa; where USA christofascists been pushing a homophobic agenda for decades. added bonus: he Black.

Pizaballa is in Jerusalem & pro Palestinian. Aveline is French and founded a Vatican backed science & theology institute. Czerny seems like the most liberal… and he’s Canadian.

the #conclave is a papal horserace

there has to be some explanation for the emptiness in the eyes of people in the Dark Tetrad. it’s uncanny that, no matter the amount of makeup or soft lighting or even pic retouching (like with Anthony Blinken) there’s just nothing there.

quaint.

just fucking drain the bank accounts of every billionaire, starting with the orange shitstain. cant redistribute it to every person alive? fine. just dump it all to the United Nations. for shits and giggles, transfer it all to the IRS.

we will die waiting for US Congress to tax them out of existence. and like Foxy Brown used to say, killing them is too easy.

to destroy the oligarchy, take away what they hide and cherish the most: their actual wealth.

don’t own a car, so i can’t imagine the hell i’d probably have to go thru to find and buy an un-enshittified one. i often think, if i were to buy a car without spyware and with the least amount of plastic parts, how old would it have to be? am guesstimating, at least 20 years old?

every single one of the countries Hollywood productions have moved to for “lower costs” has:

1. universal health care
2. unemployment benefits without means testing
3. mass transportation TO most metro areas where these movies are shot, not just IN the metro areas
4. fully funded national arts & sciences programs
5. robustly subsidized regional theater/film programs that develop talent
6. aggressive landmark preservation laws

this is amazing. does this guy work with OK GO? now am wondering what is it with Millennials and Rube Goldberg machines?

forget about #ICE #TSA #DHS #MAGA for a moment:

the last thing you want to happen is to end up in an American hospital because you had an accident or got food poisoning.

thanks to capitalism, many wont admit you if you don’t have the right CREDIT CARD.

NYC is the only place in USA that i know has a public hospital system for all, regardless of ability to pay.

so let a next of kin ―biological or by affidavit― know where you going, just in case. / 🧵

chez Liza we have quite a number of trans folks in our family and social circles, so am going to tell y’all chitlins what i’ve been telling them:

if you are traveling anywhere in #USA, don’t matter where, ALERT OTHER “NEXT OF KIN”, someone else you can trust with your dead name. and one of those people should be one of your transition health care providers.

IANAL BUT AM A BLACK WOMAN and have had TSA slash my bags for a bottle of my ADHD Rx and ICE question my citizenship thanks to GW Bush…🧵

KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC is the most important expansion of the #StarWars universe chez Liza

in 2003, THING1 was 6 years old and THING2 was 3. i was 2 years into homeschooling after 9/11 up-ended T1s entry to public school. so i used everything to get them to read.

so when they asked their dad to teach them how to play it, he did so with one caveat: they had to read back to him the prompts. boy, did that start the ball rolling. more in the alt…
