This Pope is so "woke" that #MAGA believes they know more about the Catholic religion even though most MAGA people have never read their whole Bible.
Maybe it's time to do your research into the candidates before voting in the November 2026 #USA general election. Please vote for the #Democratic candidate.

Wow - the video in the previous post's article 👀😱
No wonder Trump et al. acted to defund #NPR & #PBS.
#ICYMI - A federal judge ruled earlier this year that #Trump's order violated the 1st Amendment & issued a permanent injunction that executive branch agencies can't enforce it.
Sadly, though, the damage was already done as Congress rescinded the entire #CPB budget for 2026 & 2027, and the CPB "voted to dissolve itself" in Jan 2026 😔

2 police officers ("subjected to some of the most brutal violence of the day") relive #Jan6 through their own bodycam footage ~
They were ~"inside a tunnel where police were outnumbered by rioters armed w/ flagpoles, stun guns, crutches, stolen police shields & chemical sprays."
They say "Trump's mass pardon of Jan. 6 rioters has exacerbated the trauma of that day."
Some officers "have (even) received death threats and been called 'crisis actors'"
😐
About Trump's blanket pardon for violent #Jan6 rioters at the US Capitol —
Then Deputy AG Blanche called it "evidence of the president’s commitment to his base" (😐) when speaking at last year's annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) conference.
"The audience included a slew of beneficiaries of that pardon, including Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was freed by #Trump from a 22-year sentence...related to his role in the riot."

Jan. 6 defendants are hopeful that the administration will look favorably on their claims.Kyle Cheney (POLITICO)
About that lawsuit —
"Aquilino Gonell, who retired from the Capitol Police after sustaining injuries on Jan. 6 said the litigation was 'shockingly unsurprising.'
"'It took them long enough since they have seen other insurrectionists being rewarded with government jobs, settlements and praises for their violent attempt to overthrow our democracy and elevating them as heroes and villains at the same time.'"

Perhaps some Proud Boy rioters will get some of Trump's slush fund money too...
They are suing the Capitol police for being "pelted with pepper balls and afflicted by chemical spray" while trying to force their way into the Capitol building with the angry, violent mob.

Michael Fanone accused Trump of offering a "buyout" to "violent criminals for committing violent crimes on his behalf" through his department's move.Ben Blanchet (HuffPost)
Acting AG #Blanche "doesn’t rule out considering payments for violent Jan. 6 rioters as he defends $1.8B fund"
...so I suppose that also means the "protestors" who attacked the Capitol police officers, since #Vance also didn't rule that out when recently asked (see the second link).
