"We’re in for another horrifying SCOTUS season, and we have Leonard Leo to thank: The Catholic billionaire extremist was instrumental in building today’s right-wing supermajority. Leo’s immense wealth and power supported the confirmations of Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. What do all these justices have in common?"

Overreach Weekly: The Supreme Court’s Catholic Supermajority

Pope Leo’s first teaching document put a little pep in my step this week.

"Like Leo, all are Catholic (or, in Gorsuch’s case, raised-Catholic). The upcoming SCOTUS season will put this court’s commitment to Christian nationalism to the test."

"It helps to understand MAGA as both a political movement and a cult. There is a wide swathe of followers and supporters, ranging from those who believe he is literally a messianic figure sent by God and others who consider him useful for their own purposes and projects."

Where It's All Heading: The Fascist Right Post-Trump

Watching parts of the Right grow weary of Trump might be hopeful, but without needed change the situation will only worsen

"They were primed for decades to believe the United States of America, as God’s chosen country, was under siege by demonic forces and, eventually, it would culminate in a great battle between Good and Evil. These acolytes filter everything about Trump through this lens, which has been helped by both Christian grifters and Trump himself."

"Then, there are others who see through Trump’s bullshit and recognize him as an idiot. But a useful idiot.

Within the confines of MAGA, these separate forces have made for uneasy allies."

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
