Vatican City
From: Katy
Australia
Do you think I can send the pope my book

I have rotted my brain with so much House Hunters that I've now seen the episodes where the Italian chef looks for houses to host both seasons one AND two of Ciao House
By adopting the Right’s framing and problem diagnosis on immigration, Democratic leaders have not merely been compromising on a policy issue, they have been lending legitimacy to the very core of the ethno-nationalist project - basically telling voters the Trumpists are kinda right, actually.
Good to see you here 🙏🐳
