Irony is Dead: Papal Version [1]

['Old Enough', 'View Profile', 'Greg Dworkin']

Date: 2026-04-16  

Many right wing Congress critters seem to be telling the pope to stay out of politics and to keep to his own “lane”, shepherding his flock. But isn’t this the same as a demand for separation of church and state? Moreover, the pope is undeniably Christian and those same critters and their allies seem to want to impose “Christian values” on all Americans. This has me confused, and more than a bit confused.

Daily Kos relies on small donations to make ends meet

Ad revenue can't support Daily Kos operations—and it hasn't been able to for more than a decade. Digital ad revenue has declined everywhere, especially for news organizations for whom it was once their lifeblood. Companies are spending less money on ads, and Amazon, Facebook and Google are gobbling up an ever-greater share of what remains. This has left almost nothing for places like Daily Kos. The only reason we've been able to survive is because of the support of readers like you. That's why we're asking: Can you take one minute right now to donate $5 or more to Daily Kos? It would mean so much to us.
