Trump’s reckless war proves his Board of Peace is a farce | Jenice Armstrong Regardless of what you think about the joint U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran, the middle-school age girls killed by bombs were innocents. They didn’t deserve this, writes Jenice Armstrong.

Pope Leo’s pointed message to Catholics the day after the U.S. bombed Iran | Sabrina Vourvoulias Catholics seeking moral guidance need to listen to the pope's weekly address directly rather than rely on the interpretation of those who might alter the pope’s words for political convenience.

I’ve checked for updates in the case of Today Show Co-host Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother every day since she disappeared Feb. 1.

This is why Republicans want to pass the SAVE. They want to make it more difficult for certain folks to vote.

Jesse Jackson’s death during Black History Month magnifies an immense loss | Jenice Armstrong After the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s death, Jackson picked up the mantle of leading the civil rights movement. His passing — when Black history is under assault — seems to hit especially hard.

We lost a giant today. I have vivid memories of his presidential campaigns and I saw him at the 50th commemoration of the assassination of Dr.King. RIP and thank you Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. @jenicearmstrong.bsky.social shares her thoughts:

The Rev. Jesse Jackson was a man ahead of his time.

I think it’s fitting that the Rev. Jesse Jackson would die during Black History Month. Here I am interviewing Jackson in 2018 in Memphis near the balcony where Martin Luther King was assassinated. Credit: Frosty Photos.

The SAVE Act would be bad news for voters | Jenice Armstrong We need to oppose any roadblocks Republican politicians dream up to try and get between hardworking Americans and our constitutional right to cast a ballot.

Don’t get it twisted. The SAVE Act is about voter suppression. The end. www.inquirer.com/opinion/save...

Trump’s sharing of a racist video of the Obamas on Truth Social is beyond the pale, even for him | Jenice Armstrong Trump is a petty, vindictive man whose obsession with the Obamas goes way back. It began in 2011, when Trump deliberately started a campaign of lies about Obama.

I wish I could share the racist imagery Trump posted on Truth Social last night but yhe Inquirer has standards unlike the White House. www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

Here’s a way you can push back against Trump’s draconian anti-immigration tactics | Jenice Armstrong 60 CEOs from Minnesota’s largest businesses, including Target, Best Buy, and UnitedHealth, recently penned an open letter to President Trump calling for “an immediate de-escalation of tensions.”

@jenicearmstrong.bsky.social also called for a boycott last week! Let's do it!

The latest from the official White House troll account. Government by shitpost.

This is planned and coordinated messaging.

People need to fight to get Don Lemon released, the same way they did to get Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. #resist
