In May, the horrific mass shooting in Isla Vista, CA, triggered national conversations about violent misogyny.

In Pittsburgh, Memphis and Los Angeles, massive billboards recently popped up declaring, “Birds Aren’t Real.”

An A.I. generated video of Donald Trump sucking Elon Musk's toes was broadcast at the Department of Housing and Development headquarters in DC in February of 2025.

These Nuns mean business!
Like most Nuns, the Sister's of St. Francis in Philadelphia fight for causes in social justice, from fighting for farm worker's rights to battling McDonald's over childhood obesity.
However, these nuns have recently taken it to a new level by "using the investments in their retirement fund to become Wall Street’s moral minority."
