At last, someone is fundraising for a US Senate seat on solidarity with the Pope. Very good.

A text message that reads:
Donald Trump launched VILE attacks against Pope Leo XIV. If you stand with the Pope against MAGA viciousness, add your name here:

James Baldwin doesn't miss

We are controlled here by our confusion, far more than we know, and the American dream has therefore become something much more closely resembling a nightmare, on the private, domestic, and international levels. Privately, we cannot stand our lives and dare not examine them; domestically, we take no responsibility for (and no pride in) what goes on in our country; and, internationally, for many millions of people, we are an unmitigated disaster.
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time, 1963

There are a lot of reasons to hate SMS fundraising. Today I am struck by the stupidity. *If* there is a letter, will it do anything? It's not a political exercise. Would it, conceivably, be comforting to Colbert? Does he not know that people like his show? Is that the premise?
