Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

Pope Sends Deputy to Lecture Vance on Compassion at Vatican Vance had an “an exchange of opinions” with Cardinal Pietro Parolin that touched on migration, the Vatican said.

"Pope Francis skipped the Vatican’s official meeting with Vice President JD Vance Saturday, instead having his No. 2 give the vice president a lecture on compassion, according to a Vatican statement."

Veterans Organizing 'Call to Action' Rally on D-Day Anniversary in Nation's Capital The march, touted as a non-partisan, pro-veterans employment and benefits protection rally, is expected to draw veterans, advocacy organizations, musical groups and some celebrities.

On June 6 veterans will march in DC to demonstrate that our oaths to the Constitution still hold. This is not partisan; it’s about service, particularly the essential work of veterans in the government and those who care for them. Unite4veterans.org

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

From Lollapalooza to Detention Camps: Meet the Tent Company Making a Fortune Off Trump’s Deportation Plans The privately held company Deployed Resources has made billions running tent detention facilities to hold immigrants entering the U.S. at the border. Now it is cashing in again on Trump’s plan to…

One little-known company has made billions running detention camps for asylum-seekers at the border.

It's now repurposing its tents to hold some of the thousands of people arrested by ICE and facing deportation.

‘One million.’ The private goal driving Trump’s push for mass deportations. Immigration officers and analysts are increasingly skeptical the Trump administration can deport that many immigrants in a single year.

Big numbers like this lead to local quotas and the desire to fill them which leads to haste and abuse and lawlessness and terror.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

🚨 April 19 is happening — and it’s more than just a protest.

Yes, people will be in the streets again. Others will be organizing food drives, volunteering at shelters, hosting teach-ins, and finding other creative ways to show up for their communities and push back against this administration.

Just saying 🤷‍♂️

We’re fed up with Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoing common-sense gun safety laws that would help protect us from gun violence. We need a governor who will prioritize our safety, not the gun lobby’s bottom line, and Abigail Spanberger will be that governor‼️

U.S. Peace Corps says Musk's DOGE has arrived at its HQ Members of Elon Musk's cost-cutting team arrived at Peace Corps headquarters in Washington, the agency told Reuters, a signal it could become the latest U.S. government agency to face job cuts.

Peace Corps is a voluntary national service organization. Volunteers. Volunteers. They get paid in local currency amounts based on local economies. It averages about $50 a month. There is no “savings” in eliminating this agency. DO NOT LET THEM TAKE PC. It’s the best of us.

This.
