A Baker, a Pastor, and Charlotte’s Stand Against ICE
How everyday people are reminding the nation what it means to be American.
“After Aceituno again told the agents he was a U.S. citizen, they finally threw him out of the van…[And] the agents had taken his car keys.
(Aceituno voted for Trump in 2024 because of the border and the economy. He now calls it ‘the worst decision of my life.’)”

Someone is buying up American starter homes and pricing you out. But it’s not who you’ve been told. #EconSky #Housing #PolSky #RonanFarrow

The left has a problem with political violence. Anyway, here’s the President of the United States saying his political opponents should be executed.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Don't be distracted by the chaos. Trump’s 2nd term agenda will be more calculated than his 1st.
He's following the playbook of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to crush democracy, silence dissent & entrench his own power.
Those who lived it say there’s a window to act now. Here’s how we fight back. ⬇️

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.
VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

The OTHER Democratic Demand for Reopening the Government
It’s about stopping Donald Trump and Russ Vought—and it can’t happen soon enough.
"Those who study the law and are experts on the balance of power warn that unless Congress reasserts its authority soon, we may end up unable to repair the guardrails that have held our government together for centuries."

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive
And do it often.
