The sacred American spaces desecrated by the American president The American faithful must find their voice if the divine American idea is to survive

There is no current writer whose wisdom and insight I respect more than @mollymckew.bsky.socialโ€™s. This piece beautifully sums up where we are, what we face, and how we shall prevail, and it has left me in tears:

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Appeals Court Allows DOGE Access to Sensitive Data at Several Agencies

Trump accepted a $400M luxury jet from Qatar.

But for Trump to use the plane, it has to be secure.

What will it cost to modify and take the plane apart? At least $1 BILLION from taxpayers.

Trumpโ€™s hiding that by using funds from one of our nuclear programs.

Iโ€™m pushing back.

Polarization is Trump's super power. It is how he has accrued power since 2017. It is what he has built undying loyalty on.

Anyone who ignores that is not proposing solutions.

Hell, the notion we should retain two poles is part of the problem.

New Zealand woman and six-year-old son detained for three weeks by Ice in US enduring โ€˜terrifyingโ€™ ordeal Sarah Shaw, who has a US visa and lives in Washington state, was detained after attempting to re-enter US from Canada

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

(I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?)
