We tend to treat the Beatitudes like inspirational slogans reserved for coffee mugs and cross-stitch samplers. But they aren’t sentimental, and they aren’t safe. They’re Jesus’ blueprint for a different way of being human in a world obsessed with powerand control.

If You Are Not Alarmed, You Aren't Paying Attention “The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over,’ We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many — 15 places.

Alex’s mother asked to talk with me before we left. She wanted to understand how she could stay close to her son and keep him safe while still allowing him the freedom to grow as he got older.

How the Supreme Court Broke Congress In the name of protecting the balance of powers, the Court is radically refashioning that balance.

A constitutional democracy cannot survive on judicial pronouncements alone. It requires institutions capable of translating popular commitments into lasting legal forms through deliberation and compromise. In other words, it needs a functioning Congress.

What if There Were No Cameras? What else is happening?

What else is happening that we are not seeing on camera? What else is going on at the hands of an organization that thrives on cruelty porn and is willing to execute American citizens in broad daylight? What are they doing when no one is watching?

The Anatomy of a State-Sponsored Murder Kill, smear, cover-up.

This is not America, we want to say. But it is: A government-sanctioned murder, followed by a cascade of lies and an attempted cover-up.

For those in maga who want to demonize alex pretti because he had a gun, remember how vehemently you argue for second amendment rights.

And also maga, do you remember this guy that your movement turned into a hero for carrying weapons into a protest and actually murdering someone?

Mac Randolph RIP Alex Pretti, he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad's final salut at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex' sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to "fight the good fight"

Text of the video posted by Mac Randolph “Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point.”

Ice is using fake search warrants issued by dhs. Only the courts can issue search warrants. Read to see the difference.

Two dynamics are fundamentally reshaping the structure and functioning of the American government. The first, which is quite well known, is Congress’s decline. The second, perhaps somewhat less appreciated but no less significant, is the Supreme Court’s ascent—

This Is the End Putinism abroad always morphs into Putinism at home. And we chose this path. Why? Because something-something the price of eggs.

We have seen empires fall and civilizations crumble. But we’ve almost never seen a people renounce their leadership of the world—all at once, in full public view.¹ That is what has happened in the 365 days since January 20, 2025.

If Putin had put an agent in the White House, what would he be doing differently?

So Trump is putting America’s money in Qatar, where courts can’t touch it. Kind of like a drug dealer stashing his funds in the Caymans.

The slogan on the podium is one the SS in nazi Germany used as justification for wiping out an entire Czech village.

ICE Is Expanding. People Are Dying. And the Government Is Demanding Silence. A federal enforcement agency is scaling up, killing civilians, and asking for immunity instead of accountability. This is what’s happening and what people need to know.
