This is astonishing. Sounds incredible, and I think I truly absorbed the lyrics for the first time ever.

Evil is evil. It comes out of the sewer into the open every few generations, requiring courage and blood sacrifice from freedom-loving, law-abiding citizens to defeat it. What strikes me in this image is that the ICE gestapo fully recognizes its immorality, hiding behind masks to commit its murder.

In other words, the chickens have come home to roost for our fossil fuel addiction. China invested in the future while we built bigger F-150s and subsidized big oil. Getting our ass kicked in affordable EVs is just the beginning. We've relinquished leadership of the green economy, willingly.

Feeling deep gratitude for democratic, freedom-loving nations that recognize the threat of authoritarian regimes and are standing up to them. Those who hunger for moral leadership in the service of the people take hope and inspiration from the courage of allies.

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /

INBOX: Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is urging lawmakers to change the GOP-led “Big, Beautiful Bill” budget proposal, citing Pope Leo to argue that the bill “takes from the poor to give to the wealthy.” It’s the strongest language USCCB has used yet

"The bishops are grateful that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes provisions that promote the dignity of human life and support parental choice in education. These are commendable provisions that are important priorities for the bishops. Still, Congress must be consistent in protecting human life and dignity and make drastic changes to the bill to protect those most in need. As Pope Leo XIV recently stated, it is the responsibility of politicians to promote and protect the common good, including by working to overcome great wealth inequality. This bill does not answer this call. It takes from the poor to give to the wealthy. It provides tax breaks for some while undermining the social safety net for others through major cuts to nutrition assistance and Medicaid. It fails to protect families and children by promoting an enforcement-only approach to immigration and eroding access to legal protections. It harms God's creation and future generations through cuts to clean energy incentives and environmental programs.

Obvious, and yet I hadn't really seen it so clearly until Will spelled it out like this. Both Trump and Musk are desperate to be admired, but neither are admirable, so they extort people to make them subservient, and this forced subservience feeds their deranged egos.

Hey non-billionaire Trump voters, do you see the con now? He was never going after only the people you hate (immigrants, the disabled, trans people, the woke, experts, believers in fact, democracy, and the Constitution). He was always coming after you...your money, health, opportunity, and rights.
