And this! Laying it out. We already spend as much on the military as the next 9 countries combined! And they’re planning to spend yet more!

This makes an excellent point. We don’t have much if any chance of convincing the regime to change its ways! This is to change the country in ways that will make the regime irrelevant.

I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

NEW: Trump’s approval among Catholics falls to a historic low. A rising movement of Catholics, emboldened by Pope Leo, is turning against MAGA. With over 20,000 members, we are the fastest-growing Catholic group in America. To the MAGA purveyors of cruelty and lies — we will defeat you.

Under Pope Leo XIV, American Catholics Are Uniting to Defeat MAGA Authoritarianism
Trump’s support among U.S. Catholics has plummeted to an all-time low of 39%, a stark decline over the year. This is no accident. Under Leo XIV, we're working to defeat Trump-Vance authoritarianism.

There are three places Trump will try to rig the midterm election that we must be vigilant in defending: 1. Casting a Ballot 2. Counting the Ballots 3. Blocking Democrats who win House and Senate seats from having results certified--like Trump tried in key states after he lost 2020 election

John Trudell was the leader of AIM in the 70s. He and Russell Means and Vine Deloria are among those who helped me understand the reality of America. Deloria’s _God is Red_ is a great source of understanding of the world view that could be our salvation. If only we could have listened to these guys!

As we slide into this year, we need to make real connections with each other. Everything in society seems to be keeping us apart, and especially for us “blue dot” folks, it’s hard to find connections out there so we turn to virtual communities. There’s a lot of good info here, but … /2

Oh, Mia… You were a dreadfully frightened little girl, enduring the unimaginable. RFK Jr. must be stopped from even coming close to wielding power over our beloved, vulnerable children. Nothing about his thoughts, decisions, or actions can be trusted. Absolutely nothing.

A federal judge just blocked Kroger's $24.6B acquisition of Albertsons. Four corporations control 70% of retail grocery sales in America. Kroger and Albertsons are two of those corporations. Less competition means more opportunity to price gouge. This deal was a rotten egg.

A federal judge in Oregon blocked Kroger’s proposed $25 billion tie-up with Albertsons, ruling that the largest merger in US supermarket history would limit competition and harm consumers.

The Adjuster?? The NYPD detective said that Mangione seemed to have “ill will toward corporate America.” That may be a fairly common attitude these days. Maybe it’s a message from the cosmos or something. He’s not a hero, but he’s certainly given a lot of people something to relate to. 1/2
