Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

People do not understand that almost everyone is teetering just on this side of making it. Not religious anymore but ‘But for the grace of God, there go I’ is very poignant. A layoff. An accident. An illness. BOOM, you’re in the very groups you’re denigrating

“Every act of compassion is an act of defiance. Every moment of empathy is a refusal to surrender. Every time we choose decency over cruelty, we reclaim a piece of our shared humanity. This is the fight of our time—not for power, but for the soul of our nation.” open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen displays of unfettered cruelty. Cruelty isn’t power. It’s a primal display of weakness and ignorance. Kindness and empathy are intelligence. We must never forget that.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
