As Buddhists and friends of the Dharma, we are called to see clearly, speak truthfully, act compassionately, and reduce suffering wherever we can. Voting is one expression of that responsibility. Read our new Call to Action for Elections here: www.buddhistcoalitionfordemocracy.org/call-to-acti...

This remarkable fact caught my eye in a piece that I don't otherwise agree with "One remarkable fact is that today.. customs officers and Border Patrol agents have committed crimes at a per capita rate that is greater than the crime rate for people who immigrated here illegally" tinyurl.com/2bkkc22b

From me: normally, regular transfers of power create incentives to not abuse power or seize power you don't want the other party to wield next. But if you abuse power too much, or accumulate too much power, it creates a perverse incentive to go even further: you can no longer afford to hand it over.

Has the Trump Administration Crossed the Rubicon When Lawlessness Makes Lawful Transition Impossible?

It may have reached a point when its only option for avoiding accountability would be keeping Democrats out of power

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption:

On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm
I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.

Trump's Game Plan: Invoke the insurrection act and make an example of Minneapolis to intimidate other cities. End goal: Message to base: "Immigrants are the reason your lives are unsatisfactory, and I am delivering on my promise to make your lives better." Classic fascist playbook, n'est-ce pas?

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Mamdani's inauguration ceremony brought be joy! What a beautiful event from start to finish. Similar to the vibes I felt at JFK's and Obama's inaugurations. Vibes in the end don't amount to much—let's see what the new administration can actually deliver—but what a hopeful way to start the new year!

If it’s going to air later with just some extra interviews why is it necessary to take down all the promos? (rhetorical question)

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

News Team,
Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier.
I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.
We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed
to kill the story.
If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we

have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient.
If the standard for airing a story becomes
"the government must agree to be
interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast.
We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.
These men risked their lives to speak with us.
We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their
stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.
CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.

We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it.
When it fails to air without a credible
explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet.
I care too much about this broadcast to watch
it be dismantled without a fight.
Sharyn
