Human rights are under siege in the US. Vote like your country depends on it. Only humans can save this planet, and only by changing ourselves. We become what we practice; practice what you want to become.

A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.
given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT
Marxist-communists
from govern-
ment.

Thank you for sharing this, David. Standing up to this is hard, and as you know, a necessity if we are to keep this president from completely destroying democracy. Beyond distressing. Sometimes I think about what my future great-grandchildren will read in their history books, about this era.

I am so disappointed in the Virginia ACLU for posting this shallow report, which completely misses 1. All the bills Spanberger has signed, 2. Her intelligent reasons for vetoing certain bills, and 3. What she did instead, to protect VA from ICE. Reality check below www.acluva.org/press-releas...

Gov. Spanberger allows ICE to continue making arrests inside Virginia’s courthouses - ACLU of Virginia
“The governor’s actions today constitute a voluntary surrender to the Trump administration and its lawless anti-immigrant agenda," said ACLU-VA Policy Director Chris Kaiser.

World Resources International, U.S. Program, put out a response to Trump's withdrawal from UNFCCC, by David Widawsky, Director, WRI U.S. Full text in Alt text of news release screenshot, and in the next 6 slides of this thread. 1/7 @wriclimate.bsky.social
STATEMENT: The United States Withdraws from the UNFCCC 
January 7, 2026 
Statement

WASHINGTON, DC (January 7, 2026) - Today, President Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations and treaties, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 

The following statement is from David Widawsky, Director, WRI US: 

“Pulling out of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change is a strategic blunder that gives away American advantage for nothing in return. The 30-year-old agreement is the foundation of international climate cooperation. Walking away doesn’t just put America on the sidelines — it takes the U.S. out of the arena entirely. 

“American communities and businesses will lose economic ground as other countries capture the jobs, wealth, and trade created by the booming clean-energy economy. 

“Despite today’s action, global climate diplomacy will not falter. Other nations understand the UNFCCC’s irreplaceable role in driving cooperation and advancing climate solutions the world urgently needs. When countries work together on climate, it saves lives, creates jobs, strengthens economic stability, and builds a more prosperous future.”

LinkedIn has allowed the present, sitting president, to choose what goes up for the role of "President of the United States." That might make sense at first glance, but it means anyone who ever worked for POTUS now has a picture of this ijit. Including Barak Obama. Fix this, LinkedIn!

Unless I’ve missed something—and pls update if so—major news orgs seem profoundly uninterested in the death toll from the Venezuela raid. Nowhere to be found on MSM home pages. Local sources say 80 dead. Isn’t that worth pursuing, even if it’s just examining the credibility of the sourcing?
