Only three sightings east of the Anacostia. I guess Trump doesn’t care if there’s crime and “filth” in neighborhoods that are poor and mostly Black.

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language. But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax. Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money. As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.

powerful detailed account of ICE captivity "To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

theguardian.com

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

open.substack.com/pub/michaelp... Really great explanation of how we’re currently in a period similar to the time when there was backlash to Reconstruction and the South set up Jim Crow and the KKK was empowered to terrorize Blacks.

The accelerating MAGA assault on democratic freedoms echoes America’s first “Redemption,” a backlash to Reconstruction after the Civil War. Understanding the historical parallels—long marches for free...

dansinker.com/posts/2025-0... Great article about how the KKK was brought to its knees, in part, thanks to a fearless journalist. Also, the book Fever in the Heartland is an excellent deeper dive into this.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.
