As Trump's police state engulfs the nation, we’re gaining stronger unity against it and taking more responsibility for the well-being of each other. In the darkness of Trump, we’re finding the light of America.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Blistering opinion from Minn district court quashing the administration's subpoenas of Minn public officials up to Walz. Court finds 1) would violate the 10th Amendment's "anti-commandeering principle" by telling states what to do and 2) obviously political retaliation. I have a youtube coming soon.

Reminder: Elon Musk is worth nearly $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. See the problem here?
