Philadelphia’s slavery exhibit is restored at President’s House Site β€œThis is the American people fighting back and saying we will not accept this,” said one Independence Mall visitor. β€œWill not allow history to be rewritten.”

The legal resistance is working. We will continue the fight to protect American history and science at all national parks sites.

Zelenskyy: Today, Sweden has announced its largest defense assistance package for Ukraine β€” nearly $1.4 billion. This will significantly strengthen our soldiers on the battlefield and help protect our skies from wicked Russian air attacks on critical infrastructure.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

Call volumes are extremely high right now πŸ’ͺ Lots of reports of phone lines being "unavailable"

IF you get an "unavailable" msg, try staying on the line a little bit longer. You might get sent to the voicemail box after that.

Or try a local office! Those #'s are also available on the apps/site. πŸ‘πŸ“žπŸ€“

The Imperialism Has no Clothes JD Vance in Greenland

With Trump, we see American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain. American imperialism is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous.
I wrote this essay in March 2025 when Vance visited Greenland, and it is unfortunately still too relevant.

In 2026, we can’t take the easy path by giving in to despair. We have to keep doing something to be ready for the moment the right combination of events align and we can see a better future.

Portland faith leaders hold Blue Christmas vigil outside ICE facility Over 75 clergy and congregants gathered to support detained immigrants and acknowledge community grief during the holiday season.

"Organizers hoped the event would show congregants it’s OK to be near the ICE facility, to stand alongside protestors and bear witness. For many of the vigil attendees, the service was their first time at the facility during active protesting..."

Trump Has a Recipe for War and Corruption, Not Peace Who would benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
