The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

We had a deal with Iran to ensure limits on its nuclear capacities. Trump ended that deal. Now he says that sending our young people off to fight and potentially lose their lives for this country is just a β€˜cost of war.’ This is the cost of his broken promises. No war with Iran.

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

For the past five months, I've been doing a research fellowship studying how democracies beat elected authoritarians like Trump.

I found a deceptively simple answer: if you want to save democracy, you have to *actually talk about democracy*.

Being an artist has never been an easy path, but the current level of conflict, fear, & hate in the world makes it incredibly difficult to create images that inspire hope, love, & healing.

Hegseth invited Christian nationalist Doug Wilson to preach at Pentagon The self-described β€œpaleo-Confederate” has argued that wives should submit to their husbands, women should be denied the vote and Christian enslavers were on β€œfirm scriptural ground.”

the incompetent drunken adulterous defense secretary is so depraved that he hosted at the Pentagon a pro-slavery anti-Catholic anti-Muslim bigot who thinks women shouldn't be allowed to vote

Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a β€œconfidence score” on the person’s current address. @josephcox.bsky.social breaks it down.

That asshole opened up his demented mouth in Davos,

and Europe immediately cut off the trade deal.

This is what it looks like to have a Russian asset hold the U.S. presidency.

Fuck everyone who voted for this.

β€œWe know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy… The powerful have their power. But we have something, too: the capacity to stop pretending.”

US citizen says ICE removed him from his Minnesota home in his underwear after warrantless search Federal immigration agents have detained a U.S. citizen in Minnesota at gunpoint without a warrant. That's according to ChongLy β€œScott” Thao, who says agents forced open his door, entered with guns drawn and led him outside in his underwear in freezing conditions.

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE

NEVER FORGET: Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸

From Senator Chris McDaniel: β€œLately, some folks have taken to calling ICE β€œthe Gestapo.”  It sounds fierce.  It feels righteous.  But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless.

The Gestapo was a secret police force.  No warrants.  No courts.  No lawyers.  And no appeals.  People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything.  The knock on the door was the sentence.

ICE isn’t that.  Not even close.

ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials.  Its agents file reports.  They seek warrants.  They lose cases.  Judges stop them.  Lawyers challenge them.  Some detainees go home.  That’s not tyranny.  That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse.

You can hate immigration policy.  You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad.  You can work to have the law changed if you wish.  That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do.  

But when you call ordinary law enforcement β€œthe Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil.  You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor.  And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize.

In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight.  This one hasn't yet.  It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses.

That difference matters.

Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history.  We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with.

And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemyβ€”they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.

At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

In SC, 16-year-olds can get married. A bill would allow only adults to wed. β€’ SC Daily Gazette Marriage under the age of 18 can lead to lifelong harms, says an advocacy group pushing for nationwide reforms

In SC, 16-year-olds can get married. A bill would allow only adults to wed.

Dem. Sen. Hutto has been filing the bill since 2019. Republicans in charge won't give the bill a hearing, keeping it legal to take a child bride.

Says a lot about SC Republicans.🀒

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.
