Opinion: Black History Month’s reminder of empty promises
A century after the start of Black History Month and five years after the murder of George Floyd, the gap between performative promises and real justice is harder to ignore.

This is metastasizing faster than the Republicans can come up with a semi-lucid response.
It's moving even faster in Europe.

Roper: How Minnesota’s civic culture fueled a tough ICE resistance and took the feds by surprise
It’s not pleasant for people to go toe-to-toe with the federal government. But in this case, it’s very Minnesotan.
"The federal cowboys who flooded Minnesota streets actually ran headfirst into the state’s formidable civil society — a network of civically engaged people and organizations that makes this a risky place for the federal government to pick a fight with its own citizens," writes columnist Eric Roper

I hope our Olympic athletes are ready to be booed mercifully in Italy starting on Friday. I think the fans there will hate on our athletes even worse than the Russians. Every time they take the podium and our national anthem is played we’re gonna hear what the rest of the world thinks of us now.

Catholics must decide if they serve Donald Trump or the Gospel
Jesus famously proclaimed, "No one can serve two masters." As the country continues to reel from the shooting of Alex Pretti, Catholics are making it clear who they are choosing to serve. It isn't alw...
So MAGA: any Catholics left among you?
Jesus said "No one can serve two masters."
As our nation reels from the murders of Renee Good & Alex Pretti, Catholics are making it clear whom they choose to serve. It's not always Jesus, says digital editor John Grosso.
Well?

ICE is weaponizing vehicles - ramming cars and attacking people who pose no threat.
The danger in our communities is ICE. Full stop.
They’re shooting people and using cars as weapons.
Call your Senators: DO NOT FUND ICE.
We refuse to live in a police state.

Trump has significantly more mentions in the Epstein files compared to Clinton, with over 38,000 references for Trump. If anyone should testify in front of the committee it should be Trump. But we know: 1) he’ll never be honest and 2) the Republicans don’t have the spine to do it. 🔄

Trump accused of ‘corruption, plain and simple’ after UAE invested in family firm
White House says president is not involved in running his businesses. Ethics experts remain concerned
Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.
And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption
