This is excellent.
In what amounts to Mark Wolf’s resignation letter from the federal bench in Massachusetts forget more than 40 years—he was already a senior judge, so it creates no vacancy—he says he “intend[s] to advocate for the judges who cannot speak publicly for themselves.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

600,000 Hoosiers will wake up here in Indiana today, to do meal math. Seeing how many meals they can make before they have nothing.

That's 10% of the population here in Indiana.

Please give to your local food banks if you didn't wake up having to do meal math.

There is horrific cruelty behind decisions that harm blind and disabled persons, low-income persons, children, elderly living on next to nothing.

And yet, ICE thugs keep drawing a paycheck to persecute immigrants and citizens.

This is extrajudicial murder. It is illegal and unethical. And it is a pathetic use of American military force, demonstrating not strength but weakness.

Another illegal military strike on a boat — this time in the Pacific — broadening the Administration’s deadly campaign to another ocean.

Once again, there is no detail on who was killed or why.

The urgency increases: Congress must stop America from being dragged into another war.

This is what democracy looks like on #NOKINGS day in #Louisville on Frankfort Ave. People lined both sides of the street for blocks on end. Carrying signs of opposition to the policies pf the White House, Congress and the Supreme Court. Responding to hundreds of cars honking loudly in support.

#NoKings Thousands turned out in the Archdiocese of Louisville to demonstrate opposition to the policies of the administration. Crowd: easily 2 - 3 thousand participants. These six & at least 1 other Catholic priest witnessed against the evil being committed against the people by Trump and friends.

Marcia Willoubhy describes the pain and hurt she suffered when her son was sentenced to death. She died in 2023. Her son remains on death row in. The reference to the Nunns recalls that Steve Nunn, son of a former Ky governor, was convicted of murder, is serving a sentence of life without parole.
