Absolutely crucial point here by Greg Sargent. When we don’t call propaganda what it is, we co-produce it, and hasten disaster.

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

🚨 #SocialSecurity is on the chopping block. Thanks to Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” retirees are now staring down $18,000-a-year benefit cut in just seven years. Seniors who paid in their whole lives are left holding the bag.
– $13,600 cut for a typical retired couple.

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
