Going to church this morning. And in the Anglican tradition praying that prayers transform hearts and active hearts lead to justice.

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Walz: "You kill a man, and then you just leave? You're law enforcement -- you just leave? Is there a single case in American history where you just, like, walk away and say, 'I guess that just happened and we're not gonna clean up our mess?'"

This is not materially different from Josef Mengele. The concept is to deliberately expose people to serious harm so you can gather more data on what you already know will hurt them. It's not some big coincidence the Nuremberg Code expressly prohibits everything resembling this kind of "science."
RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

For folks in Maine. Folks at risk of being targeted are being advised to stay off the streets. This includes Black, Brown, and immigrant folks.

The ICE activity is truly all over the Greater Portland area.

ICE agents in Minnesota have detained at least four children from the same school district this month, including a 5-year-old boy.

School officials accused ICE officers of using the 5-year-old “as bait” to lure his father out of the house.

The next president, like it or not, is going to have to run on democracy reform and cost of living. Get used to it.
REPUBLICAN Rep. Don Bacon: “There’s been grave damage done with our European allies. It’s going to take the next president to spend a lot of time trying to fix the relationship… our allies in Europe don’t think we’re dependable — and that’s a shame.”

I just want to remind people in a democracy movement - you CANNOT say to people who defect "too little too late." The success of a non-violent resolution to authoritarian shift hinges on the democratic side to welcome back defectors.
yes, there is functionality to scale by population/density

This is nice work by Elliott. Note too that the only demographic group in which Trump has majority support is white non-college-educated respondents, and there he is just barely holding on. There is no electoral downside to opposing authoritarianism.

A majority of voters said that Mr. Trump had focused on the wrong priorities and that they disapproved of his handling of top issues, but the president still enjoys strong support from Republicans.

In 2018, the tipping point on Trump’s child separation was the recording of that little girl trying to get back to her family as other kids sobbed around her. This should be a similar one. Kidnapping a 5-year-old to use as bait to catch his family is truly sick, neo-Nazi stuff.
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

Okay, question:

Assuming that you have to pick a new leader from an existing Senate Dem (so you've got 44 non-Chuck options)

Who would you vote for as the new Senate Minority Leader, if it was up to you? Genuinely curious
