“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it,” MLK wrote. “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

Congratulations, MAGAs, you’ve thoroughly and completely owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, affordable groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing.

Congratulations, Trump Supporters, You've Owned the Libs
Well, Trump Supporters, as a member of the woke, radical Left, it kills me to say this, but you win.

MAGA if your politics make you justify cruelty or debate a victim's worth, you've lost your humanity. This is why I refuse to break bread with those who celebrate suffering or lack empathy.

Minnesota is more than what you see on TV.

We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors.

I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do.

Troops told to prep for Minnesota as Trump hints at the Insurrection Act. Noem clashes with facts on TV. ICE violence exposed. GOP doubles down. Allies revolt over Greenland threats. Rogan breaks ranks. And more. The weekend news bulletin just dropped. No paywall. Catch up now:
This Weekend in Politics, Bulletin 288.
… WaPo: “The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota after Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to unrest there.

Published 250 years ago, “Common Sense” is perhaps the most consequential piece of political writing in American history—and to revisit it “is to be reminded of the most expansive possibilities of the American idea at its creation,” Jake Lundberg writes.
The Provocation That Helped Create America
Common Sense was subversive in 1776. Maybe its ideas are what we need now.

WHEN I left the gym at Onelife Fitness Commerce a bit ago, I’d joined in the Open House wheel spin trial—I was the ONLY person who’d done a COMBO, Squats & Burpees. Each trial is 60 seconds. I’s representing the over 60 crowd! (I was full after lunch. And that’s after yard work awhile this AM.) 😎😳😂

I keep being surprised by finding yet another someone who loves this poem by Wendell Berry—it long ago became the favorite of both my wife & me. It’s all about perspective. And keeping perspective in these trying times is crucial….
