Hey folks:
Made it home tonight -- in time to weigh in with some WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.
It's beyond amazing that we're reliving tyrannical rule in the 250th anniversary of declaring our independence.

Entirely appropriate that anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis are singing a song from the anti-slavery movement in the 1840s.
MSP airport. Clergy risking risking arrest and a huge gathering of protesters. The song is, “Down to the River to Pray.”

When my students ask how we got here I say the laws are not self-executing. Our contract with our government only works when we elect people of good faith into office
Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

I was a single-issue voter, and that issue was water coming out of the sink. I do not regret my vote.
Q: What goals do you have for '26 in Congress for your agenda?
TRUMP: I have great executive orders. Like, water coming out of a sink. The water wouldn't come out. They had all sorts of restrictions. I took them off. Straws. They don't have to be paper anymore. I'd like to have all that confirmed.

Almost surely won't happen, but it should. History will remember that they have done nothing as Trump destroys NATO and Fed independence
With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.
