Why isn't every Dem social media feed in the country elevating Budde's call-out of Trump right now?
Bishop Mariann Budde's extraordinary sermon calling out Trump also gives Dems language to highlight his coming immigration horrors. Its impact shows there's still a way to reach people's decency and humanity.

BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.

a) Telling the truth,
b) In real danger of persecution, and yet
c) Still denied asylum on legal technicalities?
That's the bombshell finding of a landmark new study. bclawreview.bc.edu/articles/317...

1/ Astra Taylor’s take is a good meditation on US Thanksgiving Day: “Solidarity is the only thing that can save us. If you look back at history, solidarity has propelled essentially all social progress that we now celebrate or take for granted. And it is what we need to move forward.”
