The reports coming out of Minnesota of the brutality of ICE terror are harrowing. What's clear to me, however, is that the people are rising up to resist this violence head on. Resistance is everywhere. We may be on our own, but we are not alone.

Blessed are the whistle blowers
Resistance to the ongoing brutality is everywhere. One need only step outside to find it.

A bit of SCOTUS history I didn’t know. The Court held its first Christmas party in 1946 (a segregated event). When the following year, law clerks proposed inviting the Court’s Black employees, the Court stopped having Christmas parties for 12 years.

The Alarmingly Racist History of the Supreme Court’s Canceled 1947 Christmas Party
The Court held its first-ever office Christmas party in 1946. The following year, the clerks suggested inviting Black employees. It did not go over well.

Republicans gave $132 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% in 2027.
With that money, we could have extended ACA tax credits for over 20 million people next year and still have $100 billion left over.
