As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?

The MAGA Bubble Is Imploding as Americans aren’t buying Trump's gaslighting about the economy. (His approval rating on pretty much everything else is in the sewer, too!) In a free and fair election, Trump loses control of the Congress. It's up to us to make it so.

Resistance works. If We The People lead, the party will follow.
"Zucman puts it more emphatically. “I think democracy versus oligarchy is going to be the battle of the 21st century,” he says. “I don’t know how long it’s going to take for the Democratic Party to actually understand that.”"
“When Citizens United was decided in 2010, billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 election, $13M 2004 and $16M in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 it was $231M, and nearly doubled again in next three election cycles —to $682M in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024.” Gift:

"The vote signals growing GOP discomfort with Trump's aggressive tariff strategy, and a willingness by some Republicans to buck the president after months of being in lockstep with the White House," Axios reported.
The vote marks first time the House has formally weighed in on Trump's trade agenda.

Former Norwegian Prime Minister and ex-Council of Europe Secretary General, Thorbjørn Jagland, is currently the subject of an official investigation related to his past contacts with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Maybe US prosecutors could take some notes.

Ring’s Super Bowl ad exposed a scary truth: the technology in its doorbell cameras could be used to hunt down a lost pet...or a person. Americans oppose this creepy surveillance state. Amazon must discontinue its dystopian monitoring features.

Best place for viewing "Abolish ICE" signs in Brookline is at the Saturday, 1pm Coolidge Corner standout. Bring a sign and bring a friend.
“Abolish ICE” was a rallying cry for progressives during Donald Trump’s first term. It is now so popular among the Democratic rank and file that some think the party will embrace it again
How Democrats aim to curb ICE without losing votes
Its brutal tactics are unpopular with Americans. But so is border insecurity

The last item taken up by Brookline's Select Board last night was an important policy proclamation relating to civil immigration enforcement. It passed unanimously with just two members of the public in attendance, i.e., the two Brookline PAX co-chairs.

The "violent criminal illegal alien" that agents were pursuing when they killed Alex Pretti has been in the U.S. for two decades. He had a single misdemeanor conviction for disorderly conduct (domestic assault) eight years ago that was expunged from his record. He did not have a deportation order.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.
Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined.

I hope to see libraries included in the list of “sensitive spaces”. Like other places in that list, libraries serve as a critical educational, civic, and cultural community resource and should be a safe place for every individual.
The governor said federal immigration actions are “making no one safer." Any legislation she files to bar agents from entering certain spaces would need buy-in from lawmakers.
