wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

Call volumes are extremely high right now 💪 Lots of reports of phone lines being "unavailable"
IF you get an "unavailable" msg, try staying on the line a little bit longer. You might get sent to the voicemail box after that.
Or try a local office! Those #'s are also available on the apps/site. 👍📞🤓

Bombshell update in our case: The admin reveals DOGE accessed, shared, and may have even exported Americans' personal Social Security information to an external group despite a court order blocking it.
We will see them back in court.

Brett Kavanaugh must be so proud.
How much more in your face can it be?
"Why are you asking me for my paperwork?"
"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"
"Where were you born at?"
"Put your hands behind your back."

With Trump, we see American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain. American imperialism is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous.
I wrote this essay in March 2025 when Vance visited Greenland, and it is unfortunately still too relevant.

In 2026, we can’t take the easy path by giving in to despair. We have to keep doing something to be ready for the moment the right combination of events align and we can see a better future.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
