They keep walking. People keep showing up.
In a loud, punishing news cycle, a group of monks, a healing dog, and ordinary people across the country offer something quieter: care, restraint, and a reminder that peace still moves among us.

New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance.

How much extra are you paying for health insurance now? Senate Republicans are doing nothing about your rising healthcare costs — while pretending they have a right to run Venezuela and extract their resources. Is that what you voted for?

Scott Adams wasted precious time listening to a “coach” pushing ivermectin.
Now desperate for real help, Adams begged Trump to gain access to advanced treatment.

This is Pastor Michel Tshimankinda getting detained, brutalized & experiencing #ICELawlessness. They weren't looking for him—they were looking for someone else. They had no warrant, just brute force & if it can happen to him, it could happen to anyone.

In addition to Trump & the Republicans who made the policies & #ICELawlessness & thuggery, there are giant private prison companies engaging in this depravity.
