No doubt this very important story will get lost in the noise of the news cycle. Another key aspect of democracy is at risk. Take note:

A fired immigration judge says she was dismissed from her job because of her gender, her status as a dual citizen of Lebanon, and the fact that she once ran for municipal office in Ohio as a Democrat.

Why Paul McCartney’s 'Wonderful Christmastime' gets so much hate www.npr.org/2025/12/01/n...
Is Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmastime' simply… horrible?
In the decades since its release, "Wonderful Christmastime" has become a seasonal staple beloved by some but loathed by others.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

So I got to attend a Q&A with Tom Morello (guitar legend of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE fame), and from him I heard a very smart creative lesson, applicable to more than just musicians -- thought I'd share it, and some further thoughts and stories here:
A Very Good Piece Of Creative Advice From Tom Morello

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.
Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.
This is dangerous & disappointing.

Trump’s social media posts about killing congressional representatives for just stating US law is reason enough to impeach. Even if he walked it back.
I also expect every Republican to rebuke this language that incites citizens to violence (like they all screamed about recently)
