Springfield, Ohio is the hometown of historian of tyranny Timothy Snyder. Remember "They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats!"? The sequel to that is about to unfold. That Ohio's own (former) Senator J.D. Vance spread this propaganda about his constituents is particularly disgraceful.

"We Are Called for Such a Time as This" was the best mixing of religion and politics I've ever seen: Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez (NM3), Santa Fe's Catholic Archbishop John C. Wester, Roshi Joan Halifax. Acoma Pueblo elder Conroy Chino, and their host, Presbyterian Minister Andrew Black.
