Our division emboldens adversaries and creates opportunities for exploitation. Russia’s decision to position Iskander ballistic missile launchers directly on public roads near the Polish border is, according to Defence Blog, “an escalation in both rhetoric and battlefield preparation.”
Our Democracy Is Not Stronger Than Our Divisions
A sobering, spot-on assessment of the collapse of our civil discourse and its destructive consequences at home and abroad. An excellent read.

The Trump administration moved to roll back the 2001 Roadless Rule, opening 58M acres of protected forest—including Alaska’s Tongass—to logging, roads, and development. The change threatens critical habitat for species like the rare Alexander Archipelago wolf.

This is out of hand! They are literally targeting the ones they can control to put a system in place to control the rest of us. We can stop this by standing up, speaking up, supporting those who are standing up (Newsome, Padilla, pritzker)reposting their posts. Writing and calling our reps.

So far at least 2 preemptive deployments of National guard by state governors. Missouri and yesterday Abbott in Texas. Small protests have occurred in Texas in response to LA. These preemptive deployments are obviously so guard is in place for Saturday! Stay safe everyone!
