My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

No religion, government or person is perfect.
Which is why the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, which GUARANTEES the right to practice ANY--or NO religion--is a watershed in world history.
If slavery was America's original sin, separation of church and state is its salvation.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer?
You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators.
So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

We face a clear and urgent choice this year. We can take back the House and put an end to Trump’s agenda, or we can give him two more years to govern by cruelty, division, and abuse of power. There is no middle ground, and no illusion about what’s at stake.

When will Republicans, veterans organizations, & retired military officers speak up about this? No president in the history of the Republic has done this. Yet Trump, Vance, & Hegseth do it constantly. It betrays the most important core value of our military-no partisan politics.
