“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” (a loose translation of commentary on the Pirke Avot.)

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?”

@aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

The Founders counted on Congress being interested in protecting its own powers vis a vis the executive. They certainly didn't foresee a speaker like Mike Johnson. www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

This is a page with "NO KINGS" to the right of the symbol for the No Kings protests - a drawing of a crown with the use of a simple heavy black outline forming the base & then upwards to form the sides & the left & right points of the crown before coming down towards each other & then back up again to form a center point - the inside is colored gold - and two heavy red lines cross each other over the crown forming a "X".

The title "Top 10 Rally Reminders" heads two columns of five boxes where every other one is either red or blue and constrains texts that reads:

Lead with Love, Not Anger.
Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades; compassion lasts.

Smile & Greet Others.
Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust & lower tension.

Lift Your Voice with Positivity.
Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels.

Make Your Sign Speak Peace.
Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity.

Model Nonviolence in Every Action.
If confronted, breathe, stay calm, & step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest.

Look Out for One Another.
Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, & people with mobility needs.

Celebrate Families and Kids.
Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, & invite children to join in with chants & songs-joyful ways to express civic pride.

Keep It Clean and Respectful.
Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace.

Be Mindful of Words & Tone.
Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others.

Carry Joy Beyond the Rally.
After the event, share stories, photos, & reflections that highlight unity & courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

Some unsubstantiated nonsense from POTUS.

—Claims "couple of days with no boats to be found." US struck a boat *yesterday.* (Perhaps Trump didn't write yesterday's post announcing the strike...)

—Claims each boat is killing 25,000 Americans. Boats not carrying fentanyl. Don't appear headed for US.

Unlike Venezuela, which has been treated as a rogue state by multiple US administrations, Colombia has been the US’s closest ally in Latin America in terms of security and counternarcotics for decades. This is a big deal. It gives countries little incentive to partner with the US.
