While millions of Americans aspire to vote Trump out of office, one election at a time.
Since the days of World War I, America was the country that resisted conquest, standing up to Hitler’s Germany, Tojo’s Japan and Stalin’s Soviet Union when they seized foreign terrain. Now Trump aspires to put America into the category of conquerors. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

Since Trump’s emotional instability is the GOP’s only foundation, maybe republican lawmakers who want to govern with principles instead manic narcissism could splinter off to establish a serious political party.

It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket.
He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.
