What's happening in America in the 2020s has strong parallels to what happened in the 1920s. This is an important read.

If you have chosen some pastor or politician preaching hate and bigotry over your family and friends, it might be time to search your heart again… 😢

Yesterday’s 2nd Breakfast should be read by every school board in the country, the desire to provide certainty has replaced almost all impulse to build cultures of responsiveness. AI and scripted curriculum can’t respond because they can’t think

the government should not be able to smash into your home and drag you into the street for no reason. it's kind of a core civil right, perhaps THE core civil right.

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").

Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.

Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.

“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

1. Today, 95 Democrats voted to "honor the legacy" of Charlie Kirk, calling him a "model for young Americans."

Kirk was notable for practicing anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans extremism, racism, and violent rhetoric.

Among the yes votes was Trans Rep. Sarah McBride.
