Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

I was having a nice morning on Saturday and minding my business when someone in my life sent me an email telling me that I didn’t have the courage to read Buck Sexton’s forthcoming book Manufacturing Delusion: How the Left Uses Brainwashing, Indoctrination, and Propaganda Against You.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

I agree. The narrative explanation for declining trust has become ‘political polarisation’ rather than ‘lying is now the norm’ which massively limits opportunities for adaptation and resilience to manipulation.

Good analysis from @gelliottmorris.com -- it is widely assumed that groups who drifted right in 2024 are irredeemable, must be scorned and abandoned, will never come back from the grips of their MAGA infatuation.
Most of them voted Dem on Tuesday.

Claims of a conservative realignment of non-whites, the working class, and young voters have been highly exaggerated
