Truth still matters. Democracy is still worth fighting for. Our children’s lives are still the compass by which all moral decisions are oriented.
And when all else fails, trees and art and birds and bikes and bacteria will carry us through.

Here is the playbook for resisting trumpism:
1. State facts.
2. State values. Say when things are wrong.
3. Tie it all back to trump.
4. Remember what their goal is: mass transfer of wealth from working Americans to the elites. From the 99.9% to the 0.1%. Solidifying oligarchy.
Details below.

This week, EPA finalized its repeal of the Endangerment Finding, the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas pollution under the Clean Air Act.
Without it, federal authority to limit climate pollution is significantly weakened, putting public health at greater risk.

Reminder: genocides sometimes begin with the plan to remove the targeted people to another place. But the underlying desire is to make people go away, so when removal to another place proves difficult, more lethal plans develop.

Portland Mayor Wilson, after the ICE gassing:

„To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave.“
I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

Column: We now know how much it cost to round up some 4,500 undocumented immigrants in Chicagoland last year. The figure is government excess at its greatest.
