Love this letter from hometown heroes here in Chicago.
“.. we want you to know that what’s happening here is not normal. .. It is not law enforcement; it is terror.
“.. It’s eroding all of our rights and should be a warning to other cities that find themselves enveloped in an ICE storm.”

The kingdom of God is like…
In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally
In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally
Solar and wind power aren’t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore – they’re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025. That shift led to a drop in both coal and gas generation compared to the same period last year. For the first time ever, renewables generated more power than coal globally.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*
Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!
Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
