In 25-Country Survey, Americans Especially Likely To View Fellow Citizens as Morally Bad Across 25 countries, Americans are the most likely to see the morality and ethics of people in their country as somewhat or very bad.

"The United States is the only place we surveyed where more adults (ages 18 and older) describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad (53%) than as good (47%)."

We Don’t Talk About Leonard: The Man Behind the Right’s Supreme Court Supermajority The inside story of how Leonard Leo built a machine that remade the American legal system — and what he plans to do next.

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office.

But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority.

This one weird trick could stop US women from voting | Arwa Mahdawi The Save Act – which would do the opposite of its title – could have a huge impact on the midterm elections

The GOP blames women for undermining them on issues like abortion & ICE & thus hopes to pass the “SAVE Act,” which will make it harder for married women who changed their last names to vote. But they want you to think it’s about “election integrity”. 1/31/26 #HandmaidsTale 1/

Ammon Bundy Is All Alone The anti-government militia leader can’t make sense of his allies’ support for ICE violence.

Ammon Bundy on ICE: “To call such people criminals for lacking official permission” to be in the country is to “forget the moral law of God, the historical truth of our own founding, and the Constitutional ideals that continue to define justice.”

The distortion and weaponization of Christianity by this administration is abhorrent.4/4

Ché "I promoted stochastic terror in the name of spiritual warfare but took a nap during the insurrection" Ahn, currently running for governor of CA
& AFPI sponsored Courage Tour speaker Jenzen "The LGB agenda is messing with the structure of our nation" Franklin, whose son also works for AFPI. 3/4

This image is part of a longer video Trump reposted on Truth Social. Surrounded by Christian nationalist/NAR pastors and apostles like:
Jenny "I take Ziklag money & use my MLM skills to convince you trans folks are demonic" Donnelly 2/4

Truth Social Video: "This is what you hoped for. This is what you prayed for. This is what you voted for. So why are you questioning every decision he makes now that he's back in office? God didn't save his life so he could make mistakes. He knows what he's doing." 1/4

Why won’t he go away?😕

Like clockwork- Sean Feucht is heading to Minneapolis next week. Re-using the “Riots to Revival” event title he used in Minneapolis in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd.
Bad news all round- this is the last thing MN needs right now’s

Literally half the country wants to abolish ICE and the Democrats are going to make them pinky swear not to deport U.S. citizens anymore

Doug Wilson’s Shadow Over Cities Church and the ICE Pastor Scandal The Connections the Media Missed

One thing under covered about the Cities Church protest is that one of the founders of the church is Joe Rigney - now Doug Wilson's righthand man. So, the pastor of the church is ICE; & the founder is one of Hegseth's clergy in DC.

Like in the 1840s when Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians all split over the issue of slavery, we have a choice today. Will we bless those oppressing our neighbors or will we side with justice? Will we serve the empire or get ICE out of our theology?

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

Leveraging Data Resources for Civic Organizing Pluralistic, democratic ideals are under direct threat from disinformation, authoritarianism, and polarization. While the scale of these challenges is global, thinking locally remains vital.

My new column examines how thinking locally—and leveraging free data resources for civic organizing—is one of the most effective avenues for responding to the current threats to democracy.

Observing ICE agents is 'a de-escalation tactic,' sociologist says The federal government has accused ICE watchers of breaking the law. Sociologist Nicole Bedera said ICE watchers have science behind them. She spoke with MPR News host Clay Masters.

Cities Church in Minnesota is considering legal options after anti-ICE protest (RNS) — Southern Baptist leaders say the protest was a violation of religious freedom and called on federal officials to protect churches.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.
