Not all are called to be martyrs like Alex Pretti. But we can be witnesses. (RNS) β€” People of faith are being called to view politics through the lens of faith, not the other way around.

I’m sick of MSM using the term β€œself-deportation.”

There is no such thing as β€œself-deportation.”

There is β€œfleeing persecution.”

There is β€œbeing driven from one’s home.”

There is β€œescaping with one’s life.”

But there is no β€œself-deportation.”

Language counts.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The Republican party is selling this country for parts to anti-democratic regimes (like the current one here) so that a decrepit, shriveled orange dictator wanna-be can suck up more money and stay in power.

Make no mistake: THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

They could stop it tomorrow.

Against smoke and rubber bullets
In the dawn's early light

Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night

And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood

And two dead, left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good

Let me know if you agree with my analysis. I've unfortunately spent too many years researching Miller, white nationalists, and his ideological infrastructure of hate. Also, you know, I pay attention to what Trump actually does and take him literally and seriously.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless….

Remember this.

The Purged Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation.

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply.

Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.
