In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today:
Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

This doesn't get enough attention...
The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Holy fuck - reshare this widely to make sure everyone sees these ICE atrocities.
I am in shock and my heart is racing after watching this video. This cannot -- and should not -- be real, yet it is. (WARNING this video is very disturbing)
NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

There are SO many embarrassments. But yeah this probably tops them.
The is the biggest national embarrassment in American history.
Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."

Impeachment NOW
The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

The US is done.
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

We can't keep quiet even where we are exhausted.
I understand exhaustion. I understand cynicism. But saying “I don’t do politics” is still a choice and it’s a choice with consequences for everyone else!
Democracy asks something of us, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially then. Because the cost of disengagement is paid by the most vulnerable.

Horrifying. Native tribes should be treated with the utmost respect.
Tribes have been here longer than any of us, they are quite literally the opposite of immigrants.
Tribal leaders are still unable to locate their missing members.
