"While the Catholic bishops may be showing signs of ambivalence, there are signs that Americans overall are sympathetic to these churches who are taking a stand. This week, PRRI released new analysis of American attitudes on immigration reform that show Americans are rejecting Trump’s dehumanizing, racist rhetoric and harsh immigration policies."

Robert P. Jones notes that though the US Catholic bishops have issued a rare statement condemning Trump's attacks on Immigrants, the archdiocese of Boston has leaned on a Catholic parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, to take down its Christmas creche, which indicts ICE for cruelty to immigrants.

"One key difference between 1930s Germany and 2020s USA is that 1930s Germany didn't have 90 years of books, movies, and documentaries warning it about 1930s Germany."

"Fox news is kind of a paranoia fear rollercoaster for folks who a lot of them are near the end of their life. They're seniors. They've been retired for years and years and they sit down, they turn it on. And it's this, kind of constant they're coming for you and we'll save you and don't worry."

"We find those Americans who are the strongest adherents to that ideology, about one in 10 Americans, really look very distinct on immigration policy. They're, I think, the most draconian in their views about immigration."

"I think, for me, the biggest takeaway from the [PRRI] survey is that the Trump administration's second term immigration agenda is mobilizing his base, particularly white evangelical Protestants and Christian nationalists, but it's really alienating a lot of other Americans across the board."

"No foreign entrepreneur or high-skilled immigrant student will look at the US with the sense of safety, security, and opportunity that they did before January 20th. Once-secure research positions at labs, universities, and medical centers will never feel as sure-a-thing as they did."

"We now recognize and confront strains of our neighbors — especially racism and misogyny — in a way more naked and violent than most of us had believed possible in the 21st century. Decades of progress in welcoming trans people and people with disabilities and different learning styles into American life have been unwound; decades of hard-fought progress by Blacks and women in the military and government have been undone."
"Even if Trumpism fails, America is fundamentally changed. We have always told ourselves 'it can’t happen here.' But it now has — and we can never look at our country the same again. Trump has made American daily life coarser, more rude, and less welcoming to others. We have seen fundamental tears this year in the civic fabric of our country and communities."

"Plenty of American CEOs have proven themselves to be quite morally flexible; plenty of them appear willing to pay once-unthinkable bribes if it helps their business, even unconstitutional export taxes! …
That fundamental cowardice and weakness stands in sharp contrast to the many Americans who have bravely stood up at an individual level…."

"If you really, truly, deeply believed that Trump would lower prices quickly? I’m sorry. You’re an idiot."
~ Michael Tomasky
The truth is, it never was about the economy for a majority of Trump voters. Truth is, they knew exactly whom and what they were voting for. "The economy" was just a specious excuse. The racism and heterosexist male entitlement and immigrant bashing: that's what they wanted.

"Godwin’s Law expired last Friday with the publication of the Trump regime’s 'National Security Strategy of the United States of America.' …

"Friends, we are gathered here together to mourn the death of Godwin’s Law, the wry, venerated staple of modern-world wisdom, which is summarized thus:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. The person who first mentions Nazis or Hitler loses the argument."

"Much of the document is vague, meandering and self-contradictory. But it becomes clear and focused when it turns to Europe. Quite simply, Trump and those around him hate Europe. And they hate it because it still honors the ideals they’re abandoning in America."
"Trump wants to MAGAfy Europe....
The Trump administration has become especially hostile to Europe, precisely because the Europeans are trying to hold on to the values MAGA is trying to destroy at home.
Last week the Trump administration released its updated National Security Strategy for the United States."

"The chaos was triggered by Greene’s appearance on 60 Minutes, where she accused the president of betraying the MAGA and America First movements and suggested he was 'covering up for a child sex trafficking ring.' She also said Trump was responsible for the death threats she now receives.
Trump responded with a furious post calling Greene 'jilted.'”

Robert Reich asks why some Congressional Republicans are only now finding they have a spine. His response:
"Because the MAGA base that every congressional Republican is so afraid of and solicitous toward is falling apart.
They’re finally seeing Trump for what he is: a man without principle except getting richer and more powerful and engraving his name on buildings."

Explain it to me like I’m a 5 year old or a MAGA supporter.
Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth say America was acting in self-defence by destroying boats allegedly carrying drugs to the US.
Eighty non-military people have died in the Caribbean as a direct result of Trump’s orders to attack civilian boats.
So why is the U.S military being used to attack non-military, civilian targets in addition to being ordered to kill any survivors?
