Have you watched Heather's 2 Feb politics chat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xzjqr495EI

She URGES us to tell everybody what has happened, because Fox won't tell them. If you haven't got half an hour, cut in half way through, after she's finished making it clear that under the Constitution, America is governed by THE PEOPLE. Then she gets very anxious to make us all grasp the enormity of what has just been done. This is a coup. She implores us to take action, and makes several practical suggestions.

I am not so much a podcast watcher, although I have been doing more of it of late. I do read her column each day though and I know yesterday she sounded pretty serious about the enormity of what is going on.

Do watch her podcast, she is even better in those than she is on paper.

Ooh, I can't agree on that! Her writing is matchless. But facing us, her viewers, she's conveying her acute anxiety.

As usual she does a good explanation of what is going on. Thank you Reese.

The Lutheran church where I was christened, although I am not practicing, is very involved in collaborating with other religious organizations and secular institutions in my Chicago community to help immigrants transition into the USA. They also house a program for seniors, particularly those with dementia that my mom is a part of. All of their programs are filled with volunteers. One reads once a week to my mom whose vision is diminished, and they offer rides to doctors appointments and their activities when family members cannot take seniors.

It is so ironic that the Christian Nationalists are so eager to force women to have children, but then they want to kill children elsewhere by cutting off USAID. The story of Musk is frightening.

We need to take to the streets, and say, "Impeach and Imprison Trump! Deport Musk!" You should be saying this to every person that you see so that it becomes a mantra!
