"Have you no sense of decency?" posed to Senator Joseph McCarthy by attorney Joseph Welch on June 9, 1954, rebuking McCarthy's cruelty. Trump is genetically deficient in this area and never had any training in even being able to PRETEND to have a modicum decency.

We need to start calling "detention centers" concentration camps. Cause that's what they are!

I am shocked and as a result, will have to cancel my subscription to The Contrarian. I have just read in The Guardian that "The global publishing platform Substack is generating revenue from newsletters that promote virulent Nazi ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism, a Guardian investigation has found."

Imagine a platform that we use to try to awaken people and defeat the Nazi authoritarians, being the very same platform that hosts those Nazi's! Plus, they give them money that they have made from those on this site to support the Nazi activities!

THE CONTRARIAN AND ALL THE OTHERS USUNG THIS SITE MUST LEAVE IT ASAP!

NFL chose Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show & not some clownish suck up to the Chosen One like Kid Rock. But hey Kid Rock may still be entertainment for some...enjoy. Most of us will be enjoying Bad Bunny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGZbfgIZfnw

“Observing ICE is a 'de-escalation' tactic”

I just watched this 15 minute video on YouTube from Minnesota Public Radio interviewing a sociologist about how observing ICE agents here serves as a de-escalation tactic. I think y’all would like it. https://youtu.be/FDVrPfZqbhU

Here’s the audio version from mpr news website, but the video includes a lot of still shots of scenes that aren’t the clickbait sort, which is nice. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/01/20/observing-ice-agents-is-a-deescalation-tactic-sociologist-says

It occurred to me while watching that the other thing that serves as a de-escalation is that the rest of the world is watching and protesting. That’s having a profound impact.

Librarians may very well turn out to be our most unlikely heroes! Many of them have been threatened with death or job losses because they believe in true democracy. The right ring has pushed false narratives and lies for so long about democrats they need to be exposed for what they really are. They have overplayed this for far too long it’s eventually going to backfire on them in a huge way.

Jen and Norm, tonight I relocated the podcast I have been looking for, showing Donald Trump’s admission to Lex Friedman, that he lost the 2020 election.

This site shows Donald Trump Admitting to interviewer Alex Friedman, in Podcast #442, that he lost the 2020 election. The site is:

https://youtu.be/qCbfTN-caFI

I believe that that question and Donald Trump‘s response, saying that he lost by a whisker, should be played continually or at least very frequently, every replace possible, in order to stop the lies about a stolen election. He knows that he did not win, and he admitted that he lost in this interview.
