I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race between Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel is, without a doubt, the most consequential item on the election calendar these next few weeks.
This conversation between historian Heather Cox Richardson and Ben Wikler, Chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, highlights the historical background and what is at stake, and underscores why it is imperative that we help Crawford win. The election is April 1st.

Had the 2022 congressional map survived, the House would be 218D-217R.
That said, the 2022 map was imposed as one time thing per the Court’s ruling against the map R legislature passed. Rs were set to flip the NC Supreme Court in 2022 if not 2020. They had enough time to remap anyway.
Yeah, in that 2022 election Richard Dietz (R) beat Lucy Inman (D) 52.6–47.4, while Trey Allen (R) beat the Democratic incumbent Sam Ervin IV by very similar figures: 52.4–47.6. Those were solid five-point margins; I don’t know what it would have taken for Democrats to hold the NC Supreme Court majority. Interestingly, Ervin IV’s namesake grandfather was Senator Sam Ervin Jr. of Watergate fame, who imho made those Senate hearings particularly memorable.
