Letter: Resistance starts with us

As governance of our republic hangs in the balance, one might wonder how experienced, highly informed people in positions of power could fail – day after day – to take definitive action in opposition to Trump’s global carnival of death and destruction.

Letter: Protections should not vary

The GOP wants "constitutional protection for thee, but not for me." Kyle Rittenhouse, too young for a legal gun permit walking the streets brandishing an AR15-style semi-automatic rifle? Fine. A 37 year old Boy Scout, ICU nurse, and holder of a lawful concealed carry permit? Executed by masked agents of the government.

Letter: Johnson’s selective outrage

Minneapolis residents Renée Good and Alex Pretti were fatally shot by ICE and U.S. Border Patrol agents. In response, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) posted on X: 

"Alex Pretti and Renée Good would be alive today if leaders like @GovTimWalz and @MayorFrey hadn’t encouraged them to go into harms way to harass and obstruct law enforcement."

Letter: Humans should consider meat alternatives

Most people aren't aware animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of climate change. To help counteract this, forward-thinking politicians should support state and federal funding of cultivated-meat research.

Letter: Honoring the fallen

I Honor

I honor the nurse, the mother, the disappeared of Minnesota and other states;

all the citizens that stand together in peace

to protest the violence

of masked Federal agents and military in to our communities,

that endured tear gas, smoke bombs, pepper spray and rubber bullets

Letter: Contact your leaders if ICE angers you

Let’s be honest. ICE’a and BCP’s behavior in Minnesota and elsewhere is illegal, immoral, unethical, inhumane and highly damaging to people, communities and our country.

Letter: Campaign promises versus reality

In response to recent actions by ICE agents and the current administration's reaction to them. I think I see what I see or am I not seeing what you wish me to see? Or are you refusing to see what you see or are you embarrassed by what you see? The carnage and lies of the current administration must be stopped.

24% of the US debt is owned by foreign investors.

 Japan owns $1.13 trillion; the United Kingdom owns $807 billion; China owns $750 billion. The US debt is $38 trillion.

President Trump has added trillions of debt with his “Big Ugly” giveaway to the rich.

Letter: Are we great again yet?

To the MAGA supporters out there.

I have a hard time understanding why America is now great again after one year of the second term of Trump's administration. My questions are:

1. Are we great now because the federal government can now come in and kill innocent  human beings without due process?
