When I see someone at their best in a conflict, I see someone who is first trying to learn more, not trying quash someone else.
Philip Berrigan was a World War II soldier, a Catholic priest, a civil rights and anti-war activist who spent 11 years behind bars for nonviolent resistance to war. From the 1950s until 2002— when he was released from prison just a few months before his passing— Phil was relentless in both articulating resistance to war and embodying that resistance by sacrificing his life and liberty for those victims in the breach.
A Gallup poll taken late in 2023 shows that 53 percent of Americans think that the Republicans are better at running the economy, a 14 percentage-point lead over the Democrats that is the highest since 1991. An IPSOS poll taken around the same time shows roughly the same thing – a 10-point lead for Republicans on the economy: 35 percent to 25 percent. An NBC poll from late 2023 shows an even wider gap of 49 percent to 28 percent in favor of the GOP. Finally, a snap poll of those who watched the Trump-Harris debate in September also gave the Republican Party a 20-point margin on the economy, although the margin has shrunk since then.

In recent days, Donald Trump and his Republican running mate, JD Vance, have doubled down on their false and defamatory claims about legally-admitted Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, thus churning up widespread fears, bomb threats, and school evacuations. Claiming that these migrants were destroying the American “way of life,” Trump promised that, if elected, he would order massive deportations. This statement echoed his astonishing promise, made during the 2024 campaign and previously, to seize and deport between 15 and 20 million immigrants.
Your vice president, Dick Cheney, is among hundreds (by now, thousands?) of prominent Republicans who have publicly denounced Donald Trump as too dangerous a threat to our country to ever again be allowed anywhere near the White House.
