I left Falls Church before Polegreen was "rebuilt" - it is very cool. Thank you for sharing the video.

The people whose Substacks I read faithfully - you, Robert Hubble, Jes Craven, Heather Cox Richardson, Jay Kuo, and on and on - your voices are the ones that rouse me to action as Patrick Henry's once did to his contemporaries. You speak to our better angels, remind us that "when your heart breaks because of what we are losing, it’s your soul’s way of showing us what really, really matters" (Jay Kuo). You connect to us on our phones instead of through pamphlets, but the call to stand against what is unjust and do what is right is the same.

Well, ICE is still way out of control, and getting nastier by the minute. And yes, a few American citizens have been rounded up, but so far been released. After a while.

DHS doxxed Abrego Carcia's wife's home address, so now she has had to move to a safe house.

And I'm waiting for martial law... Whiner in Chief would love to do that.

But we're all aware of all of that.

Whiner's trouble is that at least one "Republican megadonor" is saying he's "hurting America's brand", and Whiner lives and dies by the money he can raise. When the billionaires turn on him, he'll whisk himself off somewhere, and let someone else take the fall.
