Must-Reads and Some Thoughts on Deportations, Renditions, and Dictatorial Collaborations
While pundits fixate on whether Trump will openly defy court orders, his administration continues to violate them, ignoring rulings and telling one story in court and another in public.

Happy #SpringEquinox! It's also known as the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The date of the equinox is based on Earth's position in relation to the sun and varies slightly each year. This is different from the meteorological start of spring, which began on March 1st.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

I received a phone call titled Public Service. Never happened before, so I answered out of curiosity. It was my state representative saying to stay on the phone to hear a live town hall starting in a moment. I am still listening...and though his words are encouraging, he is confirming my worst fears
