But if it gets kids looking into Buddy Guy...

Buddy was scared to do SINNERS. He asked himself, 'What am I doing here? I'm from Louisiana. I made it through eighth grade.' But on their deathbeds he promised Muddy Waters AND BB King (imagine that) he'd be an evangelist for the Blues..

This is Minnesota.
This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out.

My friends are so insanely brave.
Friend who's part of a neighborhood watch group says their car was just surrounded by ICE. Is fine but obviously rattled.

How often did Ashley Parker write both sides garbage and include obvious lies from the Trump admin in her reporting? She’s as responsible for this as anyone.

I cannot stand the "this is a good start" discourse. The Democrats in Congress do not want to abolish ICE. They have proposed a series of bog-standard reforms regurgitated by a think tank. Everyone knows they do not work. The Democrats supporting this do not care. They just want to move on.

in a democratic republic (and really in all times and places) the slavish hunger to be in the thrall of a strongman or a king is the ultimate moral degeneracy.

Being disgusted at 55-year-old men running around with 14-year old girls is NOT a moral panic. It’s having a basic sense of morals.
