I don't often wear political t-shirts, but I'm proudly sporting this one today.
I'm an immigrant.
I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.

Rosa Parks’ powerful act of courage and refusal to accept injustice is a stark reminder of our responsibility to keep fighting for equality, dignity, and freedom for all.
Her legacy will always inspire California to answer the call to bravery.

The City of Philadelphia has introduced legislation to limited ICE in the city. The Federal Agents can not be masked, must have ID visible, must have arrested warrants signed by federal judges. They can't attack people. If they can't do this, they will be arrested.

Today, Secretary Rubio told us that Trump didn't tip off his buddies in the oil & gas industry about his invasion of Venezuela.
Trouble is, Trump literally admitted on camera to doing just that.
What else are they hiding about this corrupt, illegal operation?

Right. Once again, the idiot from within is speaking. I do believe that is all the speaking voice that Trump has.
Trump: "We take out drug dealers, we take out a whole group of people by the thousands. And if we get one person a little bit wrong -- headlines. But they don't talk about all the tremen-- the reason we have Minnesota crime down is because we took out so many criminals."

Last week, it was my honor to visit the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. As I stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel where Dr. King spent his final moments, I thought about what Dr. King would see if he looked at America now. What would he think? What would he say?
