I grieve for the elders like Jesse Jackson who are passing when they are surrounded by evidence of how much we squandered the rights and freedoms they marched and suffered and organized for.
I hope we find it in us to to write the next great chapter in the work of equality and liberation.

Of course, Rev. Jesse Jackson was a towering figure of the Civil Rights Movement and every other movement for human dignity. But he also took time with new candidates who shared his values. Here’s Rev. Jackson helping me with me 2006 congressional campaign. Bless this great soul. RIP.

Please read this long but important thread from an immigration defense attorney.
If this administration is permitted to scale its current abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment of immigrants to the breadth and scope for which they’re currently planning, we’ll all be witness to mass atrocities.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.
