“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.”

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

Hi folks. If you’re able, please consider a donation to the Southwest Indian Foundation in support of the First People. There is alarming poverty and there are dreadful living conditions for many, many of our First Americans. With Trump and his minions, things will only get worse. Help, please.
A New Welcome Message!

Really! REALLY, incoming president trump? Just heard on NPR that his “solution” to avoid children who are American citizens being separated from their parents in the course of mass deportations, is to send the whole family away. My. God.
