Please do not refer to this "Board of Peace" as a UN-like entity.

It is a Mar-a-Lago Club / Rose Garden Club inspired membership with ONE person collecting fees, ONE person being in charge with neither citizens nor leaders having ANY say about anything.

Let's keep our heads on a swivel. Please.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Mayor Frey on Republicans feigning outrage for him telling ICE to get the fuck out: "I'm so sorry that I offended their Disney princess ears. When you compare the inflammatory nature of dropping an f-bomb to killing somebody, which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with killing somebody."

Martin Luther King Jr. devoted his life to fighting for justice and equality. Today, as divisions in our world deepen, his vision is not just inspiring, it is urgent. The work he began continues, and it is up to all of us to carry it forward.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.
