I often think about this memorial we have along the waterfront in Portland. It emphasizes the grave injustice we did to Japanese Americans during WWII. Congress formally apologized in 1988. The plaque on the right is written by Ronald Reagan. Worth a read.

I love how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy in charge of our national well-being, runs away like a cartoon character the moment somebody needs medical help. The other Trump gargoyles at least attempt to look concerned. Kennedy sprints off camera.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
