Freedom. Justice. Speaking out. Grandma, mom, daughter, sister, tired teacher. Still, being alive is better than the alternative and I am wealthy in what really counts. Love of friends and family and a clear conscious. Looking for friends.

Ice and those sent to stop the protesters are violent.Trump's armed militia (I don't know what else to call them) are violent. The resistance is peaceful. The rallies are peaceful. Stop harassing peaceful citizens who are expressing their legal rights.

If Trump were principal at a high school, he'd send the students who work hard and get there every day home. The ones who rarely show up, don't have work completed, bully others, make lewd comments, and actions toward girls would be rewarded. He wouldn't last a year as Principal.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?"

This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there.

He has some thoughts.

Freedom of speech and thought are under attack. It's obvious with what's happening to libraries, museums, schools, and the press
