Man, expectations are so low and I understand. People have been so beaten down politically that they think that nothing will be changed. But WE are the ones who have to push them to enact the policies they commit to. Nothing will 'just happen.'

A good thing about expressing our value commitments clearly, say ‘no kids in cages’ as opposed to just ‘this is outrageous,’ is it leads you to ask—where else might kids be caged.

It needs to be said clearly that it would be absolutely insane for the United States to start a war of aggression against Iran. If anyone thinks that Trump gives a rip about democracy or human rights you are kidding yourself. It’ll be another campaign of domination and plunder.
