If you only read one thing today, let it be this. ICE is not in retreat. What we saw in Minnesota is going to spread everywhere. Get ready, friends. Take a training. Connect with your neighbors. Find out which groups are already doing prep work and volunteer. Lock arms and love on your community.

Secular ethics or religious obedience?
Secular morality is far superior because it relies on compassion and logic rather than on fear-based adherence to imagined divine mandates.
True moral agency comes from taking personal responsibility for one's impact on individuals and on society as a whole.

It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

That will remain the most heartbreaking part of this ordeal.
America is such a beautiful idea.
We are becoming unworthy of it.

Donald Trump is a criminal who should be in jail and not the White House. ICE is a band of lawless goons who shouldn't be allowed to carry guns or badges. And the citizens who peacefully protest the Administration's violence against our nation are the true patriots.
