Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.

Plainclothes “ICE” agents snatch a man outside Los Angeles’ largest courthouse on Wednesday. A tactic that has been repeatedly condemned by the legal community.
Painful to watch. Even more painful knowing there are people who not only accept this, are happy about it.

The difference between evil and good.
Evil is paranoid, disloyal, sees enemies everywhere it looks.
Good, on the other hand, is united, loyal, and has only one common enemy: evil.

A few months ago I told a friend that I like ‘Lord of the Rings’. He said that it’s too dark for him. (I could see that).
I replied that it also talks about friendship, loyalty, courage.
As I read the books again and watch the movies again, I realize the story also teaches to never give up.

I watched a bunch of videos yesterday that said people were throwing glitter at ICE agents. I think this is a grand idea. I’d be more than happy to be covered in n glitter Holi style for the cause. Thoughts??
Oh, I couldn’t find any of people actually doing that, BUT I did find this jewel. 👇🏻

There have been many cases in literature and history when things seemed lost but the little guy won.
David vs Goliath
The hobbits, in Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
Revolutionary War.
All that matters is what inspires you to get back up to keep moving a little more.

Besides their hatred and cruelty, these idiots don’t realize how much immigrants contribute to this country and keep it functioning.
Farms, hotels, restaurants, construction sites, and food processing plants will come to a standstill.
The country will stop functioning if they keep this up.

Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her.
When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.

Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at all. It comes at a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth.
This budget bill is a nightmare.

It was only 5 months ago that Trump said he would only go after the worst of the worst. Now they are disappearing people including U.S. citizens. Next they want to create a national database of citizens. Will states send back individual voting data?
If anyone thinks they are safe, they are wrong.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
