"TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives.

Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. That’s more than all states in this country except for four.

We need to call this chain link Florida abomination what it is: a death camp.

We cannot call it what the monsters who made it want us to call it.

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.”

I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.

Bass: We finally have some good news.

We got a great decision from the court—a temporary restraining order.

I think this showed that if we fight back peacefully, if we use the means our democracy provides, and in this instance, the courts—we get a proper decision.

I.C.E. is the Gestapo.

We all need to join together to oppose and obstruct them.

We are a nation of laws and they are violating them thousands of times a day.
