Rather than slashing staff at the VA, the administration should be investing in additional care for those who served.

Spike Lee's latest collaboration with Denzel Washington — their first in nearly 20 years — reimagines a 1963 story about a wealthy businessman. In this version, Washington plays a music executive and Jeffrey Wright plays his chauffeur.

One thing we have going for us is access to excellent anti-fascist resources.
I recommend listening to these One Million Rising sessions in the car or on a walk. There's a strategy, and we just need to make ourselves part of it.

Local police don’t hide their faces. State troopers don’t. Sheriffs don’t. Even the FBI, unless it's a special tactical operation, and even then... they wear uniforms and ID. Why should ICE be the exception?

Consider this ‘defence’; if a murderer is in a school, it is justified to blow up that school and kill the children not to neutralise any threat or to achieve any military objective but purely to punish the murderer.
