DEI—diversity, equity, and inclusion—is love in action. It means creating space where everyone belongs, is valued, and has what they need to thrive. Just like family, it’s not about sameness, but about showing up for each other with care and respect.

I don’t understand how we’re letting this happen.
Famine in Gaza. People—children—starving, trapped in a place they can’t leave. This isn’t about politics or sides right now. This is about basic humanity. Why can’t we get them food? Why is this okay? It’s not.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.
