Latinos wanna work. American businesses need workers. What’s the problem? Find solutions. Stop hurting good people. They keep telling us illegal immigrants are breaking the law. But there is the letter of the law and there is the spirit of the #law. #immigration

A purge of dedicated #FBI agents, #patriots protecting a #freeAmerica, will only serve to weaken our country and make us more susceptible to foreign attack. Why is there not more #outrage about this?

“James Madison made the point, tyranny arises on some favorable emergency. One coup has been attempted. A failed coup is usually practiced for a successful one. The emergency might be more favorable next time. We cannot afford to be surprised.” Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny #resist #brave #opposition

On Tyranny, Rule #3: “Beware the oneparty state. Parties that remade states & suppressed rivals weren’t always omnipotent. They exploited a historic moment to make political life impossible for opponents. Support the multiparty system, defend the rules of democratic elections. Vote. Run for office.”

On Tyranny, Rule #2: “Defend institutions that help preserve decency. They need help…Do not speak of ‘our institutions’ unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions don’t protect themselves. They fall unless defended…choose an institution you care about…take its side.” ~Snyder

On Tyranny, rule #1: “Do not obey in advance. Most of [authoritarian’s power] is freely given. In [these times] individuals think ahead about what a…repressive government will want, and…offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” ~Snyder

“European democracies collapsed into rightwing authoritarianism & fascism in the 1920s & 30s. History shows that societies break, democracies fall, ethics collapse, and ordinary men find themselves standing over death pits with guns in their hands. It would serve us today to understand why.” ~Snyder

As a novelist, I need to understand the criminal mind. The antagonist must be plausible. In that spirit, I’m reading ‘On Evil’ by Adam Morton. On Evil is a deep dive into defining evil acts. It’s a philosophical analysis not only of those considered to be evil, but also how that moniker is applied.

Books have always been so much more than mere entertainment. As a child, the stories transported me away from my troubles and worries and pain and fears to a world and a life could where I could imagine strength and bravery and love. I didn’t know it then, but reading transformed me. How about you?
