I watched “Sinners” last night. A movie about a lot of things. Vampires that grow exponentially in numbers was not the scariest thing to me. Watching black people, First Nations people, Chinese people, and women walk around living their lives like there was not a target on their back was terrifying.

A drawing by famous architect Louis Sullivan. In his later years he fell on hard times. His friends at the Art Institute of Chicago asked him to create ornamental drawings for a book also containing his philosophy of architecture. The proceeds of the 400 books printed, went to Mr. Sullivan.

You should ride Greyhound because they stand for more than just buses they stand for people. When they said “no” to warrantless immigration checks, they showed that every passenger’s rights matter. Every trip isn’t just travel; it’s a statement: civil liberties and human dignity come first.

We still have judgment here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poison’d chalice
To our own lips.
