Righteous lips cover hatred,
But those who bring forth abuse are very lacking in discernment.

You will not escape sin by a multitude of words,
But you of discreet lips will be forbearing.*

What small gov. conservatives say: Companies should donate to support, government should not fund. So they cut funding for libraries. Now where do students find sources for research? Cause companies are NOT filling gap. And won't. Such magical thinking. guides.lib.purdue.edu/c.php?g=1480...

We need one of these for my local food bank but its workers are so busy, they don't have time to set up a donate now button or website.
Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

97,293 words. 17 chapters. The full draft is done. Another edit on the final four chapters, a full edit in Scrivener, and beta readers left. So I signed up for AWP and author to agent today!
This is the third book I've written. The others haven't found a home. Yet.

Isaac Saul: I am going to repeat this over and over today, just to make the most salient detail as clear as I possibly can: The Trump administration knows it will lose the birthright citizenship case on the merits, so it is avoiding that fight altogether. www.readtangle.com/supreme-cour...
The Supreme Court takes up birthright citizenship, sort of.
