Bring me a rose in the wintertime
When it’s hard to find
Bring me a rose in the wintertime,
I’ve got roses on my mind
A rose is sweet most any time and yet,
Bring me a rose in the wintertime,
It’s so easy to forget.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

"Refugee Blues" by W H Auden

Say this city has ten million souls.
Some are living in mansions, some are living in holes.
Yet there's no place for us, my dear, no place for us.

Once we had a country...

It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

Yes! And the media coverage should reflect how absurd and Ill-advised and unwelcome such a war would be, rather than, Iraq-style, casting it as inevitable.
