Trump says he is authorizing the military to use "Full Force" in Portland.

You apparently need a FB account to access the article I am sharing, I don’t know why. It is from the NYT 1/31/2025 by Lydia Polgreen, entitled “Something Extraordinary is Happening All Over the World”, and discusses migration in a larger context than I, at least have seen.

Pope Francis in 2018, holding the hand of a little girl with Down’s Syndrome, as he continued his homily. Really worth seeing if you want evidence of sorely needed, normal compassion.

@booker.senate.gov Thank you Senator Booker! Your honesty and emotion during your marathon speech gave me hope. I think Democrats need to do more of that, speaking from the heart. (Republicans just need to do the right thing already.) Thank you again.
