If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

Trump would rather damage the tourism industry than allow his foreign critics from entering the country. Because he is a petty, vindictive, thin-skinned man. A very small man. And there are many here among us in this country who admire, love him.
Why even agree to host the Olympics and the World Cup if you are so frigging paranoid about people who are different from you? Exception is if they are rich. It is insane to think that these policies will not negatively impact these events.

We need representatives like Ilhan Omar, we DON'T need representatives like Randy Fine in office.

We should note that yesterday Senators Durbin and Duckworth issued formal criminal referrals for actions by members of the Trump regime. I think this needs to become far more common as we must attach criminality to their outrageous actions, and not let it get normalized as just boys being boys.
