One of my favorite superstitions is the belief that positive coincidences happening to me are an indicator I'm on the right path.
There've already been a couple recently, and then today I (unemployed) got an email from my pre-trail job saying "Oops, we owe you money! It'll be there tomorrow."

People think being Buddhist looks like staying really chill and meditating a lot, but what it really looks like, sometimes, is trying to figure out how to remove a spider from the toilet you just peed in so that you can flush without drowning the lil guy.

THIS is how you demonstrate an understanding of the issues, Senator.
This is how you highlight what needs to be done. This is the kind of clear, targeted action that builds confidence not just in you, but in the party.
Stop saying "so-and-so should..." and be more like Ron.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

In Spain, a version of “all talk and no action” is mucho ruido y pocas nueces, which means “all noise and few walnuts.”
Bonus trivia… Mucho Ruido y Pocas Nueces (All Noise and Few Walnuts) is also the Spanish title of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.

This bill by a Washington State Democratic legislator would prevent any law enforcement agency in the state from hiring anyone employed as a sworn ICE officer after January 20, 2025. A good start, I say. Make them outcasts.

Our constituents are being surveilled, threatened, tear gassed, shot, subjected to warrantless arrest, kidnapped, and disappeared. 35 people have died in detention in ICE’s deadliest year yet.
ICE’s terror and violence need to end.
