He is a good and decent man.

If you ever see John Roberts in person and don’t tell him to go fuck himself, you’ll regret it forever.

"No wonder scoundrels find refuge in patriotism; it offers them immunity from criticism (2004)." #BillMoyers #RIP #PrayForAmerica

"ICE officers aren’t anonymous commentators on a social network; they are representatives of the state, acting on its behalf and empowered to use force if necessary. As a federal agent, an ICE officer is a public servant..." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

Let us imitate the spring, which doesn't ask the thirsty before they drink, what country are you from? ~ Blessed Jacob of Ghazir, 'Abuna Yaqoub', OFM Cap. (Office of Readings)

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

In the Tea-Party phase of the GOP, back when they were refining their "illegal immigrants on farms are taking American jobs!" talking point, the United Farmworkers invited ANY US Citizen first dibs on any farm job. Nobody lasted for more than a day. www.rawstory.com/trump-farmer...

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

How is this right? How do people justify this level of cruelty? If we can't ALL say, "we won't tolerate this horror", then I feel as if we were never in this together.

Happy Bloomsday! “Every life is many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.”

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

It's like they learned about the American Colonization Society, the Trail of Tears, and Japanese internment in school and said yes, let's do that.
