The people have the power.

Communities in Portland and across the country are making it clear that troops don’t belong in our streets.

Kristi Noem came to Portland, and people protested with dogs, dancing: Get caught up

As U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Noem made the case for increased security, local officials repeated that the situation was well in hand.

When (if) you 'love your neighbor', as they are commanded (the second greatest, upon which hang all the others), it is funny how uncomplicated it gets. And how easy to help one another be the very best self we can be! Without any of those internal pangs and conscience pains.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.

Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”
