Hap Hapner - political dissident on a watchlist somewhere

i look to evolution to either 1) cure humanity of its good/evil approach to community; or 2) cure the earth of the human presence all together.

As we start this day, this week, remember, protest is not enough.
Action is all that matters.
Platitudes & wishes are just that.
Do something to:
Help the unhoused
Feed the hungry
Protect the abused
Assist the foreigner
Aid the poor & oppressed
Morning! Thanks for sun!

My friend Gatita is absolutely right.
Reminder: ICE is not law enforcement & has zero authority over U.S. citizens.

What we are seeing with our own eyes are multiple crimes - property damage, assaults, kidnappings and murders - committed, coordinated and promulgated by criminals who have stolen our taxes to fund said crimes.
Period.

For those keeping score, add this to the US's "blowout loss" in the trade war:

Attention:

Your tax dollars are paying ICE agents.

End this nonsense now.

Life in Cuba is even worse & no one seems to care.

"Life in Iran sounds absolutely miserable—70 percent food inflation, a worthless currency, and a government that’s bankrupt (I mean financially, but morally too, obviously), all on top of the usual ideological horribleness."
"I can’t be the only one who noted the hideous irony of the president who is now overseeing the killing of American citizens simultaneously threatening to bomb (or do something to) Iran if that nation starts … killing its own citizens."

Which City Will Donald Trump Bomb First: Tehran—or Minneapolis?
The Iran situation is getting hot. The ICE confrontations are intensifying. And we live under a rogue leader constrained only by his own “morality.” This could go anywhere.

I'm afraid you may be right.
Let's agree that we won't let that happen to us.

There's a lot of hurt, a lot of anger but there are ways to protest, boycott & be heard. Be safe.
