Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

Anyway, Charlie thought it was worth it, bless his heart. He said it was a price that must be paid and clearly he didn't care who paid it. The kids in Evergreen over in CO just paid that price too.

In Sean Williams’s apartment, police found a list of 22 first names, one of which was accompanied by the word “baby,” along with an entry that read “no name girl.” At the top of the list was an underlined word: “Raped.” Why wouldn’t they investigate?
