I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

How does taking a young child from their home help target dangerous criminals, national security threats, or violent offenders like murderers, sex offenders, drug traffickers, or gang members?
Are they kidnapping them so ICE can get their bonuses?

ICE just abducted a 4-year-old boy in Minneapolis. ICE is using the boy as “bait” to get the mom. Father is also abducted. Absolutely disgusting, horrific, inhuman stuff.
Help. Us. Fight. There is only one right side of history on this.

Ossoff: "There's a wickedness to the program. I don't know, pastor, where it is in scripture that it says deny care to the sick, take from those with the least to give to those with the most, violate the house of worship to hunt down the refugee. Where in the scripture are those lessons taught?"

Nonviolence is an active resistance to evil. It seeks reconciliation and recognizes that perpetrators are also victims. It accepts the consequences of its actions. Nonviolence is active not passive and believes deeply that justice will prevail.

The Limits of Violent Authoritarianism
Trump’s authoritarian desires are boundless. But the past year proves that his ability to impose them on America is not.
Even invoking the Insurrection Act would not magically change that.

This aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable,as the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself.Faced with this logic, there is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along,to accommodate,to avoid trouble,to hope that compliance will buy safety.
Well,it won't.
