Resistance is calling out the misogyny, racism, bigotry, and forced religious views when you see or hear them. Keep resisting!

World-renowned hot air balloon event in August. The sight of many balloons lighting up in time with the music to create a magical atmosphere was incredibly impressive.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Some 600 immigrant kids have been sent to federal custody by ICE this year.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.
Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.

I feel like I should’ve realized with the hot air balloon episode that The Good Place was doing a Wizard of Oz
(Jason needs a brain, Eleanor needs a heart, Chidi needs courage, & maybe a bit of a stretch but Tahani needs a home/sense of belonging. Also an all-powerful wizard isn’t what he seems)

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
