Democrats should defund and restrain ICE to the degree possible. And they should insist on this condition at least: No ICE (or Border Patrol) anywhere near the polls or early voting election locations this fall.
Steve Bannon,
"We're gonna have ICE surround the polls...We'll never again allow an election to be stolen."

That moment when you’re reading Thucydides and hit this passage just before the start of the war: “Abstinence from all injustice to other first-rate powers is a greater tower of strength than anything that can be gained by the sacrifice of permanent tranquility for an apparent temporary advantage.”

Again, I'm convinced that the easiest amendment to pass is one that eviscerates unitary-executive theory nonsense:
"Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to grant the President unenumerated powers derived from monarchical privileges or prerogatives."
"Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to grant the President unenumerated powers derived from monarchical privileges or prerogatives."
Simple amendments that IMO would have a decent chance of getting ratified:

In London a time comes every day where the ghosts get their own back. It's often subtle but always undeniable, and it's strongest in autumn & winter.
If you're ever at loose ends on Christmas Eve, pay respects at St Michael's Cornhill. Because here, down the alley, was Scrooge's counting house.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

A piece of career advice I give people I mentor is to go where you are valued. It means it’s important to be in a role where you are respected, recognized and rewarded.
Sometimes despite tenure, it’s better to leave and accelerate your career trajectory versus staying where you’ve been written off.

Fewer beans = great coffee if you get the pour height right
