I remember the build up to the Iraq war. I specifically remember the courage with which the French, Belgians, Germans, Turks, Greeks, and Swedes stood up and opposed the war. It's uncomfortable seeing none of that today, probably out of fear the Americans will side even more with the Russians.

It is always best for regimes like the one in Venezuela to collapse on their own due to their own failures.
What Trump is about to do will only create martyrs for a cause that lost. Thereby giving it a leg to stand on in the years down the road.

Was just talking to a friend who has been hearing about evangelical women organizing around these topics - still resolutely anti-abortion, but committed to notions of human dignity that is incompatible with ICE activities. Also, penetration of evangelical church into LatAm communities goes both ways
if working for ICE is getting you serious pushback in a Kansas City church that I'm guessing is unlikely to be a particularly liberal one, you're losing.

"We have to preserve the sky," is something that was actually said during public comment.
