John Lewis was such a great man of leadership and advocate for civil rights.
“Freedom is the continuous action we must all take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.”

Rick Steves steps in to save Seattle-area hygiene center serving homeless residents. "If we don't have [$2.25 million] for a whole county to give homeless people a shower and a place to get out of the rain and a place to wash their clothes, what kind of society are we?" www.npr.org/2025/12/21/n...
Rick Steves steps in to save Seattle-area hygiene center serving homeless residents
Steves purchased the property to prevent it from closing. Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free on the property since 2020.

You guys caught this too, right?
“Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.” ███████ noted some girl with a funny name “took me into a fancy hotel or building, that’s how it happened.”
Also this: she was advised to call the police. But she replied, “I can’t, they will kill me.”

I truly hope the next administration gets the ICE employment rolls and hunts these assholes down and brings them to justice.
ICE grab a man shopping on Christmas Eve.
A bystander wanted to call this man’s wife and let her know what was happening.
The agents said “no”.
They took his food for themselves.
Food meant for his family.
It’s cruel lawlessness and we must all speak out.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
