We lost one of the greats. Graham Greene was not only an actor but a trail blazer. He opened doors for so many of us Natives. I'm proud to say that the very first pilot I ever acted in was with Graham Greene. The pilot was never picked up but I get to say that I got to work with one of the greats.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.

ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.

Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers.

I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now.

It's so easy to hate. That's why it's so much harder to make peace than war. The best thing we can do is understand the other side.

They honestly believe the world is out to get them. They "know" that they're right and only want to show people truth.

Don't hate them. Pity them.

The Danes showed that you do not wait for permission to fight fascism. They resisted in small and big ways. They saved almost every Jewish neighbor. Fascism cannot survive without obedience. Ours still does. Refuse to comply. Protect the targeted. Make the collaborators sweat.
The Danes Resisted Fascism, and So Can We
Danish resistance didn’t arrive all at once during World War II. But taken as a whole, the Danes’ actions are a testament to what’s possible when we work together to fight fascism.
