Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.
It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.
Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.
It’s illegal and un-American.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years.
Meanwhile, the six largest health insurers raked in more than $31 billion in net income last year.
Still not sure if we need Medicare for All?

If what we hope will happen ever happens, we'll watch as many, many people in the world of politics, overnight, go on to pretend they were always against what preceded it. This era has been a highly effective acid test for character. Take notes now, so that you don't forget in the future.

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

My proposal for US-China relations after Trump is to start a direct, uncle-to-uncle cultural exchange program where we being all of the most Dongbei guys over here to meet midwestern dads, and we send southerners over to Sichuan province. I think it can fix things.

At a time when we desperately need to bring down the temperature, the president of the United States is deliberately turning up the heat. His thirst for chaos and division is dangerous and deeply un-American.
