Interstellar travel is impossible and aliens haven't visited Earth, physicists say β€œThere is a silence in the night sky that has bothered me for as long as I can remember. ” Richard Feynman’s reflection lingers because it feels personal.

Another truth most humans are just to dumb to grasp.

Another memorable ruling out of West Virginia, where Judge Goodwin β€” a Clinton appointee β€” excoriates the treatment of ICE detainees.

"This is not what civil enforcement looks like in a humane system of government under law."

We Need Civil Disobedience Across America
We need civil disobedience in this country. Now.In the words of MLK Jr: β€œInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice every We Need Civil Disobedience Across America

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

In the spirit of Dr. King, we must respond to ICE's tyranny with peaceful, mass civil disobedience across America.

I stand with the people of Minnesota and other cities across the country who are doing that today.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

A message to S.F. Mayor Lurie: The demise of California College of the Arts is nothing to celebrate OPINION: What made DanielΒ Lurie’s announcement so tone-deaf was that it revealed how little he knows about art and culture and how deeply ingrained the college was in the fabric of the city.
