Independent religious, human rights & legal-aid organizations should have regular access to federal immigrant detention centers, including & especially those privately operated. Humane conditions & treatment need to be verified. Assertions that everything is fine are not enough.

The U.S. Hockey Men Spoil The Fantasy | Defector To be a U.S. Olympian is to represent the best that your country has to offer. That sounds extremely lofty when it’s written out like that, but I think that’s really how it works, ideally, if you’re t...

Meme of Trump-to-NYT translator:

Trump: ... THE SOMALI PIRATES RANSACKED MINNESOTA ... EVEN AS HE WAS GUSHING BLOOD, WHICH WAS FLOWING BACK DOWN THE AISLE HELICOPTER LANDS AT A STEEP ANGLE ....

NYT Translation: In his first State of the Union address of his second✩ term, President Trump offered a rosy portrait of a U.S. that has lost confidence in his leadership.

Bishop Stowe, 17 fellow bishops speak out on immigrationΒ enforcement On Tuesday, February 24, a few hours before President Trump's first State of the Union address of his second term, Pax Christi USA's bishop president Bishop John Stowe, OFM Conv., of Lexington KY, and 17 other bishops issued a statement strongly condemning ongoing tactics by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to threaten and intimidate the immigrant community. They reiterate the position of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops that undocumented immigrants should be given the opportunity to process through the immigration system without unwarranted fear of detention, family separation, and deportation.

Pax Christi USA's bishop president, Bishop John Stowe OFM Conv. of Lexington KY, has joined with 17 fellow bishops on a new letter strongly condemning the ongoing threats and intimidation by ICE against the immigrant community.

The Last Idiot Who Earnestly Believes in the American Experiment Still left out of the joke, even now.

Mike Somes missed the joke when "America’s finest comedic minds decided it would be really funny if we all pretended that there was no greater idea than the notion that all people had inalienable rights, and that there could be no cause more noble than any effort to protect those rights for others."
