Thank goodness they are savy enough to keep the artist’s name a secret. But can you imagine how awful it would be to win a high school art contest, and find out your name couldn’t be displayed with the art for security concerns? Read more

Now that this news has made a bit of a splash, Rep. Correa is probably and hopefully getting lots of positive feedback from his constituents on this painting as well as any pro-immigration policies he champions to counter the hate. But lemme use this as an opportunity to remind those of us engaged in the Trump Read more

Lady Liberty was actually modeled after an Egyptian woman. Not the artist’s mother, like what most people believe. So that’s not even really that inaccurate of a depiction. Read more

Someone should tell them Lady Liberty is French. Read more

One way you can help in your area is to join a campaign for local legislation against wage theft. These include laws and ordinances that protect whistleblowers and deny operating licenses for employers found to have engaged in wage theft. This doesn’t just protect people in the US without the right papers, but poor Read more

People suck in general. For years people have “retaliated” against Arab and Muslim neighbors, exes, and employees by “reporting” them to the FBI for alleged terrorism. Nothing ever is found, and its just an attempt at a shakedown. And yeah, reporting people to ICE has been going on just as long, it’s just gotten Read more

These laws aren’t going to help anyone. If anything, it’s going to hurt a LOT of people through false positives. There are many, many women who kind of look like men and men who kind of look like women out there. Over zealous whistle blowers are going to find the closest police officer the second they observer one of Read more

This has nothing to do with the article, but in my mind, the headline photo depicts the closest that the President of Mexico was willing to get to Trump to shake his hand. Read more

I wouldn’t say it was a lie. That’s a pretty bold accusation.

That’s a pretty bold accusation, Sarah? These aren’t normal times. In fact these times call for more than boldness, they call for outright confrontation. Read more

I’m not so sure whether he lied outright, or just has no idea what he’s saying or doing. Not sure which is worse. Read more

Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve been causing?!?!? Read more

They were “direct conversations”, then why did he say they called? Was that the follow up question? If not why not? If he’s mistaking conversations for phone calls why aren’t his own people worried about that? Read more

Can we rule out the possibility that Trump *is* getting lots of phone calls from people claiming to be running the Scouts or the President of Mexico - but in actuality it’s Ivanka and Jared calling in with silly voices just to stop him spending all his time on Twitter? Read more

“Suspected gang ties” aren’t defined in the ICE release, but as the New York Civil Liberties Union said in a statement last week, it has been interpreted in the past by other law enforcement organizations to encompass things such as “wearing a black t-shirt to school, playing soccer with suspected gang affiliates Read more

If you could drive the area where I work, you’d see a sea of these workers.....working in 100 degree temps. They go home, shower, eat & repeat....all for scraps. I’m heartbroken, utterly heartbroken....there is no way to express the pain I feel. This very well could have been me & my dad...he was here illegally. He Read more

I didn’t say I’m gonna kill transgenders. I said if one did that to me...and they didn’t tell me, I’m going to be so mad I’m probably going to want to kill them Read more
