Lifelong liberal Democrat who wants to help stop the fascist takeover. America is a nation of immigrants whether white supremacist Republicans admit it or not. Good > evil. We only have one earth. Bigots suck. What have we been trained to ignore?

Dozens of Israeli settlers set cars and trees ablaze and attacked Palestinians as they gathered for their autumn olive harvest across the West Bank on Friday. Masked men, some of them carrying gas canisters, chased and beat people, while others threw rocks and burned trees.

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.
