We remember the tragic events of Kent State in 1970, when 4 students were killed & 9 others were wounded during a moment of protest & civic expression. Political violence has no place in our society. The strength of nonviolence reminds us that even in moments of deep division, we must choose peace.

This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.

A brilliant article that everyone commenting about Iran should read. The Iranian government is not your friend, and never will be, unless you happen to be a clerico-fascist enthusiast of mass torture and mass murder. But weirdly, many in the West who claim to be on the left seem to support it.
