What happens when U.S. citizenship is no longer enough to protect you from being stopped, detained, or treated as foreign?

I argue that SCOTUS's Noem v. VasquezPerdomo decision legalized a modern “gold roll/silver roll” system of belonging based on race.

Her father has Down syndrome. The doctors said he couldn't raise her… But they were wrong.

Michael worked, he learned, he was there for her every step of the way. Her mother left when she was six months old, but he never did. Today, she studies at the same university, and he applauded her on her first day and on her graduation.

Keith Harward spent 33 years in prison for a crime he did not commit until DNA evidence helped free him in April 2016. Today, we celebrate a decade of Keith’s freedom and World #DNADay, which commemorates the discovery of DNA’s unique double-helix structure.

Book Keith as a speaker through the Innocence Project’s Speaker Bureau to hear his story and learn about DNA’s contribution to freeing innocent people and reforming the criminal legal system: https://t.co/d618CyfK8G

Trump is now attacking the Pope for speaking out against war while posting images of himself as a messianic figure.

This is not only offensive. It is deranged, egomaniacal behavior.

When will Republicans in Congress stop blindly following this dangerous and unhinged man?

[Gustavo Petro @petrogustavo]

El derecho de la Iglesia católica y su Papa de pedir la paz del mundo viene directamente de las mismas palabras de Jesús. Jesús pregonaba la Paz. Nadie puede amenazar a ninguna persona porque pregona la paz.

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

“Jesus eloquently affirmed from the cross a higher law. He knew that the old eye-for-an-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame evil with good. Although crucified by hate, he responded with aggressive love.” Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Happy Easter! Even in our darkest moments, light finds a way through. May we carry forward the spirit of hope, compassion, and transformation this season represents.

Trump Threatens War Crimes, Bizarrely Praises ‘Allah’ on Easter Sunday

“‘Praise be to Allah,’ the insane president posted, while threatening to blow up Iranian power plants and bridges if he doesn’t get his way.”

[Hector Perla Jr @HectorPerla415]

The world wants peace! It’s telling that the president of Iran’s @drpezeshkian Easter message to the American people (see link below) sounds more like a reasonable statesman for peace than @realDonaldTrump’s warmongering Easter tweets. 🤦🏽‍♂️

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.

These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.
