We will always remember everyone we lost on 9/11, thank the first responders who keep us safe, and honor all who defend our country and the ideals that bind us together. There's nothing our resilience and resolve can’t overcome, and no act of terror can ever change who we are.

BREAKING: We're suing @ICEgov and the Federal Bureau of Prisons for inhumanely detaining immigrants in federal prisons. They’ve created a human rights crisis by denying adequate medical care and food, and violating their rights to religious freedom.
Sixteen of the 23 players on France’s team come from families that recently immigrated to the country, most of them from Africa. Seven players are Muslim. A testament to how immigrants enrich a country’s culture.
My autistic 10yr old daughter, who hardly ever chooses to read or write, banged this out on the computer yesterday. She’d be over the moon & maybe inspired to write more often if it got some likes & RTs.
