Ted Cruz is proving a point I made in my article. When places like Martha’s Vineyard prove they can be compassionate to immigrants, the fascists will just try to ship humans to to somewhere else. Because the point isn’t to *solve* a problem, it’s to make one.

We need to think of each other as true sisters and brothers, and to be concerned with each other’s welfare. Rather than working solely to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, something seriously directed toward the welfare of humanity as a whole.

Thank you @OSUExtension for partnering on Urban Roots, which will benefit youth by sparking interests and finding passion in agriculture and natural resources. It's about innovation and technology, from the food that we eat to the fiber in our clothes. @CommishCrawley

My ancestors were stolen from the shores of W Africa and enslaved in America. They had no bodily autonomy. They were property. Raped. Forced to breed only to have their babies ripped from their arms. They were traumatized. But they fought. They fought for a world they’d never see
