“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Please read this. Please share. This should be outrageous. This is a tear on the fabric of the country we want to live in.
Stop covering politics, some of our dear readers cry every time we post something relephant. Look: politics are life. Equal rights, empathy, fair economy, healthcare. We can’t ignore what’s happening, and you shouldn’t either. ~ ed.

All that we share:
“Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.” ~ Mike Pence (see tweet here).

President Trump just went full-on un-American.
This should be a black cloud, today, and yet it seems Americans don’t care, much. We can’t afford to stand aside and let this happen. This is outrageous—and ineffective.

A green card is a legal form of permanent residency.
If this were truly about terrorism, not merely prejudice, Saudi Arabia would be on the banned list.
How can one American prohibit LEGAL PERMANENT US RESIDENTS from re-entering the country? Easy:

“It will bar green card holders,” Gillian Christensen, acting Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said in an email.
