Every noncitizen in this country now knows that if they merely voice strong opposition to Israel, they risk deportation. They need commit no crime. They need only hold a view disliked by Marco Rubio and government men in masks will find you, imprison you and deport you.
This is a very dark day for the First Amendment - gutted for noncitizens to protect a foreign country from criticism.

I think Dr. Rice makes a wonderful case for the nation celebrating the end of slavery, but why not make the celebration around the Emancipation Proclamation which ended slavery for the entire nation? This seems like the real second founding.
It is not surprising that in a country as large as ours in the midst of war that some areas would receive the word that slavery had ended later than other areas of the country. In any case I do agree that recognizing and celebrating the formal end to slavery is an important and crucial historical event for our nation.
I find myself wishing however that we would formally identify as a holiday, the end of slavery rather than a somewhat esoteric event that makes it seem like it is specifically a black holiday. The end of slavery marks an important turning point in our nation’s development as a free democratic republic. It should not be seen as just a black holiday.
