The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
You made it, you own it

I love, love, love the access to the forward-facing cameras that some planes provide on their in-flight entertainment consoles. It almost *is* like looking out of the cockpit.
I really do not understand people who pull down the shade as soon as they get on a plane. I mean, I always try to get a window seat and I stay glued to the window the whole flight like I did the first time I was on a plane at age 6. Like flying over Greenland, I look around and nearly all the shades are down, and I'm like the double rainbow guy: "Oh my god! GREENLAND! What the hell are you all doing?!? Are you SEEING THIS? It is fucking amazeballs! Turn off that movie about the talking dog and LOOK at this amazeballs shit down there!"
