"Your right wing uncle"

At some point, we white people are going to have to deal with the reality that it's not one distasteful outlier. Something like a third of your relatives want to dominate, harass, and hurt people; including you if you try to stop them. And another third is happy to go along with it, if it saves them from having an awkward conversation.

edit: anyway, merry christmas, and happy new year

Yesterday I spoke at the Aurora City Council meeting against an anti-refugee amendment.

I pointed out the facts—that asylum is a human right, that immigrants, including undocumented immigrants, demonstrably boost economies, have lower crime rates than US Citizens, higher vaccination rates than US Citizens, and strengthen our cultural beauty.

I reminded those in attendance of the horrors inflicted upon Jewish refugees seeking asylum on the S.S. St. Louis in 1939
