We really need to invest in the next generation of camp
初めて選挙に参加したのは2000年のブッシュ対ゴアーの大統領選だった。ブッシュがその怪しい状況で大統領になっても、ま〜、政治は私とそんなに関係あるかって甘い考えも恥ずしいほど新鮮に覚えてる。2001年の９・11後、弟が軍隊に入って、米国法によればまだお酒も飲めない年齢で戦場に出って、怪我だけして生き残ったと言いながら言葉だけで伝わらないダメージも受けた。
戦後日本を守ってきたものは憲法９条だ。"soft power"の戦略も批判しているが、日本の（選挙権がない）住民として、米国の”永遠の戦争”に傷ついた家族の一員として、それを何よりも強調した。
選挙権ある皆様に、よろしくお願いいたします。

ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

In the newest addition to 𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴, Pollyanna Rhee portrays the perennial wheatgrass Kernza, challenging its promise of endless abundance and environmental responsibility:
