I care about the poor, the sick, the hungry, the homeless, all the disenfranchised of our society. One of my favorite things is teaching English to refugees, but sadly, they're currently unable to enter the U.S.

Newly released Epstein files name Trump over 1,000 times. FBI notes reference a lawsuit alleging Trump raped a 13 year old child. Federal records exist. A child deserved protection,. Accountability still hasn't come. #sheshed

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.

#USA is not at war with #Venezuela unless and until it is authorized by an act of Congress.
Until then, it is an unconstitutional action of 47 involving the DoD in an illegal move in Venezuela.
The people of USA have not authorized a war. Far from it.

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

but they weren't wanted there. Eventually, Nepal offered shelter to 100,000 Lhotshampa in refugee camps. However, they are not "Nepali enough" for that country to confer citizenship.

Some Lhotshampa protested these measures, leading to their arrest and that of thousands of family members, friends, and neighbors. Homes were seized. Citizenship was revoked. Many Lhotsampa were tortured and killed in front of their children. The remaining Lhotshampa population fled to India,

However, in the 1980s, everyone living in their region had to provide documentation of legal residence back to 1958. All Lhotsampa were fined or sent to jail if they wore anything but a traditional costume in public. Finally, the Nepali language was removed from school curriculum.

They became known as ghe "Lhotsampa," meaning "Southerners," and for more than 100 years, generations of them lived and worked peacefully in Bhutan. They gained citizenship in 1958. The Lhotsampa were mostly Hindu and spoke Nepali, but they were still considered Bhutanese citizens.

Years ago when I Iived in Houston and felt like a refugee there, I taught English to Bhutanese refugees. It was one of the most important, meaningful things I've ever done.
