Bodies and Souls

Bodies and Souls

WALLS IN THE MIND, WALLS IN THE DESERT. Ritual and roles. Bodies and souls. You can contain another’s with a show of force, but it will be at the cost of imprisoning your own.

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE UNDOCUMENTED…. but anyone who studies history knows what comes next. If you and I allow Them to be abused, we lose. I write of the ballooning Constitution-ignoring para-police agency named ICE.

Bellingham Raid Focus Results in Drastically Different Outcome

Friday, April 17th, 2009

THE NATIVIST LOBBY HAS INSINUATED ITSELF into the media dialogue on immigration to all our detriment. They create a false boogeyman of danger and parasitism, and promote the impression that the only response is a harsh, punitive one doled out in cuffs or a cell.

Weekly Immigration Wire: Obama’s Hard Line on Immigration

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

In the modern world, borders do not separate families, nor commerce, nor soldiers, nor bank accounts and their owners.

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

ALL OVER THE NATION, communities are clamoring to be heard.
