Birthright Deportation
In the Autumn of this year our Fearless Leader in Washington is set to alter the Constitution in many ways. But, the 14th Amendment is the prime focus that President Trump wants to abolish. Our Founding Fathers in their infinite wisdom stipulated want constitutes citizenship and now Trump is again trashing the Constitution for his own political gain. Instead of focusing on total immigration reform, which is surely needed, Trump is again agitating millions of Americans with his rhetoric about eliminating birthright citizenship. With a bravado for circumventing the truth, Trump is fraudulently claiming that birthright citizens have no place in America today. Bear in mind that if Trump gets his way, millions of already American citizens could very well be deported just as inhumanly as this administration has done in the past. The cost would be a deathblow to the U.S. economy. The fact of the matter is currently there are still over 65 percent of undocumented immigrants already living and working in the US. And they have been here for over ten years.

Less than 1%
My name is Erika F. Shore. I am an actress, a writer, a cosplayer, and more. One thing about me that is important is that I am Jewish. I am not the most religious Jew, I do not follow all my customs and traditions as well as I should be, but I am Jewish non the less. I am proud of who I am and my religion because it is more than just that. Being a Jew is not just a religion it's a culture, a whole life style.

Donald Trump, DON'T SHOOT!
What in the world is Donald Trump thinking this time??? Yesterday, the man made some pretty intense threats against Central American migrants heading north towards the US right now, calling for possible military force to be used against them.

I Knew Them, and so Did You
In the days following the heart-wrenching attack on Tree Of Life Synagogue, many of us in the Jewish Community found ourselves emotionally shaken, mentally drained, and in a fog of emotions that we're struggling to make sense of. We're in such a deep state of mourning, while trying to remain steadfast and assured of our own strength. We feel ready to cry and at the same time, ready to fight. We cry for lost loved ones, and we cry for justice. All the while, the world continues to turn and it doesn't quite make sense. Anyone who has lost a loved one knows this feeling. You are grieving and you can't move on and yet life just keeps on impossibly going. That's what it's like for us now.

Vote for Humanity
Donald Trump has been repetitively exposed as and proven beyond any shadow of a doubt to be a notorious liar. On endless occasions in the public eye, he has falsified so much information that is readily available for public scrutiny and verification. There is no doubt in my mind and in the mind of any intelligent, sane, and informed adult that he is not to be trusted to tell the truth to the American people. Donald Trump is also a very disrespectful, immature, vulgar, crude, profane, thoughtless, insulting, and a toxic person. Much of his poisonous rhetoric is directed at minorities such as women, Muslims, and people of color. He has shown himself to be a person of very poor character. These are the facts ladies and gentlemen.

Black America: Why I Vote
Emancipation came down to two votes—two. Two votes that no black person in this country could cast. We had to depend on the goodwill and determination of a group of men to vote for what is right and not what was politically expedient or in their own self-interest. And let’s face it, for white men, white privilege in 1863 was a big deal. It was the only way that they could rise to whatever heights economically, politically, and socially without any competition from any woman or men of color.

Who Is Really Trying to Take Away Your Freedom?
I'm gonna receive so much heat for this post... by both Liberals AND Conservatives. Let's get started 😁 Before anyone assumes anything, allow me to declare that I highly respect our troops. I have had both family and friends serve in this country's military. I understand that those who join our military are good patriots. I am not here to smear their service or what they have done, I am here to shed some light on what has become a very skewed perspective.
