Nihilism has always been dead. In the darkest times, look deeply for something beautiful and it will appear, defying description, distilling the world into perfect meaning reborn. #nature #photography #animal #insect

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

The scoundrel president is a traitor not only to his own country, but to every country that aspires to live without oppression from other tyrannical scoundrels.

“The terror you inspire and the pride of your heart have deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill. Although you make your nest as high as the eagle's, from there I will bring you down,” —says the Lord. Jeremiah 49:16

“Surely, then, our present sufferings are all too well deserved. For had we not allowed outrages to go unpunished on all sides, it would never have been possible for a single individual to seize tyrannical power.”

“The reason why these disasters have descended upon us is because we chose to make ourselves feared rather than liked and loved. And if this could happen to the entire Roman community, because of its unjust imperialism, what lesson should individuals draw for themselves?”

There is no form of legal justice or retribution commensurate with this degree of evil, and the people responsible only pretend to believe in a religion that would rightfully send them to the darkest pits of hell. Dante himself would author an addendum.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

These people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.

"It has forever been thus: So long as men write what they think, then all of the other freedoms- all of them- may remain intact. And it is then that writing becomes a weapon of truth, an article of faith, an act of courage." ~Rod Serling
