Families Belong Together. Amid extinction and kleptocracy, Saturday was spent marching for a most basic human right. Ridiculous. But Republicans have gone all white and nationalist, so...

My best friend is a citizen He's strong, he's earnest, he's innocent My blood brother is Malala A Polish butcher, he's Mo Farah He's made of bones, he's made of blood He's made of flesh, he's made of love He's made of you, he's made of me Unity!
