Protesters Confront ICE In Rhode Island After Raids at State Courthouses
Tue Jul 15, 2008 at 10:09:29 PM PDT
UPDATE #3: So it has been a crazy 24 hours. But what is most outragous is that Col. Doherty of the State Police actually said yesterday:
Doherty said state police will not be conducting immigration raids or sweeps. But he added, "I’ve taken a position that this is not a sanctuary state, and if we find someone who is here illegally or unlawfully, we will notify ICE."
Yet, within minutes, that is exactly what happened.

Republican Governor tries to get me fired over freedom of speech

Is this the start of an "enemies list?"
Sometimes, when I take a stand on an issue, I incur the wrath of people who disagree. Some of the emails I’ve received are not fit for publication on a family blog like this and some of the voice mails have been saved for posterity (and possible court proceedings).
But never have I had someone think they could intimidate me by writing to my boss and demanding to know if I was speaking for my employer 24 hours a day. And never have I had someone write to my boss challenging my right to support or oppose any piece of legislation or government policy. And never have I had a high government official try to get my employer to silence my voice in the public square just because what I say challenges that official’s policy. Until ...

Hillary and the North of Ireland

Much is being made of Hilary Clinton’s claim that she helped bring peace to Northern Ireland.

Friends and Fellow Progressives:
Before I say what I have to say, let me be very clear: this is not a call for so called "party unity." I am not one to say to you that no matter whom the candidate is for the Democrats in November that we need to unify behind that person and work to win the Whitehouse. Nuts to that. I believe what Eugene Debs said many years ago – I would rather vote for someone I liked and not get them in then vote for someone I didn’t like and help them succeed.
