Whooo is that? A baby Mexican spotted owl at Zion National Park in Utah! National parks aren’t just for people to enjoy – they also preserve important habitat for wildlife like the Mexican spotted owl, found in Zion’s slot canyons. It’s one of the largest owls in North America and is listed as a threatened species by both the U.S. and Mexican governments. Protecting parks helps ensure these owls have a home for years to come.

I’m not interested in a world where men really want to watch porn but resist because they’ve been shamed; I’m interested in a world where men are raised from birth with such an unshakable understanding of women as living human beings that they are incapable of being aroused by their exploitation.

We shall draw nearer to God, not by trying to avoid the sufferings inherent in all loves, but by accepting them and offering them to Him; throwing away all defensive armour. If our hearts need to be broken, and if He chooses this as the way in which they should break, so be it.

“I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’ Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”

I know what it’s like to be the son of an immigrant. We grew up in a rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn, New York. My mother’s dream, she died very young, but she wanted a home of her own and never lived to see it. But my parents were able to send both of their sons to college. We were the first ones in the family, which is why I I understand the economic stress….Which is why I pledge to bring about a political revolution where millions of people finally stand up and say enough is enough, this country belongs to all of us, not just a handful of billionaires. Thank you very much.

For-profit detention centers force undocumented immigrants to work for $1 a day | Raw Story

The L.A. Times reported on Monday that migrants cross the border into the U.S. then find themselves rounded up into the detention facilities and put to work cleaning, landscaping, cooking and performing other functions that would normally be handled by hourly workers.

The article detailed the case of Honduran migrant Delmi Cruz who was held along with her 11-year-old son at a family detention center in rural Texas. Cruz said she got to work right away when she arrived at the facility.

“I worked immediately,” Cruz told the Times. “In order to have something to eat, to buy treats for my son.”

She made $3 per day cleaning bathrooms, hallways and other parts of the detention center. At the commissary, she could buy her son a bag of potato chips for $4 or a bottle of water for $2. The prison facility is run by Geo Group, which the Times says is the country’s second largest private prison company.

Migrants and their activists are rebelling against the practice and inmates in Colorado and Massachusetts have filed suit saying they have not been paid at all for working.

“We have a name for locking people up and forcing them to do real work without wages. It’s called slavery,” said Carl Takei of the ACLU’s National Prison Project.

Bernie Sanders fires back at Trump’s “wacko” insult

The war of words between Sanders and Trump continues to escalate. After being called out by Sanders on Sunday, Trump referred to the Democrat as a “wacko” in both a tweet and rally speech. Trump may be “feeling the bern” after Sanders forced him to change a crucial economic policy.
