Protest in Seattle Today
I am planning to go to Seattle later for a May Day demonstration to support immigrants' rights, as well as workers' rights. The demonstration will also protest racist policies. And I will demonstrate for the cause that all people ought to be treated well. After all, all people are part of one human family. So, considering that, it doesn't really make sense for us to fight, nor to do harm to each other.

Detention Center
The following is a comment (edited for clarity) that I left on an article about a protest against the Northwest ICE Immigration Detention Center.

I think that the ICE Detention Center is a symptom of the deeply diseased nature of our society.
When some people are willing to put others down for the purpose of economic self-interest then there is a problem. People are willing to exploit each other - and there is a fundamental violence that exists at the roots, and in the heart, of our socio-economic political system.
The Detention Center is an outward manifestation of what is a culture of cruelness, meanness, hurtfulness, exclusion, fear, and exploitation (etc.). It's a culture that permeates to the roots and heart of this society.
