I work for a small local government. Today we had on the one hand a resident who was quite irritated that we put sand on the roads because of the rain that was going to freeze overnight. He swept and shoveled the sand off from the road by his house because sand is too messy. On the other hand we had the school bus that slipped and slid and ended up in the ditch blocking his driveway because there was no sand on the road. Noone is happy. #CannotWin #FreezingRain #CallAndComplain

Here's some New Years perspective to start your 2023.

Barbara Walters, Anne Frank, & Martin Luther King, Jr. were all born in 1929. Yet while we were just with Ms. Walters days ago, those two icons are portrayed as ancient history.

But the ideals they fought for weren't in some distant past—they're a contemporary reality we must continue to fight for today. We control that narrative. Let’s keep fighting for that justice in 2023 & beyond.

Remember, "The past is never dead. It's not even past.”

As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.

Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.

Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.

Period.

To those who may be alone this season, ostracized for speaking your truth. I offer you this...

You are not alone.

You are not the only one who has had a family reject them for...

Their sexuality.
Their lack of faith.
How they see themselves.
What they believe in.
How they treat others.
Sticking up for the rights of those who struggle for equality.

This week, you join others like yourself who are brave enough to speak their truth and stand up to the consequences.

Be proud of who you are.

Remember the sound of an old slide projector? A chewing gum machine? A coffee mill?

I am dumbfounded that Jeremy Clarkson's vile article against Meghan Markle ever found its way to print. You can tell me that noone even pays attention to Jeremy Clarkson. You can tell me noone in their right mind would read The Sun. But...Clarkson had lunch with Queen Camilla on Wednesday and his article came out on Friday. Suspicious timing? Kind of proves Harry and Meghan's point, no?
