Putting a stop to Trump's cruel immigration policies. STATE OF WASHINGTON ATTORNEY GENERAL BOB FERGUSON.

David, After I led a coalition of 18 states challenging the Trump administration’s cruel family separation policy more than a year ago, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to immediately stop separating families and reunite those who had been separated. But as we have learned -- President Trump is still separating families at the border. “The ACLU said that more than 900 parents and children, including babies, have been separated by U.S. border authorities since U.S. District Judge Dana M. Sabraw... ordered the government to reunite more than 2,700 children with their parents more than a year ago.” [NPR, July 30, 2019] President Trump continually demonstrates a blatant disregard for judicial orders and for basic human rights. The president’s unconstitutional and inhumane acts at our border keep getting worse. People’s lives are at stake. The Trump administration has created a humanitarian crisis at the border -- by separating families, keeping children in cages, and allowing inhumane, cruel conditions in detention centers. Immigrant children have been held for weeks without access to basic necessities like clean water, toothbrushes, showers, soap or a place to sleep. President Trump’s reckless policies only exacerbate the suffering of people who come here fleeing violence, seeking refuge, and trying to build a better life. This is not what America stands for. President Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda needs to be stopped, and Congress has been unable and unwilling to take action. But Democratic attorneys general are stepping up to take on Trump’s unconstitutional immigration policies -- and we’re winning. Our team is still in court fighting to hold the Trump administration accountable to the law and put an end once and for all to family separations. This fight isn’t over. I won’t stop challenging the president until we end this callous, inhumane, and un-American policy. Bob DONATE

PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT BORDERS assumes universal enfranchisement and  
emancipation as a goal, so that all people may participate in the  
generation and discussion of philosophy. Its only requirement is that  
the cultural products shared, whether they may be philosophy in the  
strict sense, being the continuation world’s history of philosophy  
from all parts, including western and eastern or any other philosophy;  
or whether they be other thought provoking cultural products including  
conversations, serious or humorous writing, the visual arts, crafts,  
multimedia, and future art, so long as they contain real philosophical  
thinking.

By “real philosophical thinking,” we mean thinking that is unhindered  
and not self-censored by subservience to any so-called philosophical  
authority or canon, aimed at least in some way at generating,  
elucidating or commenting on philosophical ideas; and respectful of  
the assumed universal enfranchisement and emancipation of all people  
and therefore communicating in a spirit of love, peace, and  
understanding – not hate, conflict, or vilification.

PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT BORDERS belongs to a radical phase in the  
philosophical project that flowered in the period of western culture  
which has become known  as the Age of Enlightenment,  occurring mostly  
in Europe during the 18th century. The ideas of the Enlightenment  
undermined the authority of the monarchy, church, and state, paving  
the way for subsequent emancipatory political revolutions in the cause  
of freedom from oppression of any kind. Radically enlightened  
philosophers have existed in all cultures and all ages, readily  
recognised by their support of unrestricted reason and universal  
respect for human dignity as the two primary vehicles for creating  
understanding real and imagined worlds, and for disseminating the idea  
that disputes and conflicts can be resolved or avoided by means of the  
search for logically-guided, evidence-based truth rather than personal  
beliefs, creeds, mysticisms, or other oppressive, mind-enslaving  
ideological constructs.

PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT BORDERS is a safe haven for thinkers to explore and  
warn against the incursions against radical enlightenment by abuses of  
greed, power, control, oppression, obedience, censorship, hate,  
derision, bullying, xenophobia, nationalism, feudalism, group-think,  
enforced zeitgeists, and other crimes against and limitations of  
humanity. PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT BORDERS in this sense can be thought of  
Enlightenment Redux, not just a passing phase, but the underlying  
principles of all humane activity. Radical enlightenment opposes  
oppression by complacency, stupidity, and evil, which persist all  
around the world, not only in despotic regimes, but also in supposedly  
enlightened ones, mostly as a result of an obsession with  
self-interested competition and the possession of coercive power,  
rather than on mutual aid and constructive cooperation as the bases  
for rational human activity.

LCV ENDORSES JENNIFER WEXTON.

David, exciting news! Jennifer just got the endorsement of the League of Conservation Voters. They recognize that she’s been a staunch defender of the environment during her time in the Virginia legislature and in Congress and that her seat is crucial to maintaining a majority that can act to protect our land, air, and water for our children and future generations. When she was in the State Senate, Jennifer sponsored legislation that would expand consumers’ access to community solar energy, mandate quicker reporting on hazardous spills in Virginia waterways, and broaden the powers of the Department of Environmental Quality to go after polluters. In Congress, she proudly voted for the Climate Action Now Act in May to affirm the House’s support for the Paris Climate Agreement. But Jennifer’s progressive environmental stances and outspokenness have made her a top target of Republicans. She already has a top-tier opponent who will be a rubber stamp for a pro-polluter agenda. The Republicans’ House campaign arm spent over $5 million on this district last cycle, and we know they’re gearing up for another expensive race. Your support will help Jennifer withstand their attacks and continue to champion the environmental agenda we need. Thanks, Team Wexton
