The peaceful marches in Dallas have displayed a community in support of immigrant rights, in opposition to some "out of touch" pundits and politicians on the east coast.

The march reminded me of the recent floods--a great natural force welling up suddenly, shoving aside all the social contraptions and political conventions we had imagined to be the reality.
