We are facing a humanitarian crisis here. Each passing day we learn of new neighbors who haven’t left their homes and have fallen through the cracks. Lots of people aren’t connected to mutual aid networks. Just terrible suffering caused by the federal government.
Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...
A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.
Today is International Holocaust Rememberance Day. 18 members of my family were murdered in Nazi concentration camps. I want to remind my fellow Americans as our country unravels that survivors' slogan is NEVER AGAIN. To quote Michelle Obama: "DO SOMETHING."
Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
After just a few short weeks, our effort to impeach Kristi Noem is already close to success. You did that.
Now let’s keep up the pressure. Tell loser Mike Johnson and the rest of the cowards in Congress we’re not stopping until they finish the job:
Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.
Greg Bovino is just like an abusive priest. They simply transferred him to a different parish.
During this retreat by the regime, the respite from violence, cruelty, & racism, the PRESSURE cannot stop!
The architects of these horrific strategies must all go! Not just the Bovinos, it must include the Noems, the Millers, the Homans, they all need to go!
Real accountability means they all go!
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Holy shit.

OUTRAGE GROWS AFTER LATEST FATAL MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTING…
ALL DEMOCRAT & REPUBLICAN SENATORS NEED TO VOTE TO DEFUND ICE W/OVERWHELMING BIPARTISAN COOPERATION, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DO NOT SUPPORT THIS VIOLENT & CRUEL ATTACK ON THEIR COMMUNITIES!

May Minnesota's business leaders someday find the courage of our high school journalists:

To my friends and followers in the healthcare community:
If you get a patient no matter who they are, and you don’t treat them to the absolute best of your ability you need to quit.
Now.
You also took an oath.
Don’t you EVER forget that.
EVER!
I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...
Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans.
U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties.
Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed.
This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda.
It was always about cruelty.
You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:
If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.
Trump is now gloating about meeting with Russ Vought of "PROJECT 2025 Fame" to apparently determine which "Democrat Agencies" he wants to cut during a shutdown.
Remember when Trump denied knowing about the authoritarian playbook and many pundits and politicians gave him a pass?
