I just called my senators and representative. Calling for a no vote on the budget without more oversight of ICE. It feels like nothing, but my rational mind does tell me it is infinitely better than nothing. Still feels like nothing.
Call your Senators. Today.

Congress cannot and should not fund a government that is acting like a paramilitary force and violating people’s constitutional rights.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

The fact that Democratic leaders are trying to triangulate exactly how much they should support ICE so they don't upset hardcore boot lickers is honestly messing with my head a bit.
It goes without saying that in the US you’re not supposed to have a masked secret police that snatches people off the streets without knowing if they’ve committed a crime. That’s about as basic a requirement for a democracy as exists.
Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Now they are leaving because “no longer lend our credibility to an organization that has lost its integrity.”
