Catherine O’Hara might be my Judy Garland, in that her death amidst the current barrage of injustices could be the thing that pushes me over the edge to start actually rioting. Rest in power, Ms O’Hara.

Constant grief has warped my sense of time so badly that I actually had to google whether Pretti had been murdered last Saturday, or a week before that. It didn’t seem possible that I’d felt so many things in so few days.

I read the letter and she said no such thing. Yes, she demanded voter rolls, but she said nothing about ending the surge. The letter makes it clear that ICE will continue regardless. I’m honestly not sure which is worse though.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

“I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened.”
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

“We were willing to do for this man, this human, what they were not willing to do for Renee Good”
Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.
ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

It’s a fucking toy store.
DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Two days after an ICE agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, a federal agent asked an observer, "Have y'all not learned?" Her phone was taken and she was briefly detained.
Two days after that, another federal agent said, “You did not learn from what just happened” to a different observer.
