Saturday at a rally and march in honor of Renee Nicole Good.
I stayed on our local Mom for Liberty, Beth Bourne (of Harassing-Hawai’i-Drag-Queens fame) to prevent her from following and harassing other marchers and families.
How she reacted still surprised me.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Thread: I first learned about Jesse Jackson in 1984 when he ran for President of the United States. My dad was all in. It was probably the first election where I could understand what was happening, so I didn’t have a pre-conceived notion that a Black President would be unusual or surprising.

This is a prevalent attitude among white Democrats. Allow me to point out that fighting for the rights of Black Americans and women has been going on for more than 5 or 10 years and we’re still nowhere close to equality.
Do NOT ask the trans or any other marginalized community to wait.

ICE doesn't ever "leave" any state. There will continue to be ICE and CBP enforcement actions as there were during previous presidents. Hillary Clinton was saying this in her remarks. She doesn't like the visible violence but she is fine with "regular" violence.

It’s easy to think you’re a genius when you know nothing about other people’s accomplishments or the compass of human knowledge.
Bro it’s wild how all these geniuses just don’t read books. Like just unaware of basic, obvious counterarguments as they parrot fifth grade level white nationalist agitprop.

Imagine having a soul so small you see people’s love for themselves and each other as a threat.
I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
What a moment.

The moral cowardice these days is A LOT.
“It seems our university leaders cannot even say that it is wrong to murder a former student in broad daylight because some people might disagree,” geography professor Kate Derickson
Faculty, students push University of Minnesota to denounce ICE and killing of alumnus Alex Pretti
It illustrates the complex balancing act for colleges and universities in responding to ICE actions.

They're literally running out of lawyers in a state where the district judges are practically at war with the administration.
BREAKING: 8 more U.S. Attorneys in MN resign from Trump’s DOJ in protest as backlash grows.
This isn’t normal; isn’t routine reshuffling. It’s a rebellion.
Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

If I got paid for every time I had to credential myself, I’d probably make more money.
I think a lot of men genuinely don't understand that women HAVE to credential ourselves in these conversations ("I say that as an organizer with over 20 years of experience").
Most especially in discourse about male-coded fields, organizing being one of them. We get dismissed outright if we don't.

There is a case to be made that any board of a university that signed an agreement that required paying a fee has breached their fiduciary duty and I think somebody should explore it
The Trump administration is no longer trying to get cash from Harvard as it seeks a settlement. At this point, the White House seems happy to get a signature on anything they can call a compact.
