From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Cops are thugs, how many more examples do we need?
At some point you'd think all those Fraternal Orders of Police would say "this is demeaning to the vital work we do, part of which is respecting people's rights" but that's not going to happen because they agree with him, to them the job is being a thin-skinned bully and shooting people.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.

Paul was kind enough (unsurprisingly) to allow/suggest we just roll with the #horrorwatch tag for Little Shop, and I think that's great. Join at :40 if you're interested. I hope I see some of you there 🙂

When the synth notes in the score hit... There's a sort of 80s synth music that I love and associate with John Carpenter. The synth notes in this feel closer to Frank Stallone. 😆 #horrorwatch

I’m old enough to remember when the accusation that Biden was suspending school lunch programs in states which violated LGBTQ students’ human rights caused the entire GOP to collectively lose their minds.
The US Department of Agriculture suspends all federal funding to Minnesota, effective immediately.

When the riot cops pull out their batons, it's for your safety.
When they load up the less lethal launchers, it's for your safety.
When they choke you with gas and beat you in the face, it's for your safety.
When they rough ride you, it's for your safety.
It's all for your safety.

State and local law enforcement know the communities they serve. They’ve built the trust and know how to keep us safe.
As Minnesotans express their first amendment rights, I encourage you to remain peaceful and know that local law enforcement has one goal in mind: your safety.

Absolutely insane that my life has become texting with local church pastors to try and find a safe place to hold an emergency meeting for parents at my kid’s’ preschool to figure out how to respond to the federal government kidnapping neighbors.

It is not a coincidence that most of the videos you see of ICE agents using excessive force seem to feature unarmed women half their size. 🙃
