I can't get over the counting of bullet holes. I know that as a Black woman, I don't get to be incredulous or disbelieving. I'm supposed to be jaded. After all, Sandy Hook and Uvalde didn't move them.

Still, I'm shocked. Disgusted. And angry.

And no, they are not monsters, actually. They are men.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Don't have a lot of friends, especially ones I see regularly. Was lucky to work with one. She got fired yesterday, undeservedly.

So it fuckin goes, I guess.

On to Jordon's next cheerleading competition
A stunner from @dvnjr.bsky.social and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

ICE does not need more training. They’re doing exactly what they’re trained to do.

Democrats cannot vote for a single cent to ICE.

Japan has delivered a large batch of generators to Ukraine. For Ukrainians, that means light in stairwells, heat in hospitals, working refrigerators for medicine — small things that quietly save lives during blackouts. Thank you, Japan. 🇯🇵🇺🇦

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.
