I keep seeing complaints that Julie Gonzales (senate candidate from CO) isn't nice. First of all, this is only ever a complaint about women. Secondly, many of the complaints about Hickenlooper boil down to him being too nice.
We're sending people to stand up against Trump, Thune, Miller etc. I

ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point.
When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Flipping your voter registration from Democrat to Independent won't "teach Dems a lesson"

In Colorado you need to be registered Dem by February 7th to participate in the caucus (how we get candidates on the ballot).

Hit pieces being put out about Jasmine Crockett right now are undermining getting a Democrat into the Texas Senate seat at all.
There's a solid chance she wins the Dem primary, and then all these people tearing her down are going to do what about backing her as the Democratic candidate?

Of course we need verification of Sascha's story at some point.
But you as a private citizen get to choose to believe or not, and that is separate than a guilty verdict.
I haven't seen one other survivor say SR is full of it, or any of the officials who are familiar with the files.

I used to do advocacy and case management work with homeless youth 12-25ish. I routinely worked with kids who have seen the worst humanity has to offer. Sascha Riley's story is absolutely believable.
I was in New Mexico where we regularly had missing children.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

I got both the flu and Covid vaccine today. I usually wait until a little later in the season because spring seems to hit me a little harder.
This flu is making people incredibly ill, and filling up waiting rooms and hospital beds. There's still time to go get vaccinated!
