at the ICE protest tonight in Portland, after we all got gassed, I found what I thought was a zippo pouch. It is in fact a medicine bag, in the indigenous use of the term. I only opened it enough to find that out.
If you know who belongs to this let me know and I can get it back to them.

Huge swing to the Democrats in a deep red seat.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.
Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.
With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.
Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

In Texas, the early vote and Election Day vote hasn’t tended to be as dramatically different as we’ve seen elsewhere. We’ll known more soon; stay tuned.

Wow, buckle up.
The early vote just came in Tarrant County, and Democrat Taylor Rehmet is up 56% to 44% in the special election for a Texas state Senate seat.
This is a seat that went for Trump by 17%. This would be a huge upset.
This is already 45K votes.

It's simple: the DHS bill isn't going to pass if its lawlessness isn't reined in.
Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.

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.

ICE causes another death. Whether immediate, or delayed a month, it’s their fault.
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.

I'll say again: some Americans have been trying to silence this history from the very beginning. Yet it's also true that—while Washington was still alive and every time after—other Americans criticized him and reminded the public of his legacy of slavery. We've been arguing over this for 250 years.

The personal stuff — the “warts and all” that kept his family from cooperating with Eig — serves to make him even more human, more relatable. He was needy. He was depressed. He was an absent father and unfaithful husband. It makes his achievement even greater. It’s easy for saints to do good.

They are making the choice daily.
He gave the “I’ve been to the mountaintop” speech the night before he was killed not because he had some premonition or vision but because but because people
had been threatening, and trying, to kill him for more than a decade… but he kept at it. There are people right now making the same choice.
