Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Not a “paid protester.”

Not an Antifa battalion commander.

Not “bussed in from out of state.”

A registered nurse at the VA who broke no laws and cared about humanity.

Murdered by the Trump Administration.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.

They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Donald Trump will not be remembered as the president who ended 8 wars,
because he didn't.

He will be remembered as the most moronic 'world leader' in all of history.
That's what people will remember.

I was just on a national call of more than 2500 faith leaders from many traditions, united in our support for the people of #Minneapolis and against #ICE unlawful activities there and around the country. They ask us to NOT SPEND ANY MONEY today, to call our Senators to stop funding ICE, and to pray

Greetings from Kyiv,
where power came back early this evening (not at night, as usual).

Such a joy to wash my hair not at midnight.
Just sharing this so you don’t take anything for granted.

Now, time for a warcoffee. Blessed small things.

Tom Suozzi represents the NY-3 district on northwestern Long Island.

If there's any mayor or town council member in Syosset or Great Neck or wherever who wants to make their move, this is the time.

Denounce this vote, promise you'd stand up to the goons, and you'd raise a million in a week.
FWIW:

Golden is retiring.

The filing deadline has passed in NC; Davis is the only Dem running.

The filing deadline has passed in TX; Gonzalez & Cuellar both have primary opponents.

Gillen has several Dem opponents as well, as does Perez.

If you want to primary Suozzi, you still have until 3/30.

The irony of Trump saying all this is about protecting us from Russia and China is that nobody is benefitting from his threats and lies and incompetence on the world stage more than those two countries.

Don’t make the mistake of concluding that because Trump got zero in exchange for his Greenland meltdown that we’re back to square one. The damage Trump did to our standing, security, and alliances was immense and is something he can never undo.

Parker is quite empathetic & gentle in the piece.

Not me. I find the passivity discussed in the piece *utterly damning* -- of US institutions, US leaders, and the US people.

Non one wants to just say it, but Trump has exposed this country as hollow, callow, spoiled, & ignorant.

I am so unbelievably tired of people from outside the US asking why Americans don’t do something about all the shit that’s going on.

We are trying. Many of us are protesting, contacting our representatives, donating to nonprofits/candidates, and sharing resources.

I don’t know what else to do.
