These are times that feel rife with mourning, for what was and what might be. I have a friend who shared this photo ~12 yrs ago. She had stacked some artichokes on a plate as a decorative centerpiece. Over time they shriveled and blackened into dried husks, looking lifeless and gray…
What Fishback said is abominably despicable for all its implications. Further, Lemon did not ransack a church. 🤬

Liam made people look. Now don’t look away.

We still have children in ICE custody eating bad food, drinking questionable water, living in filthy conditions, and carrying a lifetime of trauma they shouldn’t have to survive.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

This unhinged answer from Cava-Bag-Homan is NOT grounded in facts or truth or reality.

Anyone who told you that things would be "better" with Bovino out and Homan in was delusional.
CNN: How did we get to a place where we had Bovino having Border Patrol agents stopping citizens in interior of the country, asking them ID, creating fear? Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed?

HOMAN: The reason for the massive deployment is bc of the threats & violence

I just visited Liam and his father. I also met with countless more children and families who have done nothing wrong and should not be detained.

Liam Ramos is 5 years old
He lives in Minnesota

He and his father were taken by ICE-and sent to Texas

But not before agents allegedly used him as bait to arrest more of his family

Liam and his dad came here legally. They’re “following the rules”

ICE doesn’t care

YEARS

This is what Machado gave up her Nobel Peace Prize medal for. For Trump to praise Maduro’s former VP even after she says she’s not listening to him anymore. Machado should start shopping for a house in FL, because she isn’t going to be running Venezuela anytime soon or ever. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Q: The president of Venezuela says she has stopped taking orders from you. What do you say?

TRUMP: Well I don't know exactly what's going on there, but I haven't heard that at all. We have a very good relationship.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

This can't be "reformed"

Maybe I just needed a break from doom scrolling, but I watched #Skyscraper Live on #Netflix tonight, and though I knew already that Alex Honnold succeeded on his climb of the Taipei 101 building, it was still a thrill-filled 2-hour watch. For comparison, #FreeSolo was more nerve-wracking.⭐⭐⭐⭐🧗
