Top 3 things that enter a henchman's eyeball throughout the Equalizer film series, which I recently watched: 3) a thumb, 2) an entire gun barrel, 1) a shot glass.

I'm looking to interview some non-American musicians or bands who've decided not to tour in the U.S. this year because of ICE. Please hit my DMs if you are willing to chat about this decision.

The best part of the WSJ report on Noem and Lewandowski is after every insane scoop the reporters get, they give space for DHS officials to comment and the comment is always "Nuh-uh"

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

It would be embarrassing under any circumstances to spend a year on this reactionary horseshit, but to have spent the year in which graduate students were sent to concentration camps for op-eds and the federal govt launched a no hold barred attack on academic freedom is just beyond

“The Constitution does not permit the government to arrest thousands of individuals and then disregard their constitutional rights because it would be too challenging to honor those rights.”
BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.
"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

So proud to have her as my rep.
Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.
In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

just gave 100! anyone wanna match??
Only $1700 more to help keep seven St. Paul families in their homes. This needs to be filled by tomorrow so their kids can be safe inside for another month. Let's get them there!
I've never posted a GoFundMe before (seriously, not once) but I'll personally vouch for this one. It's a little neighborhood group trying to keep seven Minnesotan families from getting evicted tomorrow. If you can help, please help; if you can share, please share. www.gofundme.com/f/support-sa...
