Today at noon, I joined local and state elected officials in Minneapolis to provide a community update on the continued presence and active operations of ICE in the city and the real harm these actions were causing.

As news coverage ebbs but reports from the streets indicate Operation Metro Surge is still surging, I’m surprised there’s not some kind of official report/press conference every day, like we used to get during Covid. Just the best update they have on what happened today? I think I am being naive.

There is a nat'l bill ready to codify protecting sensitive spaces-call your reps to get it done: Senate bill S.455-Protecting Sensitive Locations Act along with H.R.1061. HOSPITALS, LIBRARIES AND POLLING PLACES are in it! If the congress won't do it, let's go local.

chatted with a friend yesterday whose 24 year old son (a super-smart, kind kid) went to work for FEMA about 18 months ago. She said he loves his job and the work, and says it is fairly easy to avoid the politics.

I think about this a lot. I mean, think about the shear number of amazing people who would love to contribute to our country, but can't because they are held down. We have to do better.

We’ve been discussing the Venn diagram of:
1. People who look for superbowl ads to be clever
2. People who recognize capitalism isn’t great for democracy and equity
3. People who are average consumers

Why is no one advocating the the Protecting Sensitive Locations act to be advanced?? It sits in committee. (S.455 / H.R.1061) Current language INCLUDES polling places.

There is a national bill ready to codify protecting sensitive spaces-sitting in committee. SCHOOLS, DAYCARES, LIBRARIES AND POLLING PLACES are in it! Senate bill S.455-Protecting Sensitive Locations Act, along with H.R.1061. Seems like congress might find it helps their PR to move it forward.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time
