A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Like so many of us, I *clearly* remember watching the violent attempt to overthrow democracy, live, in real time & unedited on TV after reading, hearing & seeing months of clear, intentional steps toward that goal on this day.

It's been five years since Trump tried to overthrow the Constitution.
What unfolded over the five years that followed will be remembered as one of the greatest failures of American institutions in our history.

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

If this happened to a conservative organizer, Republicans would make her a hero, a household name and a congressional candidate.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

Reading the Maduro “indictment” I’m suddenly reminded of WHY Gitmo existed and Obama didn’t shut it down.
It’s because you can’t KIDNAP people, based on “evidence” you violated rights to obtain, and bring them to trial in U.S. courts.

Watching my daughter grow up without evangelical religious trauma is breathtaking.
She’s not scared of a hell, or a god who would condemn her to everlasting torture, and she’s never heard of a rapture. Growing up without that fear really does something good to a young person.
