The Olympics show us that a better world is possible. We want peace, cooperation, and mutual respect across borders, cultures, and nationalities. We can do this. If we can dream it, we can be it.

My friends at Niemanreports.org asked me to write about the experience of being a journalist on the ground in Minneapolis right now. I knew I wanted to tell reporters elsewhere how even this most hopeless of times has been clarifying and, in some ways, energizing. (1) share.google/ms1wKDQZmgep...

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or in despair, I highly recommend reading middle grade fantasy. An epic story of good vs. evil, where the unexpected hero must be courageous, and in the end wins, is a balm for the soul. Which stories would you recommend? Share them below.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.
It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.

i am really romantic about mutual aid, and seeing everyday folks spring into action over the last two months has made me so proud to be a minnesotan.
simultaneously, the need is huge right now, especially with rent due february 1. this would be a good time to donate if you have the means.

Calling everyone "activists" or "protesters" is as absurd as calling a person who signs up for a meal train for a sick friend an activist. Or calling a person who calls 911 when their neighbor's house is on fire a protester. These are Good Samaritans, friends, and neighbors helping each other out.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I need everyone to understand that this is happening everywhere, all the time here. It's not isolated. Entire communities plan their days around helping neighbors who need assistance. There's no central organizing for it all; it's hundreds of independent networks.
