Just called @heinrich.senate.gov and @lujan.senate.gov. Let's light up their phones, NM skeeps!
🚨 Tell your Senators to vote NO on the GOP’s so-called “SAVE” Act”, which would:
Require continuing voter purges w/ NO PENALTY for erroneous purges.
Subject election officials to potential PRISON TIME & citizen suits for mistakenly registering a single voter—even if the voter is a citizen! 1/

Weird. I dreamed I had a young jaguar, big lanky kitten, about 35 pounds. It kept exploring the dream space we were in, checking out random people. I could pick it up and it would cuddle. Then two bigger jaguars showed up and kitten tangled with them. Had to reach in and pull it out of the scrum.

Murder charges now.
The death of Alex Pretti has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said. Pretti was shot Jan. 24 during a chaotic encounter with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez were named as the two officers who fired at Pretti.

Things DOJ & the FBI did this week:

I have a big request for those of you with Republican senators and reps who claim to be Christian.
Call them up and read them these lines from Matthew 25.
Ask them if funding ICE is worth going to Hell for.
You can find your reps here: reps.fyi

When will he be prosecuted?
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Shame! Shame!
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

I finally talked to my Republican sister about ICE and Minneapolis. Her first response was “yeah, it’s a big mess,” which is her way of avoiding a hard conversation. I pressed with details and asked her to call her congressional reps. 1/2

One of the best concerts I’ve seen. Just her, a Steinway grand, and a synth with some very cool digital toys. Gorgeous voice, intricate piano work, deep lyrics, and great connection with audience.
Looking forward to seeing Vienna Teng tonight. This song seems appropriate to our times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N-u...

Well done, Tommy Brennan and SNL.
While it made it as far as dress rehearsal, Tommy Brennan's Weekend Update desk bit on Trump's ICE deployments in his home state of Minnesota did not make it to SNL broadcast.
But they've made it available anyway. And you should watch it.
