I am disgusted and outraged by the attack on Rep. Omar tonight while she was doing her job & meeting with constituents.

Let’s be clear: nonstop hate and dangerous rhetoric from Trump & his allies has fueled this type of violence.

I stand with Rep. Omar. I stand with Minnesota. This must stop.

Today, Rep. Castro and I visited precious Liam and his father, Adrian, at the Dilley Detention Center.

My heart absolutely breaks for Liam, his family, and every person being wrongfully detained.

I just visited Liam and his father. I also met with countless more children and families who have done nothing wrong and should not be detained.

Damn

As Americans we need to self own our hateful past and present

We use “Nazi” for ICE b/c we learned propaganda, not our dark history

If we did, we’d all know that the Jim Crow inspired Hitler

This is why Critical Race Theory was attacked so feverishly

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Speaking of Jane Goodall, my favorite quote by her:

“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

Page after page of DHS agents too ashamed to be pictured doing their job isn’t actually sending the power signal Pam Bondi thinks it is.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

An extraordinary document. Read it.

“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Pam Bondi is not the nation’s attorney general – she’s Trump’s fascist enforcer.
A federal judge called out Bondi for posting photos of protesters on social media and calling them “rioters.” There’s no presumption of innocence or sense of justice in the Trump dictatorship.
