I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

I pray I live long enough to see these people brought to some kind of justice. I need there to be a hell. Something.
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: ‘She’s never gonna see him’
The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

The Democrats’ non-opposition is really the foundation of the fascists’ power. It’s like a moat of demoralizing incoherence between Trump and the millions of people who would prefer not to live under his dictatorship.

There’s no platform. Just a (D) brand as a foil to (R), a brand about being smart

After many years of reporting and writing, the day is finally here: THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out today.

I poured everything into this book, and I hope it ignites outrage at the fact that so many people in the richest nation on earth have been deprived of one of the most basic human necessities.

UK security forces used force to silence peaceful protesters, tearing the Palestinian flag from their hands as they stood against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza and those complicit in it.

Someone please tell the New York Times, which today listed one of Trump's major 'accomplishments' as a 'fragile ceasefire' in Gaza. What a travesty. There is no ceasefire, as much as American media pretends otherwise.

People keep mistaking genuine horror for politicking.

The people who supported the DOJ under Biden/Trump condone child rape. They defended officials who protected child rapists.

Other people saw this as a clear moral horror and condemned the DOJ. That's the actual divide. It's not between parties.

The silence of the nurses
No nurses have been included in the health ministry’s primary care advisory group. Multiple nurse leaders have written to the minister expressing concern, but have received no reply. Why is the experience of nurses so rarely acknowledged? #nzpol
