If you put 3 common grocery store items in front of him he wouldn’t have the first clue how much any of them cost. He has no idea whatsoever what life is like for 99.99% of Americans. Worse than that is that he has zero interest in finding out because he doesn’t care.

Donald Trump declared you can't be a Democrat and a person of faith. It's ugly, horrible, hateful, and divisive.

The president's mission is to divide and inflame this country.

He wants an America where people are fighting and hurting each other. He wants chaos.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

I believe that Christians like me—and people of faith more generally—have a responsibility to stand up to the extremists who use religion to divide our society and undermine our democracy.

This is so sad
"A document that once made me proud of all the places I’ve traveled is now a badge to prove I belong," writes columnist Laura Yuen. "It speaks volumes that a person like me is scared — somebody with so many privileges, including my perfect American English."

"Aren’t you scared, too?"
Yuen: My parents thought we had made it. Now we carry papers.
Living under ICE’s crackdown has changed how some Minnesotans of color, including U.S. citizens, move through the world.
