Knitters are protesting the ICE siege in Minnesota with red hats, inspired by resistance to Nazi Germany in the 1940s, when “Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of protest against Nazi occupation of their country.”

As a knitter, I am going for the red historical hat. But better knitters can go for the bunny hat too

We CAN do both!

It happened so fast it made everyone's head spin in the legal profession—and no doubt caused the panic that led other firms to capitulate.

It never really made sense.
Paul Weiss was one of the first major law firms to bend the knee to Trump.

And, yup, connected to Epstein.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

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.

Last year, Trump ripped away $500 MILLION from Howard Hanson Dam—critical for flood control, our water supply, & habitat restoration. Pure corruption.

Well, I just passed the funding to get construction back on track.

Don't mess with our water. Don't mess with our fish.

A small note: terrible things are happening in Minneapolis. But also in Saint Paul. And in the suburbs. And though most of the push is in the metro, things are happening all over the state.

I've been trying to refer to the events as happening in the Twin Cities or in Minnesota.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

This is a U.S. citizen.

No criminal record.

No search warrant.

No excuse.

Unabashed cruelty & indiscriminate violence is ICE’s point & purpose.
