“But I didn’t understand a word he said.” Guess what, that’s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

The silence from the game broadcast crew when they returned was cowardly and very, very rude. They didn’t even acknowledge the show or the artist.

Read it all please.
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

This Black History Month remember:
•Human trafficking was legal
•Slavery was legal
•Jim Crow was legal
•US Government paying reparations to white enslavers & not to the enslaved was legal. Prison slavery is still legal.
The lesson: Do not let legality & power be a measure of morality & justice.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

A woman, who I honestly believe meant well, just told me that filler would help, “soften the lines around my mouth.”
Anyway, every single day that I don’t go to jail is truly a miracle of ancestral prayers.

Other agents then pepper spray Mr. Pretti, who is holding a phone in one hand and nothing in the other, and pull him to the ground.
"His concealed weapon was found only after he was restrained on the sidewalk, the videos show. It appears to have been taken from him before the agents opened fire."

Arresting priests for using their #FirstAmendment rights?

Today at Minneapolis St. Paul airport, Minnesotans showed what all of us should be doing nationally—standing up to ICE fascists.
While it was painful to see interfaith leaders arrested for peacefully protesting, I'm grateful that I bore witness to this moment in history. Watch my live coverage.

Not remotely legal. Minnesota needs to arrest these thugs breaking down doors right now, before they start grabbing even more power
