Mom to one human, two dogs, many plants. Don't be put off by my lurking, your posts are much cleverer than mine would be. Avid reader of novels and menus. Overworked, overcaffeinated. Horrified by my own handwriting. It's a good day to fight the system.

"To put things into perspective: I had a Canadian passport, lawyers, resources, media attention, friends, family and even politicians advocating for me...Imagine what this system is like for every other person in there"

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Last week it got down to -35° in International Falls. Yet Donald Trump appears to have just halted the bipartisan program that keeps folks’ heat on through the winter.
LIHEAP isn’t the *woke agenda.* It’s life or death for many Minnesotans.

You don’t have to send a long email to your representatives to get through to them. In fact, brevity is the answer.
Can you write to one of your representatives today? Especially if you have a Republican Rep. Take a stand today. And don’t waste much time on them. Be the opposition.

“We’re obviously in a bit of disarray,” a Democratic senator told Semafor. “I don’t think people are really completely sure about what lesson is to be learned in this election.”
“Give us a little time,” Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin also said. “This is brand new.”

NEW: Inspectors general say Trump's removals may be illegal since they fail to comply with 2022 law requiring 30 days notice to Congress
WH will likely argue this is unconstitutional, but it will be a fight
