It is more important than ever to recognize that it is International #HolocaustRemembranceDay. We must always work to prevent genocide and ethnic cleansing.

On another note, today is also one year since my mom died after more than a decade with Alzheimer's. I miss her. #Alzheimers #caregivers

We must keep up the pressure on our representatives to put an end to this, not only in Minnesota but nationwide. The current proposals to reign in DHS and its minions are not enough.

Read this beautiful commentary from Stacey Patton.

Former Presidents Obama and Clinton released statements about Minnesota and DHS.

I take it Bush is painting his and must wait for the paint to dry.

We often hear that Republicans often express horror or disagreement or what have you about Trump and his policies in private. Isn’t it possible that it is at THAT time they’re lying, in order to avoid the personal repercussions of direct reaction? Either way, they are liars and cowards.

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

This this this 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.

The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

Seth Moulton is calling for ICE to be prosecuted in no uncertain terms.

This is becoming a foundational political agreement for anyone seeing to oppose the regime. We need the broadest possible coalition all united about the necessity of caging these fucking monsters.

The entire administration needs to, and deserves to be, impeached. Not that this would ever happen, but they are all violating their oaths of office, to say nothing of the Constitution. The GOP has long been a cult of death and (barely) hidden racism. Now the death and the racism are open policy.

ICE's 3000 arrest quota has been reminding me of the body count that was such a part of Vietnam. Miller's insistence on this number, regardless of charges or who it is, is so reminiscent of McNamara and Westmoreland's insistence on body count, regardless of whether those killed were enemy combatants

Many of the richest and most powerful men in the world are also the biggest cowards.

As someone who has triple citizenship: U.S., Canada, and an E.U. country…I am NOT on the side of the country of my birth. The idea and potential of the United States is incredible, but it has currently abdicated any position of authority. I hope and work for the realization of its ideal.

The most disgusting thing about all these weak, unnaturally wealthy people, is that they care only for themselves. They see the rest of us as either things to be used for their benefit or inconvenient dust on their shoes: unnoticed until the time to wipe them off.

The current timeline is like being on a vomit inducing roller coaster that is also scary as hell, repetitive, and keeps going by a portion of track that becomes more unstable every time you go over it, waiting for it to break and send the car hurtling into the abyss.

This is the worst January ever to attempt to stop drinking for the month.
