In Minnesota, girls sell lemonade on the street to help their sisters arrested by ICE. Stephen Miller’s goons are very much still here. Sign reads, “Please help us raise money for my sisters because they were arrested by ICE” & this has been confirmed by trusted community members.
Obama shouts out "those ordinary people in the Twin Cities who braved frigid temperatures, risked their own safety, standing shoulder to shoulder to look our for their neighbors and sometimes for strangers because they knew that was the right thing to do"
The march is not over. Faith leaders are meeting Saturday morning in Selma at the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
in the afternoon we will take the protest to Montgomery.
This is a National Day of Action and is open to all people who are willing to fight for our rights.
I would like to talk more about how ICE shot someone else yesterday and he is in critical condition! The coverage is really horrifying because DHS is giving a similar story to the one they gave about Renee Good and so much news coverage is just buying it. Please talk about Carlos Mendoza Hernandez.
My Mom passed away last year. For many years I visited her on Thursdays, so we would attend services ( or watch them on/line as she got older) together. Tonight, in her honor, I sat vigil on ICE watch outside a church where a bi/lingual service took place. I think Mom would have been proud.
Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.
Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.
The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.
Got skymiles you're willing to donate to help get detained Minnesotans back from wherever-the-hell ICE sends them? Please email contact@standwithminnesota.com.
ICE is stranding people!

“People say, what is the sense of our small effort? They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time. ... No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do.”

NEW: The unfathomable Minnesota transcript that must be read, as it tells the reality of America today.
"I am not white, as you can see," Julie Le — a government lawyer — told a federal judge on Tuesday. "And my family's at risk as any other people that might get picked up too ..."
Law Dork:
In my community people attend a Spanish language Mass by Zoom and the Bishop has given a dispensation for mass attendance for people who are at risk. Yet reporting on a protest at a church, which hurt no one, is a crime.
Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?
Hello? NRA?
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
200 days into Trump's term, where are we?
In the race between Trump's authoritarianism and efforts to resist it, authoritarianism is ahead. And while there are hopeful signs from the public, the chance of effective resistance is, for now, being fatally undermined by the capitulation of the elites.
Trump the president has been doing exactly what Trump the candidate promised to do.
This steep falloff in support, just five months in, is a sign of some catastrophic failings in our media and education systems.
The American media have enabled Trump’s behavior by how they sanewash every action he takes after the fact and frame opposition as naysayers rather than as messengers of fact. He expects the media to sell his transgressions in the most favorable light
I’ve been briefed this morning on an ongoing situation involving targeted shootings in Champlin and Brooklyn Park.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement are on the scene. We will share more information soon.
Resist means resist. It means you don’t go to his White House picnic. It means you don’t attend any of his speeches. It means you don’t work with him on any legislation. If you truly believe he’s a fascist threat to America, you oppose him at EVERY turn.
Resist means resist.
Over the weekend, someone defaced my Tesla.
I talked about why making EVERYTHING political is dumb -- and why it's driving us further and further apart.
Sending love and support to our transgender service members. Thank you for your continued desire to serve and protect this country. I’m so sorry this pathetic draft dodger has any say in who can defend our country and the Constitution since he has no intention of doing either. 🤍🏳️⚧️
You do swear that you will support the Constitution of the United States and that of the state of Minnesota, and will conduct yourself as an attorney and counselor at law in an upright and courteous manner, to the best of your learning and ability, with all good fidelity as well to the court
with all good fidelity as well to the court as to the client, and that you will use no falsehood or deceit, nor delay any person's cause for lucre or malice. So help you God.”
My dad grew up poor in rural North Dakota, fought in WWII, and got a college degree because of the GI Bill. But he never forgot that black veterans were denied the same opportunity.
A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.
I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

Trump has long admired Hitler. Elon Musk displays Nazi salutes and funds neo-Nazi political parties.
And here we find Republican House Rep. Keith Seif quoting mastermind of the Nazi propaganda machine, Joseph Goebbels.
Yes, Seif casually quoted a Nazi war criminal — during a congressional…
It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful.
Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.
