Black people make up 13-14% of the US but more than 50% of the Americans who’ve lost property through eminent domain since World War II are Black. And Congress is stripping away environmental and legal requirements that previously delayed or derailed projects like this. That's disparate impact.

No, Governor Walz, we do not all want immigration laws to be enforced. We don't want a 'lawful, peaceful deportation campaign'. That is a *mythological common ground* that wins elections but obscures the nature of detention & deportations & consequences for our families, friends & communities.

Abolish ICE. Defund the police. Listen to Black people. 🙅🏾‍♀️ lynching. Mr. Pretti was on his knees & agents had him restrained. An agent shot at him at close range, immediately firing 3 more shots. Another agent unholstered his gun & fired at Mr. Pretti. Then the first agent fired even more shots.
