On this President’s Day it’s an important reminder that for the first time in American history the United States doesn’t have a President but instead is being destroyed by a vindictive hateful trashy fraudulent lying diabolical sadistic criminal tyrant and his regime of crooks.

In fact, I love living in a community with thriving immigrant communities. It's nicer here, with them.

This whole thread (from a didn’t-used-to-be-immigration lawyer in Minnesota) is worth reading, but I’m specifically sharing the posts surrounding the one for my many health folks. This is what the resistance against ICE is fighting to save people from.

ICE literally doesn't care who they maim, injure, or kill. The Twin Cities are still a war zone, brought to the innocent people of MN by our own tyrannical federal government. Shout out to the woman in a bathrobe in the middle of winter. We appreciate you showing up for your neighbors.

In Dublin last year, an annoying interviewer demanded of me: “Your country has been overtaken by fascists. Why are you smiling?” I was too jetlagged to have a sensible answer so I said, “I’m smiling because I have a knife between my teeth.” The knife might look like this:

In a win for Trump's mass deportation program, a devastating court ruling now allows for indefinite immigration detention without bond hearings. With ICE looking to scale up its detention facility capacity, people are fighting back.

If you cannot do it with people watching, what you're doing is not "law enforcement," obviously. It is legal to observe ICE, and the people committing "obstruction of justice" here are not the observers. This should be 100000000% obvious.

We aren’t resting until ICE is out of MN. We aren’t stopping until ICE is completely abolished. They want us to bend the knee so they can continue separating families, but we won’t be doing that. We’re going to win, and it’s bc of the resiliency of our neighbors. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

I think it's really important to understand that, while facing an evil and violent government and its corporate overlords who love to hate women (see ICE and the Trump-Epstein files), the resistance is 💯 being organized by women, and the men who actually love us.
