We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

ACLU sues DMV for not releasing records pertaining to ICE - The Nevada Independent
In the Thursday lawsuit, the ACLU said the DMV had failed to turn over correspondence between the agency and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in response to multiple public records requests since February 2025. After sending a formal demand letter through the Nevada Attorney General’s Office, the Nevada DMV turned over heavily redacted and incomplete documents.

The tyrant’s face is not just one. It’s built from all we’ve left undone. So if you seek the world made new, Begin with what is clear and true. Not all will hear, not all will see, But some will wake and that sets free. One spark, one breath, one sacred stand, Reclaims the soul, reclaims the land.🇺🇸
