Due to a profound and well-earned mistrust of the GOP, I check my voter registration relatively often. I just did and I'm OK. You can check yours; just search on "check voter registration status [your state]".

I was born in 1976, it's striking that women's legal rights in these matters have more or less only been acknowledged for my lifetime and may once more be curtailed while I'm still upright and kicking if the US doesn't course correct.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings
An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1.	He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2.	He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3.	He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4.	He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5.	He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6.	He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7.	He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8.	He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9.	He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10.	He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11.	For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12.	For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13.	For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14.	For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15.	For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16.	For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17.	For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18.	He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19.	He has … destroyed the lives of our people.
20.	He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

Amazing statement from the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves, I’m guessing in response to the craven press release co-signed by so many local CEOs today (inc the Timberwolves!) calling for the “deescalation of tensions” here but refusing to assign any specific blame or even *mention* ICE / CBP
STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES

IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING
PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY
WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET.
MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS
YOU ONLY WEAR
WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING.

DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS.

DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING."

DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP.

TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR,
LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME,
"WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON."

NOT METAPHOR.
NOT HYPERBOLE.
A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK.

PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK.
PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED.

UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL.
UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE
IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS.

STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM.
STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM."
STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH.

YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE
LIKE A LULLABY,
WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE.

YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO
"HEAL THE LAND"
IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND.

THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS
BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH.

THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING.

THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM.
THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT.
AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT.

IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD.

GROWTH ALWAYS IS.
