Another moment here that matters is when he asks about people putting themselves in harms way. I mean, yeah, Minnesotans are willingly putting themselves in harms way every day. Because the alternative is to let our neighbors be harmed without pushback.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

One of the things that has amazed me is how easy it has been to find the helpers. I'm about to give birth and can't be on the front lines, so I looked for people I could donate to, neighbors we could organize with. Helpers were everywhere and ready to accept anything I could do!

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

I need help: decades ago Minicon was held in a Sheraton that used these pillows. We have two, only one pillowcase, all in bad shape. But they are the pillows my son wants. He’s autistic. Consistency really matters. And I can’t find them for sale anywhere. I’m hoping the internet can help!

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview. Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.
Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10

She’s in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview.

The 45 year old wife & mother has been moved between facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada. 🧵

They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape. 

This is why we call them concentration camps. 

There’s no due process. Some people go in and never come out.

Let’s be clear: All the bad shit in this bill—the big cuts—is just normal GOP shit. This is what the GOP has been aiming to do for decades. Cruel? Yes. Pointless? Yes. Unpopular? You bet! But the party wholly serves wealth and corporate interests. So gut social spending and cut taxes for the rich.

I found Barrett’s concurrence particularly maddening, in that her reasoning is, essentially, a suspect class that is one that has been historically discriminated against in law, and since they haven’t been in the past, it’s okay to do so now.
