Given the dangerously cold weather in Minneapolis today (-17f), I worry that corporate media will downplay the strike since a lot of folks wouldn’t wanna march.
This makes the 250 solidarity actions being held around the country all that more important.

Worth noting that among those participating in ICE/DHS watch in Minneapolis today — who Emmer appears to frame as “chaos agents” here — are literally hundreds of clergy.

Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.

Jack Smith is clear, calm, and measured in his responses to the overly-dramatic Republican posturing. Visually, aurally, and textually…I think honest Americans who are paying attention will know who to believe.
JACK SMITH: “I have seen how the rule of law can erode. My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it.”

Dear US Military,
As a person of faith, I believe in peace. Unfortunately we do not have it in Minnesota, because enemies within are threatening us and our allies. Please protect the people who cannot protect themselves.
I ask you to uphold the Constitution. Our government has not.
Thank you.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.

“ICE does not operate in isolation.”
In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.
Opinion: Hotels Have a Constitutional Right Not To House ICE Agents
The Third Amendment prohibits the government from forcing people to “quarter” troops. ICE is essentially a paramilitary force—so why would hotels let them stay?
