I recently met a insane conspiracy theorist here who believes that the Minnesota protests are billionaire backed. He unleashed his crazy and I said "It's 5 autistic theatre kids on Signal. I've done similar organizing for community events for free. Also I too am a WineMom™️". His crazy melted...

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district.

I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them.

ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.

An ICE agent shoots and kills Renee Nicole Good. No charges. No accountability.

But Black elected civil rights leaders like Nekima Levy Armstrong, peaceful protesters, and elected officials in Minnesota are targeted. This is political retribution and a weaponization of our justice system.

Yesterday I went back to Broadview for the first time since being federally indicted to stand in solidarity with the hundreds of people who braved the cold to speak with one voice:

Abolish ICE.

Trump thought he could intimidate Minnesotans and that we would react with riots. Instead, we showed up with compassion, resilience, and strength.

We showed the country what real resistance looks like.

A hill I will die on. It is extremely rude not to respond to emails in a work context.

It's also rude not to eventually reply to emails or texts in a personal context if they are from someone you know.

It was not "domestic terrorism.” It was state sanctioned violence.

A family will forever live with the pain caused by the admin's reckless and deadly actions.

Abolishing ICE is not enough. They must be held accountable.

I think if anyone’s trying to understand what the big downside is to the USA abandoning the pretext of law and just bullying countries to steal and get what it wants, the historical analogy is the emergence of Imperial Japan.

The Wyoming Supreme Court just ruled to protect abortion rights! They struck down the state's two abortion bans (yes, two).

I'm so thrilled for the people of Wyoming, but also for all of us—because the decision could actually help abortion rights everywhere.

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking.

It exposes that much of the world has been cowed.

Most notable exception: the Latin American left.

That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

A global system where ‘the strong do what they can’ leads the populations of countries to react by supporting more extreme leaders for their security but this sadly increases conflict.

The post-WW2 rules based system was intended to counteract this dynamic
There are many, many people still viewing world events like today's through an ideological prism, as if the Trump regime has coherent or principled worldviews.

The sane among us realize Trump could just as easily "capture" the Canadian Prime Minister next month, on a whim.
