The horrors persist, but sometimes you just have to stop and reflect on certain moments.
This guy with a "LICK MY BUTTHOLE FEDS" sign has been standing on top of his car this whole time.
Confirmed at least one protester snatched by ICE in the chaos.

Working in coordination with standwithminnesota.com, I’m raising rent funds for Minneapolis immigrant families in need. We now have a $5000 match offer (!) and are going to help as many families as we can to stay housed today.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen:
A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained"
But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

there are 3,300 words in this article, including praise for Britt from two Democratic senators, her husband, and her mom. there are photos of her reading to children that might as well be a campaign ad.
zero criticism of her from the left.
