ICYMI: Nebraska is considering a bill that would require K-12 schools in the state to teach anti-communist lessons. Similar bills have been passed elsewhere in recent years. Some say the history is already taught.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

In Gov. Pillen's State of the State, he bragged about restricting abortion access and opening an immigrant detention center while renewing his calls for censorship in universities and ending our system of splitting electoral votes. None of these things make Nebraska freer, safer, or stronger.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.
