Organizers in Minnesota have transformed crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. On Thursday, those organizers and MN leaders will share what they’ve learned so we can all be better prepared to organize and protect our neighbors from ICE and CBP deployments: www.crowdcast.io/c/reimagine/...

The numbers speak for themselves
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I joined many Minnesota doctors, nurses, and caregivers at Orchestra Hall for a vigil organized by WeCare to honor the life of Alex Pretti. He will be remembered for his deep compassion for veterans and their families as a VA ICU nurse.

When big banks charge 24% or 30% interest on credit cards, they are not engaged in the business of "making credit available." They are involved in extortion and loan sharking.

Yes, we need to cap credit card interest rates at 10% and stop Wall Street from ripping off Americans.

Senator Bernie Sanders calls Wall Street credit card practices "usury" as major banks profit from 24% average rates while borrowing at 4% from Fed.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Shaboozey, and Olivia Dean all took home #Grammys, and all took a moment during their speeches to speak out on behalf of immigrants or call out ICE as the Trump admin’s brutal and deadly immigration crackdown continues.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch.

But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

The anthem we need
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
