This is an inspiration for a really phenomenal piece of writing FROM me.

There’s an old adage about not mocking people who mispronounce words; it generally means they learned them from reading.

I have a granddaughter and the most lovely daughter-in-law.
I will never understand the jealousy of women who believe their children owe all their loyalty to their mothers.

I don't know how I would react if I felt my son were being incarcerated unfairly.
I cannot imagine how families whose children or spouses, or parents feel regarding their "collection" by ICE!

In a Minnesota town, Emily, a nurse who treats many immigrant patients, can’t locate a patient who just had a test result that shows they might have cancer.
The patient was recently detained by ICE. Situations like these have forced the clinic to adapt.

Q: Why has the president changed his mind on the Gordie Howe bridge?

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

If your Republican reps support giving Trump unchecked power over tariffs or elections, call them immediately and tell them: Congress holds the power — don’t give it away. Don’t let Trump do whatever he wants. The vote is tonight!

just an update from when we talked to the reporter: we’ve now successfully connected over 100 families for direct, peer to peer rent adoption. we’ve collected and immediately distributed…a lot.
it is a drop in the bucket, but all of this is. everyone is just doing what they can.
