Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Hannah Arendt perfectly explains how authoritarianism works.

This is a hard era. But I'm buoyed today by the lessons so many emphasize:

* It's unhelpful to be aware of and outraged by every horrible thing

Sometimes, we'll despair. But these truths will help

damn, dude
