The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country.
But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things.
I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

The GOP’s new Voter Suppression bill, the so-called “SAVE Act,” would disenfranchise many of the 69 million women who took their husbands’ last names, as explained in my summary.
It proposes *no penalties* for erroneous voter purges but potential *prison time* for erroneous registrations. WTF?! 1/

Annoyingly, this doesn’t specify what exactly is happening. But it sure seems like DHS filed a “motion to pretermit” the asylum application. Which it is doing in countless cases around the country.
There’s been a little reporting on this; there needs to be a bunch more. I’m working a piece myself.

My family was imprisoned behind barbed wire and armed guards by our own government.
Not for what they did. But because of who they were. I was born in that internment camp.
My family history lives with me every day. It drives me to fight for my neighbors—for their rights and for their dignity.

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed:
“The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”
