It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

CBP and ICE need to be crushed out of existence. We are going to have a revolution in how we treat immigrants in this country or we aren’t going to have a country.

As a veteran who’s deployed, I know exactly what “in theater” means. It’s a military term for operations in foreign countries. Using it to describe Minneapolis isn’t accidental…and I can’t overemphasize how dangerous that language shift is.

Gov. Walz calls out federal officials who described Alex Pretti as a 'domestic terrorist.'

"Sitting behind a keyboard at 2 a.m. and besmirching a V.A. nurse and a son and a co-worker and a friend is despicable beyond all description."

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Make sure to balance out your righteous anger towards modern society in healthy, productive, and fulfilling ways.

Tell your friend you love them.

Write up positive reviews of things you enjoy.

Go for walks and get some sun, or cuddle up with a pet .

Don't be angry all the time, you'll burn out.

Only 19% of Republicans think shooting women in the face and snatching children on their way home from school is "going too far", in case you still believe these monsters are worth talking to. They're reveling in the atrocities.

Minneapolis has a population of less than 450k so if the estimates of 50,000 marching today are even close then a full 10% of the city showed up. Trump and ICE have no answer if we can get just 10% of us to fight back.
A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

The domestic terrorist organization known as "ICE" is stalking people at food pantries. And following people who deliver food to those too scared to leave their residences to go to those pantries. Despicable, lawless ghouls.
