A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.
Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.
It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Not all chronic illnesses are life-threatening — but many are life-altering. The impact isn’t always visible, and people deserve understanding and support without having to “prove” how hard it is.

I know this isn’t mainstream America, but I see resilience and brilliance.
It’s gonna get worse before it gets better. And we won’t be able to trust a bunch of our fellow citizens for a generation.
But we bounced back from the Civil War. We’ll figure this out, too.

Talk like this. Plainly. Honestly. None of this “I invite my friends across the aisle to join me”. Treat them like the people they are: unwilling to do anything to help unless you’re wealthy
Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."
