If anyone was wondering, the ~23% reduction in ICE agents in Minnesota apparently doesn't include the ones down the street that are lurking, now as I type this, as vulnerable folks are getting their kids to the school bus this morning.

We cannot rest until ICE is gone, entirely.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

i literally can’t understand how rich people keep their money. giving people money they need to stay fed and housed is the most amazing feeling.

i wish everyone of you that have donated got to experience the gratitude of the people you are helping.

one of the reasons I think it's hard to believe Catherine O'Hara died is because she was this super rare combination of both poise and chaotic energy and so she didn't seem to have a physical age; she was just oscillating between 40 and 17 and 60 at all times.

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

Younger kid's whole middle school walked out today in solidarity with Minnesota. Apparently there were 13 year olds getting up and making impromptu speeches. They didn't prep a chant in advance, so they settled on "F*ck ICE"

S.O. kept telling immigration agents that he could show them his ID if they simply asked for it — they ignored him.

“My ID was in my left pocket the entire time, and they would not let me present it.”

We’ll see the Trump administration in court.

if you are looking for a place to give a few bucks today please think about b.resale in Minneapolis. the shooting yesterday happened in front of their store. they are staying open as a refuge. they’ve been handing out free supplies for ICE watch for weeks.

A windchill of around -30F didn’t stop what organizers say was 50,000 from marching through Minneapolis in one of, if not the largest, march in Minnesota history.

Protesters demand accountability in the killing of Renee Good and removal of the federal agents that have upended daily life in MN.
