The world folds into itself.

This is one of my favorite things DC ever did. The Paul Pope Adam Strange strip alone was worth the price of admission

MN's AG: “We will not save our country in a courtroom. ... ultimately, this country will be saved by the people of the United States. And so that — you protesting, you gathering evidence, you sharing it with us, you communicating with us — is action. It’s actually how we’re going to win.”

Some people choose greatness
Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul

Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.

So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

This is horrifying beyond belief.

No one in their right mind can see this and think it is ok. ICE is out of control.

Don't let anyone look away and remind everyone that this Republican Congress could put a stop to this TODAY.

Columbia Heights Public Schools district officials accused ICE officers of using the 5-year-old “as bait.” A 10-year-old and her mother were also detained.

Democrats want you to know that you CAN put a price on freedom and they have several handy charts available to show you what it is

Also, they should not shoot us in the face. I can’t emphasize that part enough. I would say not being shot in the face is even MORE important to me than affordable healthcare
Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress gave $30 billion to ICE.

You know what also would have cost $30 billion? Extending those tax credits to help people afford health care this year.

We should repeal Trump’s money for ICE and lower costs instead.

I shared last month that a descendant of my ancestors' enslavers has been in community for decades with some of my elders we've recently connected with. He's been essential toward uncovering much of our family histories.

My sisters and I wondered at first. But now we get it... and it's powerful.
