Thank you, Representative
Join me Friday, Jan. 30 at 4:00 PM at Veterans Park in Napa for the STOP ICE Day of Action. We’re demanding accountability and an end to dangerous DHS enforcement tactics after federal agents killed Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good.

Political violence is unacceptable
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Friends, we can learn from Minnesota.
Minnesota hotdish culture prepared them to stand with their communities ❤️. (Hotdish is Minnesotan for casserole). Consider organizing neighbors and friends for a hotdish potluck to find strength in community & prepare nonviolent resistance when time comes.

Plenty of heroes to nominate. I think @governorwalz.mn.gov is a good symbol. I too am damn proud of Minnesota
Some thoughts:
1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.
2. History professors are qualified nominators.
3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.
4. He would be so mad.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.
The Feds are pretending to shift tactics (sidelining Bovino) in order to get DHS funding passed.
ICE is murdering non-violent community members. Renee Good's last words: "I'm not made at you." Alex Pretti's last words: "Are you okay?"
Call your Senators. Tell them to vote no on DHS/ICE funding

No compromise on ICE-I called Schumer's office today at (202) 224-6542, Jeffries at (202) 225-5936, and then @foushee.house.gov Tell them we lead strong leadership and no "reforms" or we're voting them out of office

ICE and border patrol are not making our communities safer. They're terrorizing our communities. The Senate needs to stop funding for ICE, Kristi Noem needs to be impeached, and ICE needs to get their asses out of Minnesota.
