I’m hearing from sports/cinema cognoscenti that FIFA has already decided to give Melania Trump its “BEST ACTRESS” statuette. It looks like an Oscar, only the head is a tiny soccer ball. And they charge the recipient over a million dollars (up-front).

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good...
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies.
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.
An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.
Melania was our inflight movie. People got up and left.
Amazon’s MGM studios spent tens of millions, but the documentary is projected to make just $1M in its first week.
This comes as a new report from Rolling Stone details serious labor issues and two-thirds of the film’s staff requesting not to be credited at the end of the film. trib.al/Clr03cD

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.
We need to reform immigration detention.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them
Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.
It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov, are you really putting Senate Dems in the position of justifying the existence of ICE? That's not leadership. It's madness considering that the majority of the country has moved further left than you. Get out of the fuckin' way already.
