Still enjoying those moments that take my breath away. Human traveler, lover of family and friends, world and local community member.

I am disgusted and outraged by the attack on Rep. Omar tonight while she was doing her job & meeting with constituents.
Let’s be clear: nonstop hate and dangerous rhetoric from Trump & his allies has fueled this type of violence.
I stand with Rep. Omar. I stand with Minnesota. This must stop.

This should be a bigger story:
White collar criminals are running free so that Donald Trump can pursue his cruel immigration agenda.
Trump is reassigning federal law enforcement officers who go after rich criminals to ICE.
I’m calling for an investigation.

The Republican agenda:
Terminate the tax credits that make healthcare affordable, creating panic as premiums double. Simultaneously, increase the budget for ICE's violent, often illegal, home invasion tactics.

Civil resistance is not a slogan. It is what people do when obedience props up injustice. Erica Chenowith shows it works. Nonviolent movements win because they scale, split loyalties, and make repression backfire. When a few percent act, power yields.

A bloated and unaccountable department for sure- and where is the GOP on this?
The average ICE agent makes $100k a year, in some cases without a high school diploma, to roam our streets lawlessly terrorizing people. Meanwhile, law abiding American citizens are trying to figure out how they pay for healthcare and groceries at the same time.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities
This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
