Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

For the record, I do believe there is a stalking horse approach to taking on the police: it's not training or reform, it's taking a page out of the charter school playbook and creating police alternatives, and gradually offloading various functions of the police onto them.

Don't get me wrong they will kill and hurt a lot of people, but they won't win.

250 years ago today, Thomas Paine published his greatly influential Common Sense, which helped catalyze the American Revolution.

“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”

To recap, Trump held a meeting with oil executives about his big scheme to convince them that conditions are stable enough for them to get involved in Venezuela.

He proceeded to wander around the room and even read a private note Rubio passed to him out loud, thus restoring everyone's confidence.
Kind of crazy how much this was described as “getting up to look at his ballroom.” But isn’t it still just a hole in the ground?

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

A country that blows up foreign fishing boats for no reason is one that will shoot its own citizens for no reason.

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

The stakes have been raised. The Democrats have got to run on putting these people in prison. They have to. Jobs, food, all the rest, but shooting a mother in the head on a public street? None of this Garland stuff. "The full force of the government will be brought to bear" on this and similar.

This would be a good moment for top editors in our major news organizations to call a meeting to announce to their staff that Trump has lost his mind and you don’t have to cover him like he’s normal anymore.

ICE just murdered a U.S. citizen.

This violence is the direct result of racist rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his allies.

This is dangerous state-sanctioned violence. We will not stay silent while unqualified masked federal agents terrorize our communities.

BREAKING: Indivisible calls for the immediate arrest of the ICE officers who carried out the deadly shooting in Minneapolis today, and for full accountability for all federal officials and agency leadership who authorized and oversaw this operation.

ICE has been terrorizing our communities for weeks, and it's resulted in a federal agent shooting and killing a civilian.

What happened in Minneapolis this morning was inexcusable, infuriating, and heartbreaking.

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.

ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.
