Wasn't one of the key MAGA talking points that we shouldn't be handing out participation trophies? And now he's celebrating a Nobel Prize that someone else won and put in his hands (and he looked happier than he's been in years)?!?
I mean I *knew* that the whole plan was for Machado to go to the White House and physically give Trump her Nobel Prize and yet I still feel like I’m disassociating that it happened.

It’s like ICE stealing that kid’s phone and selling it. No responsibility, no law, just greedy violence. But on a massive scale. As though McKremlin consultants were explaining how to do it.
The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

And the grim irony is that carrying your papers isn't enough either. Multiple reports have confirmed the ICE practice of rounding up people in groups and ignoring their offers to show their papers on the spot, then holding them for hours or days or even transporting them to distant places. /2

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.
