By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Harriet Tubman risked everything to free 70+ enslaved people & never lost a passenger. In the face of authoritarianism, we honor her courage & resistance. Freedom isn’t given—it’s fought for. #BlackHistoryMonth #HarrietTubman #Resistance #Democracy #NeverAgain #FreedomFighter

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

THANK YOU. And, yes. Always. And, that's absolutely part of the point. You (generally) don't need to look. But, you can — and should be able to do so. Sources that don't give you that option are failing to do proper journalism in this moment. www.lawdork.com/subscribe
I don't always look at the links, but your determination to always provide them with your commentary is worth the subscription on its own. I know of no more reliable provider of the primary sources.

Folds on the Kennedy Center 3 weeks ago: I was sick to my stomach when I quit because I knew they were going to run it into the ground. No one that they were appointing had any experience in arts administration, but that was never the point. The point was to take that, run over it, and move on.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

Target called the police on peaceful Minnesotans today, telling us we were on private property.
But when ICE comes to brutalize and abduct people in their stores, Target says it’s public space and can’t stop it.
Target needs to decide - do they stand with Minnesotans, or masked abductors? #ICEOut

The Trump Admin just arrested Don Lemon for daring to do journalism in the Trump era.
Don is a friend and colleague. He’s a fearless truth-teller and good person.
This is an outrageously authoritarian attack on the First Amendment. It’s intimidation. We all have to stand up.

The federal presence in Minnesota has been especially tough on our local businesses.
Choosing to shop local, grab takeout, or visit a neighborhood store is one way we can stand with our neighbors and continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.
