Tom Homan is expected to speak today. I will keep you updated on what he says. That being said, until there are no more families being separated and no more agents on the ground, we will need to observe, patrol and support our immigrant neighbors.

This morning, ICE has already been seen across Powderhorn even on foot deploying chemical irritants. It is clear that they are active this morning in South Minneapolis. 2/

Hi, hello, I lived in Oakland, CA for nearly 20 years and I can tell you that OPD, which has been under federal oversight for how egregious their "policing" was & is is chock full of maladjusted dudes with a hard-on for power trips & guns & racial violence. It's not better in Mpls, just more white.

Commonsense: No ICE at all. They didn't exist 30 years ago and don't need to exist in the future.

Same! Iwas looking at my poetry thesis the other day and it's brimming with probably too much punctuation. It was 2005 -- a time of dashes of all kinds.

Does no one GenX ever text her? Because everyone I know who's GenX loves ellipses in text messages!
