I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away.

Surely this kind of thing is a problem for anyone detained, pregnant or not. Everyone deserves food, shelter, the ability to sleep, medical care. These are universal human rights.
A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care.
She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor.
This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

I really hope that whatever happens, the Democratic party can actually learn from Zohran's campaign. But I don't actually believe that they will. It has been heartening to see the groundswell of super, the grassroots people power.
