Took the kids to a pow wow this weekend. They used to make me sad because of everything they've lost, and everything that we've lost. Now it gives me hope. After everything they've gone through, they still have their culture and they're still fighting. Don't stop fighting!

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The Chicago detention center has refused the Mexican Consulate access to visit detainees

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
Here’s video of the incident

It’s sad that some folks only ‘see the light’ when it hits home. We were sent here to represent hundreds of thousands of people, not just our households.

It’s time for Republicans to remember their oath and do right by the people they serve.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
Meant to take a picture, but I was hungry.

Pizza night was personal pizzas (someone please remind me to buy pepperoni). Mine was white sauce, mozzarella, goat cheese, raspberries, fig jam, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. #omnomnom #pizzanight #findjoy
