Students at one of my local high schools walked out today in protest of the federal government’s use of ICE. I’ve also seen many walkouts shared from all over our country-say whatever about our younger generation but these kids are calling out our country & express it accordingly #thekidsareallright

Co sign. I’m finding solace in creating. And hope.
Whether you draw, or paint, or compose, or mix - whatever form of art you choose to create, make it exist. Bring it to life. Create it in a tangible form that can be enjoyed.

It need not be perfect. It might need work. It might serve as practice. It might even remain unfinished.

Just create. 😁

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification?

Is this right?

As I try and grasp more of the unconscionable actions of ICE within my country today it’s also a good moment to listen to this book for hope and humanity. #mourningforminnesota

We see you…..
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Feeling verklempt right now for Minnesotans, tbh.
It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

Vance on why a 5 y/o preschooler was detained by ICE: “Well, I'm proud of the fact we're standing behind law enforcement. The 5 year old was not arrested. His dad was an illegal alien. So the story is that ICE detained a 5 year old -- what are they supposed to do?”

Donald Trump spread lies and conspiracy theories to his followers to make them believe the 2020 election was rigged against him, then incited an angry mob to attack the U.S. Capitol to stop the election certification.

These are Special Counsel Jack Smith’s findings.
