What a photo!
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Elections do matter.
This is how it’s done! @abigailspanberger.com’s first act as Governor of Virginia is to repeal Glenn Youngkin’s executive order that mandated state and local law enforcement cooperate with ICE.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

They’re trying to deport witnesses to a murder by ICE guards
The Trump administration is seeking to deport two men who provided accounts of the Jan. 3 death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at a Texas detention camp that differed from the Department of Homeland Security’s description of the incident.

That was likely the Bills’ last best Super Bowl chance. It was a heck of an opportunity squandered - KC and Mahomes were out of the playoffs. If not this year, when? As a Packers fan I can relate

My unsolicited advice for Dems that'll help instead of the centrist, feckless, overpaid corporate consultant BS:
1. Promise to tax the rich
2. Don't support Israel's genocide
3. Criticize ICE & refuse to fund it
4. Don't throw "the woke" under the bus
5. Run on affordability AND accountability

People tend to think of MN as flyover-land, where we are referred to as MN Nice and our weather sucks.
But that’s not all. We are a tough, fiesty lot. We are not giving in to ICE or to a Mango colored impersonator of a President. We will stand up and fight for what’s right. And that time is now.

“Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE” is a sentence that shouldn’t exist.
My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

This is actually the really simple story of the collapse of American democracy. You can explain America’s constitutional collapse in a single coherent sentence:
The Founders assumed that Members of Congress would jealously and zealously guard the powers and prerogatives of their branch of government against the grasping of an overweening Executive, and instead we got this supine GOP majority that yearns to lick the boot.
I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.
