happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

One of the best actors of her generation. Easily one of the best comedians of all time. As much Catherine O’Hara as we got, it was nowhere near enough.

Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Happy birthday to the magnificent Robert Wyatt. Here he is performing I'm a Believer on #TOTP in 1974. The show's producer asked him to perform in a wicker chair because a wheelchair "was not suitable for family viewing". Robert told him where to go

Through in-person remarks and online comments, Nebraskans overwhelmingly opposed bills that aim to deny in-state tuition to some students just because of their immigration status.

How are you a grown ass man kidnapping children?
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.

"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.
