A few hours ago the msm unquestioningly repeated the White House spin that Trump had changed his “tone.”
Um, holy shit? This has gotta be up there in the most crass & worse things Trump has ever said

📌BREAKING: Democrats easily won both races in the Minnesota House of Representatives tonight, thus restoring that chamber to a partisan split.
Small victories during this fascist attack on that state and our country ...

UPDATE: After seeing this video, I informed ICE of my intent to visit the Baltimore facility today. I was told I would be denied entry.

It’s clear Trump's ICE would rather engage in a cover up. I will not stop pressing until we get answers. We need transparency & accountability.
Like many of you, I have seen this video, and I'm demanding answers.

My team has reached out to ICE repeatedly and have yet to get clear answers.

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.
Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.

Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

Tonight at the vigil we attended, one high school student said this time reminded them of studying Germany during WW2 and Americans being on the right side of history. He said there are still Americans who want to be that, and they continue to stand up for our rights.

Anyone who sees this -

Call your Congressional Reps today and tell them to defund DHS. Demand it. It doesn’t matter if you think that they won’t care.

It matters that YOU do.

There is no justification for shooting an observer with seven agents holding him on the ground.

What will it take for GOP leaders to say enough?

You can't blame observers. You can't blame Democrats for telling the truth.

The blame lies with reckless ICE officers. ICE must go.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
