the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

Folks, it’s bleak out there. But here is something awesome: the Community Support Fund paid $12,500 in bond to free two VAians from the horrors of detention this week. What is less awesome is that we have two new applications that we can’t fully fund because we are now out of money. Can you help?
