And damn ICE for hiring many bad people.
Renee Good’s last words were, “I’m not mad.”
Alex Pretti’s last act was trying to help a woman ICE agents had shoved.
Damn, Minnesota. You sure do make good people.

We honor Dr. King not just for what he said, but for the steadiness he showed in uncertain times.
He believed moral clarity matters most when the country feels divided.
That lesson still applies. 🤍

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino marches through Minneapolis surrounded by federal agents, shouting at American citizens.
This isn’t about deporting “the worst of the worst.” It’s about deliberately sowing fear and chaos in cities that oppose the Trump regime

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

Affordable Care Act subsidies are about to expire leaving millions unable to afford health insurance.
This is an excellent time to start wearing a mask.
Keeping yourself and your community healthy is an act of resistance.
