I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.
Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,
Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.
A number of people from out-of-state have been opening tabs at small businesses—coffee shops where people on patrol can grab a drink and warm up, bars where people can be in community, etc. It’s been a deeply appreciated form of solidarity and helps the businesses closing tomorrow.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Years ago, my mom invited her pastor to preach to me. But when she heard him tell me she'd have to cut ties with me if I didn't accept Jesus, she was like, "Wait—what?" Given the choice, she chose me. I wish I could say the same for the rest of my family.
DOJ investigating whether Denmark lied on its Greenland mortgage.
Turns out, everyday Americans can be braver than I ever gave us credit for.
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold.
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
For the union makes us strong.
Solidarity forever,
for the union makes us strong.
Screenshot of an AP article on the conviction of Judge Dugan.
Genuinely curious. Why is AP saying Dugan "falsely" said an administrative warrant was not sufficient grounds for arrest? Isn't it by now common knowledge that a judicial warrant is required for the arrest of an undocumented immigrant who has not committed any crimes?
In case y’all thought the boycott was going to be boring.

This is how it works: We protect each other, period. These are our neighbors, our friends, our family. We do the things we have to do to ensure that as many of us can make it to tomorrow as possible. Not everyone does. I need you to understand that we tried.

Can we make the ballroom top priority for the rest of them too? Miller, Noem, Hegseth, etc.? They could make it a reality show for HGTV, and it would be way more fun than the one they've been doing since January 21st.
From left to right: DJT, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Melania—or, rather, a huge purple hat above a black dress that we assume to be Melania. The hat is so huge there's no sign of a face or neck. A caption reads: "Ok, who put Melania in 'sleep' mode."
This lampshade hat has just what Melania's is missing: a window.
I don't think I'll ever be able to hear that chopping sound again without getting a chill.
We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.
Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.
Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.
Maybe education will have to change so that all assigned reading and writing happens under supervision, and I know from experience that—depending on how it's set up—this could be a wonderful communal experience.

Democrats don’t understand their job isn’t to explain to turn and explain to the audience why they’re the good guy, it’s to be the good guys and let the audience cheer for them
