Nothing special, just muddling through. I provide occasional pithy comments.

I would assume any man driving this to be undercompensating.

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just β€œcried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

BTW, our state Republicans just shot down a bill to fund fraud investigations in the state. Minnesota no longer has the tools to do what Vance is demanding. Coordinated sabotage.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as β€œpulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

Christian Nationalists are treating the Epstein files like they treat their Bibles and our Constitution: They are *ignoring* them.

Brendan Carr (FCC Chairman) spent the entire Biden admin claiming Biden would force TV stations to cancel interviews critical of himβ€”and we’d have fascism

Last night Brendan Carr forced CBS to cancel Colbert's interview of James Talarico

Yesβ€”fascism is here

History teaches us that the greatest harms often begin with the quiet acceptance of the unacceptable. I have seen where that road leads, and I will not walk it again without resistance.

Nooo, we *need* the 18 month election cycle funded by wealthy elites to get their toadies in place to serve only them. Because, um, freedom? Yeah, that's it.

Inside the ICE Detention Pipeline for US Citizens and Residents: From Minnesota to Texas

Including worms in food, sewage water flooding into eating areas, returned to Minnesota in chains and shackles after courts order release, more.

Josephine Baker understood what dignity looked like. She imagined a world that refused hierarchy and hatred.

Artist. Activist. Humanitarian. She believed in a world without borders.

Black History. Always. πŸ–€

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.
