In this very detailed fantasy it's dark and super quiet, and it's also like a spa, where they give you nice food, green tea, gentle exercise. Open windows with white curtains blowing, and the only sound is waves crashing on rocks (cuz maybe we're in Scotland or something.)

My daughter (who has a 4-month-old) and I discovered that we both have the same fantasy: a hotel where you go just to sleep. Itโ€™s simple, quiet, and comfortable, they have thought of everything, and take good care of you. So now I have to ask whether all women, mothers or not, have this fantasy?

I think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

ICE must be abolished.

Guys they are really, really not winning

It sucks what theyโ€™re doing to our country, and my city especially

God only knows how much damage theyโ€™ll do before theyโ€™re stopped, much of it irreversible

But they are very much not winning

๐ŸšจCAUGHT ON TAPE: a clip going viral shows Greg Bovinoโ€™s orders to ICE agents in Minnesota, saying โ€œthis is OUR fucking cityโ€ - and pushing mass arrests. He promises โ€œtrailers of that shit,โ€ meaning tear gas.

This is why people are dead. Share this everywhere.

All This Stuff is happening but Iโ€™m also reading a mystery novel with my 9yo and he was like โ€œI want to read books like this always, I wish there were more books like this!โ€ And I got to tell him mystery fiction is a thing that exists

So it took the murder of a white man carrying a legally registered gun for personal protection to finally make some Republicans wake the fuck up? The murder of Renee Good wasn't enough I guess because she was a woman and gay. I'll take victories where we can, but none of this shit is ok!!!!!!!!! ๐Ÿคฌ

Here's the thing, Greg โ€” free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

DHS: โ€˜Trust us, he was no choir boyโ€™

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noemโ€™s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
