It’s a Washington Children’s Choice Picture Book Award nominee and I read it to K-7 last week. It resonated with every grade level but especially with the 7th graders who also learned about the BAFTAs in current events. Thank you. ❤️

Meet the Minneapolis Punks Fighting ICE People in the DIY music scene are using the community organizing tactics they learned by putting on shows to battle ICE.

In the greater story of Minneapolis’ resistance to ICE, one chapter absolutely belongs to the punks organizing at every level. They’re observing, fundraising, running supplies, opening their spaces, coordinating, etc.

A story for @rollingstone.com. Thanks to everyone who spoke on the record.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

What it's like to see ICE tear gas kids Attendees at a Portland, OR protest describe a vicious, unprovoked and sudden attack

New — I spoke to eight people who were present at the ICE protest on Saturday in Portland, Oregon when federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd of families, children, elderly and disabled people, and their pets.

These are their stories:

“Dear ICE agents - I hope you’re respectful to everyone and show kindness… we should treat all people the same, even if we don’t know them.”

If this doesn’t shatter your heart you don’t have one. 💔

Our kids are watching. 🇺🇸

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Knowing ICE has brutally attacked protesters-beating, shooting and even killing them

Minnesota showed up

Knowing they could be arrested by federal agents at any time

They showed up

In -8 degree weather

They showed up

Because they are horrified about what Trump is doing

Heroes

One and all

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.

He is five years old. He has the same name as my now-adult son. They used him as bait for his father—who does not have a deportation order. His family did not know where he was for nearly 24 hours.

He is five. Years. Old. He probably says “I’m this many years old.” He has a cute hat.
