Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Income inequality is currently at the level just prior to the French Revolution. Drawing on markets as example of how great we’re doing is giving β€œlet them eat cake.” Sooo much is giving β€œlet them eat cake” and I hope the experience of class solidarity trickles to the lower classes.

Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department’s civil rights office has not resolved a single racial harassment investigation.

It sends a message that β€œpeople impacted by racial discrimination ... don’t matter,” one attorney said.

Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention and denied prescribed medication, lawsuit says The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress,

The so-called "pro-life," "pro-family" party is perfectly fine with an 18-month-old child almost dying because of the deplorable conditions at this detention center. Hello?

The President says elections should be nationalized. Isn't that what is done in Russia? GOP preaches "states rights" until things are done they don't like, then the Feds take it over. World's biggest hypocrites.

Trump referring to the first Black President and First Lady in the history of the USA as apes is not a distraction. It is a major news story once again emphasizing how fundamental racism is to this administration and the Republican Party and conservative movement.

And right now media is ignoring.

That is about on time for that to be my kid’s school bus at that intersection. And if it’s not my kid, it’s someone else’s kid (time puts it at either a Middle School or Elementary school bus). The kids are not ok.

New Mexico Senate approves bill to ban ICE detention centers The New Mexico Legislature approved the Immigration Safety Act. House bill 9 bars the state from allowing ICE detention centers.

This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care.

It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back.

That! And I’m on a campaign (of one) to refer to Republicans as Republican bootlickers every time I post about them, or speak about them. The fascist side does this all the time, adds qualifiers, and suddenly, the noun becomes the adjective! Pass it on!

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.

Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

My three-year-old was watching the Melania documentary when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why do the shitlibs hate the nice first lady so much?" And when I told her "Because the woke mind virus has made them knee-jerk liberal partisans," she started crying.

What does #ElFasher look like after months of siege? MSF was recently granted access to visit the city, the capital of #Sudan’s North Darfur state.

Our teams saw destroyed neighbourhoods, emptied communities and a city that now resembles a ghost town: https://ow.ly/xAu650Y7RHT

Public health crisis unfolding in Minneapolis as residents avoid healthcare Providers are arranging home visits and telehealth as neighbors pick up prescriptions, groceries and diapers

β€œIf people aren’t getting their medications and they’re not getting their treatments, they will die.” -- ICU nurse Mary Turner, Minneapolis,

The federal government has created a public health crisis, keeping people from life-saving care. 🧡 ⬇️

I want to let you know about something that happened at Pizza Luce and encourage you to thank and patronize them.  One of the drivers at Parkway Pizza who is a friend of mine told me tonight about something that happened at the downtown Mpls Pizza LucΓ© where his wife works.  
A kitchen manager has been giving rides to workers afraid to take public transportation to work.  Last week, two ICE SUVs pulled her over.  There was a young Latina women in the car and ICE grabbed her.  She is here legally, but apparently, if you are not white, you need to carry a passport or other documents with you.
Despite the fact that she is here legally, ICE flew her to their detention facility outside of El Paso, TX.  Fortunately, the owner of the Pizza LucΓ© chain paid for a lawyer to expedite her release.  Unfortunately, when ICE is forced to release people they have unlawfully detained and flown to Texas, they do not fly them back.  They just dump them on the streets of El Paso.  But again, fortunately, the owner of Pizza LucΓ© paid for a plane ticket to fly her home.  So please thank the folks at Pizza LucΓ© if you have the chance.
Dozens of Minnesotans have not been so lucky as this woman and are trying to find their way back from Texas.  Today's NY Times has a story about "Selamawit Mehari, an Eritrean single mother of three.... federal agents showed up at her apartment in St. Paul...(even though) her older daughter produced paperwork proving her mother was in the United States lawfully, the agents shackled Ms. Mehari and took her away."  The story cites many like her who "were eventually released in Texas, leaving them to find their own way home."

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.

I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
