I feel this, so I donate and March and I will vote. Oh, how I will vote. There is one thing age has given me that the young folk don't have. I realize time washes away all, and he is about fifteen years further down that sewer drain than I. When he goes, the rest will all scatter like roaches.

Get a site with electricity and bring an orange extension cord. There's no escaping the wall of the wild.

Kinda like the look a child might have in their eyes when being trafficked, held against their will and threatened by someone more powerful.

Why children? What is the reason? Of course, the answer is clearly hate. This must end.

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:

I would also like to mention Goya and Monet. In fact, if you count not just physical but mental idiosyncrasies, there are probably more famous "disabled"artists than there "normies." By definition, you gotta be outside the norm to create what has not been created before. The opposite of A fucking I.

Van Gogh...clearly too disabled to paint. Ditto Frida Khalo.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

I just want to say that not seeing evil in real time does not make you evil no matter how much you are told otherwise. Thinking you see evil but not being sure doesn't make you evil, either, but do speak up. There is a ton of grey area in there, but one thing is certain. Doing evil is fucking evil.

You can't prove it because it never happened. The GOP just lost. You look fraudulent in the face, though, Mr. Johnson. Really, really sneaky lookin' guy.
