Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Really not trying to downplay the seriousness of journalists being arrested for doing journalism but the DOJ clearly did this for content purposes. It won't stick legally. It'll do numbers online though. The engagement will be tremendous.

Donate to Support Single Mother of Two Obtain Freedom, organized by Holly Andersen On January 26, Liliana SolΓ­s, a single mother of two children, went to her … Holly Andersen needs your support for Support Single Mother of Two Obtain Freedom

My neighbor, a single mother of two in South Minneapolis, was abducted today and everything about it is heartbreaking. There is an immediate (and steep) financial need for lawyer costs.

I know there are so, so many of these right now, but please consider this dear family: gofund.me/9516b14f7

We Must Establish The Run Against Authoritarianism It's the little stuff that add up to victory over the bad guys

Establishing the run against authoritarian rule, as @edsbs.bsky.social says, requires the little things, the acts of resistance and kindness and community that eventually add up to something much larger and transformative.

I wrote about it for BadFaithTimes.com.

Do not donate to the DFL. Donate to a GoFundMe for rent or immigration fees, donate to a food shelf β€” use your dollars to help the community, not the state party apparatus. The DFL isn’t gonna save us from ICE. We are all we have
