@drannieandrews.com is doing more to combat the measles outbreak in South Carolina than our sitting senator, Lindsey Graham, is. Graham's too busy playing golf and watching the Super Bowl with Trump after Trump's racist post to focus on this.

#OTD in 1968, police killed three students at South Carolina State University during a protest to desegregate a bowling alley. Officers were acquitted, and the state never fully investigated.

My teenager asked me to go see Iron Lung with him, and I'm so glad I did. We both liked it a lot.

A handful of us remained at my small college over one Thanksgiving break. The chaplain and his wife served us all dinner and then showed us a VHS of this movie. That's a special memory. Thank you for the reminder.

They are all Black journalists and Black politicians. Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are journalists. Trahern Jean Crews ran for Minnesota's House District 66B. Jamael Lydell Lundy is running for Minnesota Senate District 65.

I was standing beside my sister's car, suggesting she get something to protect the backseat when she transports her foster dogs. We didn't search online for it, but of course I got an ad for it as soon as I went online.

I'm wondering what they're actually after. Isn't the retention period for the 2020 ballots long past?

I was a college freshman at a small school, listening to music from the larger university radio station across town. A student announcer broke in and read the news in a shaky voice, and I thought she must be wrong somehow.

Moving Bovino out of MN is an attempt to make us believe things are improving, normalizing. They are not. They're holding our heads underwater, then letting us have a little oxygen so we lower our guard. The violence still exists. The concentration camps still exist. Children are still missing.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

Mine was a blue '88 Tercel EZ. No rust (South Carolina, not by the coast) but I drove it until it died. I was on the beltway around DC once in the early '90s, and someone in my car's twin drove beside me for a while. I miss that car.

A bruise is internal bleeding. I suffered "internal bleeding" loading my work bag into my car this morning.

Eyewitness account:
Good morning,
My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction.
I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend.
As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it.
We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday
