Melania was probably relieved.

Whoa! More authoritarianism.

Not new news.

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

For those keeping score at home:

Like Trump, I think he believes his own lies, even if the lies are different on a daily basis. Typical cult behavior.

Why do they ever report anything he says without a caveat about his penchant for lies?

Rep. Kelly Morrison describes 'horrifying' conditions inside Whipple building Rep. Kelly Morrison describes cold temperatures, shackling and lack of medical care inside a Minneapolis ICE holding site after a judge restored congressional access.

Conditions in the ICE "camp" in Minnesota are inhumane. Shame on our country.

You mean the Board of Grift, of course. Sadly, there is no money to be made promoting peace here.

I appreciate all of the thoughtful comments here. So.. I will use concentration camps freely. Not yet there for death camps, though folks have died and are being denied medical care.

I've been thinking that, but I'm hesitant to draw the parallel with the camps in Germany. I don't feel like I'm qualified to do that.

Oh, what an admirable example of leadership. *sarcasm*

I keep thinking of their final (or nearly final) words. "I'm not mad at you, Bro"--Renee Good. "Are you okay"--Alex Pretti. And then "blam blam blam"--ICE goons. 😭

@nytimes.com The unrest is NOT violent, the federal agents are violent. Clashing? They were protesting--loudly, sometimes swearing, but clashing implies a physical interaction. What did your reporters observe? Oh wait, none of the people who contributed to this column were in Mpls. Do better NYT!

A photograph seen once, long ago, haunted me – and taught me to distrust memory | Glenn Patterson Glenn Patterson: When I tracked down a Nazi soldier’s snapshot of an execution, it reminded me how warily you must tread when you try to enlist the past, however good your intentions

This is fake. It doesn't help our cause to spread false info.
