DELAWARE GOV. MATT MEYER: “Haitians, immigrants on Temporary Protected Status are here LEGALLY— history will view (ending TPS) how we look at things like Japanese internment camps.” Families came fleeing harm, many worked in ag for a decade… sent to countries they know little about.

🔥 FLORIDA State Rep. @AngieNixon : “If believing a mom shouldn’t have to work 3 jobs to keep a roof over her head is extreme, call me extreme… Ashley Moody can call me whatever she wants— but in November she’ll be calling me ‘SENATOR’.”
Mycena subcyanocephala, a tiny, bright blue mushroom species, was discovered in the tropical forests of Taiwan.
WOW. New data just revealed that ICE agents arrested 3,800 Minnesota residents this winter – averaging 33 arrests every day. More than 75% of those arrested had no criminal record. ICE agents are not just going after the worst of the worst, and they are not making communities better off.
A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all
We invaded Venezuela, kidnapped their leader and installed a puppet, and are now pillaging the country's resources just like the fascists in the 1930s did, and somehow this has already been normalized and isn't being treated as the crime it is

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Interviewer: "What's your take on how he's framing the economy?" Me: "It's that he's lying."
This is immoral. Trump officials gutted USAID and cut off food aid to refugees. Clinics closed. Warnings poured in and were ignored. Rations collapsed. Children starved to death. 👉🏾Agency staffers even celebrated the cuts with a sheet cake while lifesaving programs were being shut down.👈🏾
The government should not have unlimited access to our private data—here's what Congress can do to rein in ICE's surveillance practices.
More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.
