"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality." - James Baldwin One of my all-time fav quotes.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Hope springs eternal. I like to think last night's Michigan U.S. Senate Dem primary results do mean more folks are gaining political awareness.

These are insane numbers. If El-Sayed wins after being outspent by this much, wow, watch out!

Graduated income tax appears headed to ballot as backers drop off signatures

The ballot measure sets up a potential big-ticket showdown with its push to cap the state’s income tax where it is for many.

She protested ICE raids. Then agents showed up at her door

The Justice Department is using federal conspiracy charges to sweep up ICE protesters. Some legal experts worry the agency is casting too wide a net to prosecute political activists.

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

Honestly I'm not even going to "say" please about this anymore and I'm not alone in that.

I criticize Texans constantly because I’ve never seen a more self-destructive electorate in my life. Their elected officials are all monsters, and Texans just keep RE-electing them. In Texas, bank robbers hold a gun to their own heads, saying, ‘Gimme all the money or I get it.’

Seattle has its own vigilante group that will help you recover your stolen bike and I promise they were 100x more effective than the police and also sometimes the head lady tells you about her farm.

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

“The ICE agents that attacked me followed me by transport in one of their unmarked vehicles to the hospital, and then came into my room with me in a trauma unit while I was trying to be treated."

Police can definitely stalk their ex, but not solve crimes. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

How rogue officers turned a nationwide camera network into a tool for stalking

Flock’s array of license-plate cameras was built to fight crime. But at least 50 law enforcement officers were charged with or accused of misusing it and other systems.

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

The only people who believe the police help with property crime haven't regularly needed the police to help with property crime. If someone suggests police as an answer for theft, carjacking, or burglary I usually assume they've never experienced seeking the aid of police for any of these things.

It really really really bugs me how many people simply do not understand what it means when the government tries to convict you even IF THEY FAIL TO DO IT. Do you know how many thousands of dollars in legal fees it costs? You will most likely lose your job. You might lose your home.

Today's cartoon by Dennis Goris:

Remember when David Hogg was running for DNC chair and the establishment stepped in and said we needed a responsible adult and then gave us Ken Martin, who throws his phone at his staffers? Also the DNC is $2 million in debt. But centrists still demand they should be in charge.

One of the striking things about studying sexual violence is realizing how many people became abolitionists *because* they were victims of crime.

Chicago teen shares his experience in ICE detention centers: I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school in Chicago. I was in ICE detention for 2 months and 10 days. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. They never let us go outside.

I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.
