Two Black electeds attacked in the same week. Seek out and join up with groups in your community that are fighting fascism and racism and xenophobia and hatred. This will be one of our primary jobs for the rest of our lives.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

I'm relieved that Ilhan Omar is okay and that she wasn't harmed (though I'm wondering how security even let that man get close to her in the first place), and I'm also impressed at how she almost ran up to that man like she was about to give him a two-piece and a biscuit.

Holy shit, I made a Downfall meme back when we were renegotiating our CBA that went pretty viral, but this is brilliant. It’s fantastic all the way through, and then the last three seconds sent me into orbit.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

I want Democrats to use every lever at their disposal to shut things down. They have the power to obstruct and gum up the works, the only thing stopping them is outdated norms. People are being executed in the streets and if elected Dems aren't prepared to do dramatic things, they can fuck off.

Tear gassing preschoolers is not a training issue, a leadership issue, or a recruiting issue. ICE, CBP, and DHS are rotten from the ground up, they have been from day one, and abolition is the bare minimum.

FWIW: I *DO* think that reinforcing the requirement of judicial warrants is worth doing. I *DO* think requiring federal agents to identify themselves is worth going for - but no fucking QR codes. Make them register in a public database and wear GIANT NUMBERS on their backs.

Ds could come up with some bullshit like that to force ICE to spend its money on something OTHER than abusing and killing people. They could demand that exact same policy be applied to ICE right now. Yes, they could do more.

You're dealing with a Klansman-like, extra-legal secret police. It will never be legitimate or reformable. The only acceptable "reforms" are physically removing them from our cities and cutting/redirecting their funding.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

It's a quote from a history of the 20th Maine, the regiment that not only held the Union's left flank at Gettysburg but, when they ran out of ammunition, fixed bayonets and charged the Confederates.
