When discussing how terrible war is, can we please omit any reference to the damn stock market and gas prices? Can we focus on humans? Can we discuss how this destabilizes and traumatizes while killing and maiming people? It is disgusting that people are defaulting to financial cost to prove war=bad

Been thinking about the 1997 Iranian film "Children of Heaven" lately. A truly beautiful, moving movie that everyone should watch. Especially today. 💔 "“Children of Heaven” is about a home without unhappiness. About a brother and sister who love one another, instead of fighting." - Roger Ebert

"Children of Heaven" is a beautiful movie that takes place in Tehran, Iran. A moving story of a brother and sister who cooperate and a father who works hard to take care of his family. Watch this before you talk about bombs - www.dailymotion.com/video/x98w5tm

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

For those keeping score at home:

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

NOTE: when an immigration judge issues a final deportation order, the I-205 signed by an ICE officer allows ICE to detain that person for deportation, but it does not allow them to enter a home without consent. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/can-...

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Statement from Portland, OR, Mayor Keith Wilson following today's unprovoked attack by ICE on peaceful protesters. The image is an excerpt. The full letter is available at www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

Only in the USA is it possible for a pedophile to be president.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

If you work at DHS and know the identities of the CBP officers that murdered Alex Pretti, my Signal contact info is in my bio. I’ll keep you anonymous.

“Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them.” Watch this powerful message from Jon Stewart.

Abolish. ice. 💔

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

You can't keep lying to Americans, no matter what their political affiliation is and tell them they're not seeing what they are seeing. It's goddamn indefensible.

A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping others, murdered by a man who has dedicated his life to hurting others.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

"What can Democrats actually do?" - Vote against funding for ICE and DHS - State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law - Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE - Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

Liam Ramos, a preschooler ICE detained the five-year-old Minnesota boy as he returned home from school and transported him to a detention center in Texas.

Please take a moment to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose H.J. Res. 140. A short call, email, or message saying you care about clean water, wilderness, and public lands really does matter. If people stay quiet, this will pass quietly. If enough of us speak up, it doesn’t have to.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

“.. foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% of the burden of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering their prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.” 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

This Minnesota family put their children in a car specifically to get them away from a chaotic protest They even TOLD ICE what they were doing Agents blasted the car with flash bang grenades and tear gas anyway It was so bad that their 6 month old stopped breathing and wound up at the hospital

A mother in Minneapolis rushed to perform CPR on her 6-month-old baby after federal immigration agents deployed a chemical agent near her car, leading all six of her children to be taken to the hospital. This isn’t the first time kids have been on the receiving end of ICE's chemical weapons.

Considering the need to make stickers for car windows that say "passengers may include non verbal autistic person who is unable to follow instructions and has erratic movements" Sad that this isn't just in case of collision or accidents but to proactively protect my child #disabilities#ICEthreat

Netflix show "Chef & my Fridge " is amazing... Thanks for the inspiration. Here is my creation (although it took more than 15 minutes) Lean turkey burgers with gochujang, soy sauce, mushrooms & spinach (egg & bread crumbs as binders) seasoned with garlic & onion, top with everything bagel season

While in Chicago, I took a tour around the Obama Presidential Center. I can’t wait for you all to visit in June 2026. Here’s a sneak peek:

Here's what I was up to yesterday evening:

Let's be clear. The term "barely legal" refers to 18 year old, who while at an age they can consent are still very young and vulnerable and not an appropriate age for a grown ass man to date to have sex with. Not being statutorily illegal doesn't make it right or even okay. #barelylegal #epstein

My teenager switched the language in #HollowNight to Spanish as away to improve his vocabulary, and I'm here for it. Also, smart move to make his mom think of video games as an extension of homework. Smart kid if I must say so myself. #bilingualism #Spanish

Your daily reminder of what current leadership is doing....

TSA & air traffic controllers could all walk out tomorrow, and the shutdown would be forced to end before the end of the week...
