A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

While Gregory Bovino and the two CBP officers who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been pulled out of Minnesota, that is not justice. All three were immediately sent back out on the street in another American city to terrorize, and possibly even murder, more Americans. Congress needs to act!

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

PSA: it’s going to be warm enough to chop ice (like actual literal ice) for another hour or two before the temperatures go below freezing and stay there. If you still have ice on your sidewalks or walkways, do your neighborhood pedestrians a solid and clear the way while you still can!

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges. Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.
