Liberation is rarely loud. More often, it is the quiet, daily decision to question, to see clearly, and to remain human — even when the road is long. A short reflection inspired by a passage from Sumud. open.substack.com/pub/billbolm...

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

What drawdown? Just as we suspected, Homan was full of shit. Nothing has changed for the better in Minneapolis.

The Heritage Foundation’s “save the family” plan isn’t about saving anyone. It’s about dragging women back 60 years—shrinking our choices, our power, our futures. We’re not going back. We’re building a world where women are equal

BREAKING from @startribune.com “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s “stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.” This is big news.

A Senate committee is holding a bogus hearing today based on junk science about the abortion pill mifepristone, a safe and effective medication that's the most common form of abortion. This hearing isn't about science — it's about laying the groundwork for banning medication abortion nationwide.

The United Militarized States of America. We are internally at war. The trenches are the neighborhoods. The tanks are the SUVs.

NEW: 400+ civil rights groups and unions just joined our demand that Congress refuse funds for ICE and rein in their behavior. Masked federal agents are endangering our communities and putting lives at risk. Our leaders must act now and defend us from this lawless violence.

If Republicans can defund USAID, which ended human lives, they can defund ICE, which is also ending human lives.
