Imagine instead we doubled down on Reconstruction. Imagine those promised 40 acres & a mule fulfilled. Imagine no Jim Crow ever. No red lining. Imagine instead 150 years of integration, education, equal opportunity, black representatives in Congress from 1870’s forward. Imagine.

It was flat-out murder.
Thank God for the patriots of @ICEgov — we have your back 100%. You are SAVING the country.
Shame on the leadership of Minnesota — and the lunatics in the street.
ICE > MN

Cynics and defeatists share the same story as authoritarians do: that nothing is worth trying, the conclusion is foregone, hope is naïve, and attempts to resist are too small or futile.
Don’t listen to them. Do not give up. Try. A better world is possible. We will win. We must.

A veteran whom Alex Pretti cared for in the ICU earlier this month: "It was heartbreaking to see the video. It was heartbreaking to know when I found out it was him. What was worse was listening to Kristi Noem talk about him the way she did."

Trump’s ICE Age
ICE and the administration controlling it represent an embarrassment to law enforcement, the Constitution, and 250 years of the United States.

The nation’s soul is buckling under a vapid authoritarian thrust in the advent of 250 years.

FIFA must move the World Cup from the USA for three reasons.
•75 countries have visa bans preventing fans from travelling.
•Ticket prices are absurd.
•ICE agents present a real and present threat to fan safety.

The Trump administration is disgusting!
Yesterday, ICE raided a home on St. Paul’s East Side. Their target was ChongLy Scott Thao, an elderly Hmong American man.
He’s a U.S. citizen with no criminal record.
Armed ICE agents broke down the door without presenting a valid warrant, entered with guns drawn, and handcuffed him in front of his 5-year-old grandson, who was left crying and traumatized.
This happened in sub-zero conditions, with wind chills near -30°F. Thao was dragged outside wearing only shorts, a blanket, and Crocs and marched through the snow.
ICE then drove him around for nearly an hour, questioned and fingerprinted him, confirmed he was a citizen and not the person they were looking for… and dropped him back at home.
No apology. No explanation. No accountability.
Is this what you voted for?

The U.S. President has taken the wrong lessons from history particularly the past century to 150 years. He bears little understanding of the long game. His apologists and facilitators take our nation & the world toward a Putinism. apple.news/AyJRoQfUvRjmPr-g-…
The Wrong Side of History
Bullies eventually push too far both at home and abroad.
This Resident and his cronies are like juveniles playing a giant #GameOfRisk—rolling the dice with all of our lives and the future of humanity.
Squandering soft power is a mistake. #RealWorld
