My heart goes out to you . The insanity you grew up around was a miracle you turned out so great . Now you are watching the insanity happening to the rest of us . Your writing is our lifeline. Thank you

Out with Homan, too. This is like replacing the bad with the worse. Let’s demonstrate against him. Trump thinks he is immune and that we are ignoramuses and he can shuffle things around at his whim.

Thank you Mary for being crystal clear. Your language is essential- unequivocal, searing, and true.

Mary, I'm sure you remember when NYPD used to shoot people who were holding phones in their hands because they weren't sure what the people had. You don't see that anymore--NYPD knows the difference now. Is ICE so stupid they don't? This really suggests they don't have any kind of experience or training. Letting this kind of person loose on the streets with deadly force & complete immunity is insanity. We have to stop crazy people from running the government!

Yeah, the border patrol agents are the victims. See Jenn Budd's latest post, which includes a photo posted by a border patrol agent of a man and a child drowned in the Rio Grande. The caption talks about "clean floaters." Border patrol has been like this for a very long time.

Would like to see a defamation lawsuit from the Pretti family and civil suits filed by those who have been severely harmed.

We also need the Democratic Party to get out and start listening to their constituents Now ! How much more bloodshed has to continue to get them to do what is necessary for our democracy .

What steps are our leaders taking to ensure free and fare elections at the polling places so ICE agents don’t disrupt ?

We can all be proud of Minnesotans for standing in the face of this threat this evil this hate for Americans for humanity the constitution for our rights .

Yes for the moment this is a win though for Stephen Miller who says the CPB may not have been following protocol is doubling down after not being included in a damage control meeting.

However I guarantee you that the slightest scintilla of an opportunity Donald will ratchet up the cruelty to lie another day .

We must continue to fight.

The hypocrisy of the Whitehouse making Kyle Rittenhouse a hero, after he crossed state lines with an assault rifle and killed two protesters, should be highlighted every time they try to spin these Minnesota atrocities as domestic terrorism and that (legally) being in possession of a holstered gun at a protest justifies getting killed
