One of the new goals of the far right is to make it harder for women to vote. The SAVE Act, which the Senate is debating now, would be a major vehicle to achieve that goal. Spread the word about why we need to stop SAVE.

Brilliant writing (as usual) from @AMJohnston1315 Categorizing a terminal diagnosis as chronic is misleading and unhelpful. Magical thinking indeed.

There’s been several articles recently labeling Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) as a chronic disease sponsored by and including various non profits. Ironically none of the articles I’ve see…

Liam and his Dad walked out of Dilley detention center last night. They should have never been there in the first place. Thanks to your voices and outcry, they are now free.

Attorney for my colleague and friend Don Lemon has released a statement saying Don was arrested by federal agents in LA last night. This is outrageous and cannot stand. The First Amendment is under attack in America!

Unconscionable.
The continued detention of 5‑year‑old Liam Ramos is a moral failure of staggering proportions. We’re watching a government justify the unjustifiable: the incarceration of a child who poses no threat to anyone. We cannot normalize this. We cannot shrug. We cannot scroll past it.

That’s because her narrative doesn’t fit theirs
Wow. The woman who recorded Alex Pretti's shooting tells @andersoncooper she has still not been contacted by anyone in the federal government as part of its investigation.

Thank you Bruce Springsteen for “Streets of Minneapolis,” a powerful tribute to Renee Good and Alex Pretti and to the strength of the people of Minnesota.

Alex Pretti, a registered nurse, was killed in a horrifying shooting at the hands of federal law enforcement. We ask all nurses to visit https://t.co/brSe939K7j to send a letter to your members of Congress. Let them know that nurses demand immediate action.

In Minnesota, scores of ordinary people are bravely looking out for their neighbors, defending their communities, and protesting lawless violence. They are the best of America. Here's how to stand with them.

Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

This week’s reflections move between survival and creativity, memory and meaning, and the moral clarity required to stay present in difficult times. https://t.co/8jBJn4NF2M with @letlifehappen @amjohnston1315 @feistybluegecko @crosserriddle @bethlgainer @nancyspoint

What is happening in the Twin Cities and the Great North Star State is heartbreaking to witness. These events have cost lives and shaken families — and we must call for accountability, transparency, and protections for all people. This moment demands that we reflect honestly on

"House Democrats should get themselves to Minneapolis. Immediately. They should be on the street themselves...They should be standing in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis. Demanding the attention of every American to what is happening" https://t.co/72Q3WEGt1u

The stakes in Minneapolis are higher than even the participants may realize.

It was an incredibly weak and disappointing statement.
More than 60 CEOS of Minnesota-based companies just put out an open letter “With yesterday’s tragic news, we are calling for an immediate deescalation of tensions and for state, local and federal officials to work together to find real solutions.” https://t.co/J4fr25dvlq
