In the tradition of Donald Trump’s political terrorism, just a different type. When will we call him out for what he is doing?

Me: I think there's a nest in the gutter. Husband: I don't think so. We have gutter guards. Me: I think the birds can slip under them. House sparrows: 😉 👍 #sparrows #nests #cloggedgutters

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

Seeing lots of people expressing concern over the second-degree murder charge in Minnesota. This is the highest available charge- the Minnesota statute is unusual and there is nothing odd at play here.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

VETERAN: “This is why they can’t wear masks. Because people like this exist… if you want to snatch people off the streets, do it in uniform, and show your damn face.” (@MarshaBlackburn’s Secret Police bill criminalizes transparency and threatens 5 years for naming an ICE agent)

This is just some of the damage I found in the garden today. I used that critter repellent spray, but it rained so... A fence is now in the budget for next year.

I was literally dumbfounded when he won reelection. I realized that it wasn't just stupidity, but also racism, hate and misogyny. There is a portion of this country who will never vote for a woman, no matter how qualified she is.
