Alex Pretti was a neighbor, ICU nurse and community protector.

We need an immediate investigation.

ICE needs to be abolished immediately. Our law enforcement needs to stop tear-gassing protesters—instead investigate and arrest the murderers.

[Minnesota House DFL @mnhouseDFL]

Organizers just confirmed that 50,000+ Minnesotans showed up to march today.

50,000 people. On one of the coldest days in the last decade.

Minnesotans couldn’t be more clear: ICE out now.

What do we notice about this map?

Obviously, these sensors are deployed in communities of color. That much is clear. But let's make some other things clear, too.

Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin coined the term "genocide" in 1943, initiating the Genocide Convention in 1948. The Lemkin Institute warned about the so-called "Gender Critical" movement in November. Things have accelerated since then.
