In case you're wondering what Minnesota Republicans have been up to today at their state convention.

I just exercised my right as a Member of Congress to conduct an unannounced oversight visit of the ICE field facility in Baltimore. The staff I met with respected my right to visit, but what I saw was disgraceful. Kristi Noem has a budget of $75 billion she could use to ensure humane conditions, but we saw 60 men packed into a room shoulder-to-shoulder, 24-hours-a-day, with a single toilet in the room and no shower facilities. They sleep like sardines with aluminum foil blankets. Whether it’s for three days or seven days, nobody would want a member of their family warehoused there. The room set aside for dangerous criminals and violent offenders was empty. We’re demanding immediate answers and action.

Since the Winter Olympics is underway, this is the perfect time to post Surya Bonaly doing her back flip on ice. Judges used to underscore her and I loved that she did the backflip in her last performance before retiring as a big FU to the establishment.

@Ash_Lee_IRL Trans women are the best rebounders and on-ball defenders ever so exciting.

Apparently y'all got basketball skills - excited to see it!

As if Nekima would ever. She is one of the bravest, strongest humans in Minneapolis.

"How can I relax you just killed my f*cking neighbor!? You got her in the f*cking face. You killed my f*cking neighbor. How do you show up to work everyday? How the f*ck do you do this every day? You're killing my neighbors, you're stealing my neighbors. What the F*CK man?"

Horrifying. They let her die there, bleeding out. Her kids' toys in the passenger-side door.

This take is unpopular because it’s real immature, btw.

I’ve literally watched white classmates develop real empathy for Black people because of To Kill a Mockingbird. Fiction can expand how folks understand motivation, fear, contradiction. The shit essays and self help books barely touch.
Autobiographies always have a spin but good Fiction often doesn't tell you what to think. It drops you into situations where every choice costs something, and you have to sit with ambiguity and imperfect decisions, which builds REASONING.

I've learned about West African traditions, Constantinople's politics, and political struggles of the Ottoman Empire from fiction. Malcolm Gladwell is cool, but he didn't improve my vocabulary like Ursula K. Le Guin.

Fiction isn’t just entertainment. It’s mental rehearsal for being human. Escaping into a book can be as good for your brain and self regulation as meditation.

And yeah, let me add one more chaotic perception I've had: Many “non-fiction only” men I've met are uncreative as hell and tend to treat women like achievements.

Hey, guys. I just wanted everyone to know that Hallmark has released a Hanukkah-Christmas romcom this year. Wait til you see what it's called.

I just watched the @Oprah special on kids going No Contact with their parents and, as someone who’s been no contact with their parents for years, I want to say one thing.

To the whole “we were taught to love our parents no matter what and kids these days just don’t do that” argument…

We didn’t choose to be born. You chose to be a parent. Stop trying to place the blame on us because you refuse to look yourself in the mirror.

Also, stop calling it a trend. It’s not. It’s a painful choice to walk away from someone you thought was your hero only to realize they’re a shitty person you’re better without
