Having literally written the book on the National Prayer Breakfast -- borne of the idea that God cares more for the rich and powerful than everyone else -- I can say this is the rare instance where Trump's grotesqueness is deeply appropriate.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Star Tribune: “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s ‘stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”

A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT The four Lakota detainees were reportedly sent to a former concentration camp used during the Dakota Wars

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

I’m writing about my job as independent rogue caregiver for people with dementia

I’m sorry but I need them to at least show up naked on horseback with scythes

I’m in the aisle and the young Eastern European guy next to me in the middle is SIX FOOT EIGHT. I said, “I’m sorry I didn’t offer to trade with you” and he goes “it’s okay. It’s all uncomfortable. We’re all uncomfortable in our own way here”

An upgraded-to-business husband comes back to visit his wife in coach and she introduces him to her seatmate: “This is Joseph. Thinks he’s cool now” and the seatmate goes “hey boss you got a good one right here”

A baby screams so piercingly and people laugh saying “I’ve been there!” or “thank god that’s not me!”

And a young mom describes to an older man what was so great about the documentary Summer of Soul

Still no bare feet on the seat in front of you or tray table diaper changes please but I like this vibe where a guy helps his seatmate with a spreadsheet and a native SFer pulls up the Original Joe’s menu for the Detroit businessman to check out

Ha! I remember how incredulous he was!

I used to love to tweet about gross things happening on the airplane but I need to report that this Detroit to SF flight is full of nice people being unusually kind to one another. I fly a fair amount and something feels different. Keep it up, people!

Thanks, Heidi! It’s 20 years old this year. So cool to see this…

When the swimming hole looks like dessert

Do you think she will ever allow you to see the collages?

What did your mom order?

How often do you talk to each of them? How often do they talk to one another?

Pulled off the bark of my firewood and uncovered this beauty. A true metaphor. Think how gorgeous we would all be if we skinned ourselves and walked around displaying our raw bloody tissue for the world to see what’s really inside!

Dear goddess this is really a new level

Prudence, who has Alzheimer’s dementia, describes it like this: “It’s like you have a hole in the sole of your shoe and you’re trying to walk so that you don’t step on anything that hurts, but you’re still trying to fool the world into thinking you don’t have a hole in the sole of your shoe.”
