My very most cringe, normie opinion is that the Obamas are extraordinary people -- the smartest, kindest, funniest, most self-aware & self-possessed human beings involved in US public life in this century.
They modeled decency -- called the country to decency -- and the country said No.
Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️
I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
❤️❤️❤️
Irony is lost on hypocrites.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators filling the streets with signs and banners
Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.
Cannot see the end of it.

HOLY CRAP!
Minneapolis Protests right now as Temperature sits at -16.
Jones: All you do is keep people fearful because you get paid 45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOS taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"
Gavin Newsom: “Diplomacy with Donald Trump? He’s a T. Rex. You mate with him or he devours you.”
Awesome comment.
We are in this horrifying situation because: Too many people found politics boring, weren't interested in law enforcement jobs or the military, couldn't be bothered to vote or there were no perfect candidates, and democrats in government refused to believe Republicans would go to these extremes.
What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.
Way ahead of you...
Can we please normalize redacting his ugly face with a black box in every image? We know who it is. Not only will it be a blessing to those who are sick of his face, but it will most decidedly piss him off, which is a really nice bonus.
Both of them. Putin + Trump. Inda Files. Betcha.
Actually that statement was from Nikita Khrushchev.
The city is under full, violent occupation. It is impossible to leave the house without seeing the daily horrors of fascism.

They're doing everything to coverup their crimes
CBS News(max) host Marg Brennan: "You said 'occupying force.' Don't you think that's a bit much?"🤔
MAYOR FREY: "When you have 3,000 ICE agents come to the city, a supposed threat of 1,500 military coming, that's very much what it looks like… this is not about safety.”
