Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

I also have something really nice to share, the first article from our hi vis workwear and workers project is out — a collaboration with Jesse Adams Stein and Bettina Frankham, all from the Faculty of Design & Society at @utsengage.bsky.social

Last year I got to work with this really cool team researching hi-vis workwear. Their first article from the project is out in the journal that I edit, Australian Historical Studies, check out the link below. And watch out for their future work, it’s gonna be great. 👷‍♀️👩‍🚒

It's still freezing in Minneapolis, and crowds are streaming into downtown. Spontaneous anti-ICE chants breaking out on the sidewalk.

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.

Coordinated a beer drop by a white friend to deliver a 30-rack of Hamm’s to a Hispanic friend’s doorstep because his wife wouldn’t let him leave the house to go buy more beer for fear he’d be brutalized by lawless armed masked federal paramilitaries. This is Minnesota community. We take care of us.

JB Pritzker talking to Jake Tapper on CNN about the recent shooting in Minneapolis by ICE

JB Pritzker: “I have encouraged the public to have your phones at the ready, video everything, bring us your documentation, tell us your stories, make sure that we have witness testimony — so that when we are able to hold them accountable, we will be able to do it because we have the evidence”

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Where Are All the New Cars? New cars were scant at CES this year, largely because the center of gravity for the auto world has moved—technologically and geographically—to China.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13.
I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.
