- Reposted by Granny SmithOn NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

- Reposted by Granny SmithI'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance.

- All the precious threats about an economic strike... a lot of folks can't do any kind of purchasing strike because they're already living check to check. What about a tax strike? Tell HR you're "anticipating a credit" and put aside the tax money in savings, but stop paying.
