U.S. border czar Tom Homan announced yesterday that 700 federal agents are leaving Minnesota.

While accepting the award for Song of the Year at Sunday night's 68th Annual Grammy Awards, Eilish called on opponents of federal agents' brutal enforcement tactics - which have already led to the deaths of at least eight people, including Renee Good and Alex Pretti - to "keep fighting and speaking up and protesting." In her speech, Eilish also asserted that "no one is illegal on stolen land," likely a reference to the acquisition of Indigenous land by early settlers across the U.S.
We should be taking care of each other. We should be minding each other. We should be housing the homeless. We shouldn't be, you know, throwing people to the ground.
