Minnesota is my home and my first and one true love—I am life-long dem and human rights activist, trauma therapist, dog and cat lover, nature lover, Beatles lover, and full on book nerd. Let’s take care of each other.

Trump is so easily triggered that a TV commercial featuring a former Republican president causes him to tantrum, take his toys, and run home.

ICE detains mother dropping off child at elementary school—refuses to even look at her U.S. legal papers.

"What documents?" agent sarcastically replies—holding up the folder.

"The ones in your hands!" witnesses yell back.

Madison Elementary School in Santa Ana, California.

There is no reason for this country to experience food insecurity. It is an abject moral failure that 400 individuals have enough wealth to feed the other 340.1m of us practically indefinitely and choose to hoard it and rig the system instead.

That Donald Trump thinks the Supreme Court would decide a case based on a political speech by Ronald Reagan—instead of the law—is an admission that he knows the current, corrupt Court is a practitioner of politics, not a protector of laws.

So basically we have no Congress and no SCOTUS. Checks and balances are dead (but at least we can elect new representatives and *maybe* course correct for that part). We have mass media who are not willing to report what’s going on. We have a dictator. This is all clear to everyone, right?

And we left every area as clean as when we entered it and treated everyone with respect. Quite different from their ‘rallies’ that trashed communities.

They just murdered another six people in the Caribbean.

They didn’t even know the names of the people they just blew up.

Obviously there is no evidence of drug trafficking.

They could board the boats.

But no.

They murder people without any due process and then they celebrate their heinous acts.

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The Ninth Circuit just paused the three-judge panel’s order on our first TRO until Tuesday so they can complete their en banc vote.

This means for now, both our TROs preventing National Guard deployment remain in effect.

What's next:

Today’s Ninth Circuit’s administrative stay will last until 5pm on Tuesday 10/28. This will maintain the status quo—preventing deployment of National Guard troops in Oregon—while the court votes whether to rehear the case en banc. Given this development, we expect the second TRO will remain in place as well.

Our team is working around the clock preparing for the trial in the district court on the merits of this case. The trial will begin on Wednesday 10/29.

“This decision gives the court time to fully consider the serious constitutional questions at stake. It also ensures there won’t be a federal deployment while that process plays out—an important step in protecting Oregonians’ rights and keeping our communities peaceful.”

oh my GOD

Screenshot from Marc Carig, senior managing editor for the NYT’s MLB coverage, that I pulled off someone else’s screenshot on a different platform. It reads as follows:

“On the bright side for the Dodgers, that grand slam was hit in Canada, so with the exchange rate it worth only like 3.1 runs. So there's that.”

I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

So when Trump was president throughout all of 2020, the Biden administration went back in time to rig the election so they could come into existence?

Is it like a Looper situation?

With the looming horizon of SNAP benefits being paused, if you have the means to set up a monthly monetary donation to your local food bank, it makes a big difference for hungry folks in your community.

Everyone deserves to eat.

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment.

The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult.

It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history.

Until then, they're all to blame.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

American soldiers are not mercenaries.

They get paid by public funds or they don’t get paid. No other option is in line with our values or our laws.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.
