A little about me: My passions include equity, empowerment, and representation. I’m a Midwestern Democrat living in a suburb. I’ve worked in non-profits my entire career with a focus on people with disabilities. I hate cancer and dislike people who are mean.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

The federal government is severing all the ties with Minnesota, as well as other blue states because the federal government is is at war against the democratically held free states that still oppose it.

They’re targeting and invading Minnesota. Cutting off all of our federal funding and flooding our state with federal agents with no purpose. They’re here to terrorize, cause chaos to justify their unlawful cruelty. Enough.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

The very worst but expected outcome. It’s like they hate women and their ability to make choices for themselves and their bodies or something, which leads to punishing women and children. That doesn’t seem very Christian to me.

In the more than four years since the state of Texas significantly restricted access to abortion, medical researchers have been studying the health effects of that policy change.
