do you know how fucking pissed off minnesotans need to be to NOT help someone push their car out of the ditch? This is the midwest equivalent of banishing this ICE agent to hell
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

This is a brilliant thread of contextualization of this moment and what's praiseworthy about it amidst the atrocities.
I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.
So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

The extraordinary moment at the NATO press conference when Trump admits he gave a foreign enemy (Iran) permission to attack a US military base.
“They said is one o’clock ok? I said it’s fine.”
He even says soldiers were still on site.
I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but that’s treason, right?

Attend a No Kings Protest yesterday? Thank you for showing up! An estimated 4-6 million people protested across the country. Wouldn't it be amazing if all of us picked one issue and used @5calls.org to contact our reps today and tomorrow?

LAPD This is a public warning—not the kind your tactical goons give, with chest armor and foam rounds and dead eyes behind mirrored shields. No. This is a journalistic warning. You no longer get to control the narrative.

My mom. 88.
Not giving up.
Her idea: we hear there will be a military parade, the Flower People of the 60ties should come by the thousands to Washington & disrupt, stick flowers in the guns, lie in the street, dance, wave No More War signs. We need Greta Thunbergs. Celebrate love and art. Not war.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if there is NEW evidence that would change a determination *already made by a judge*, the government needs to present it in that court and get the determination changed. Re-litigating a judge's determination based on old evidence on TV isn't due process
