Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.
She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Forced to compete in an individualistic world, capitalism alienates us from each other & our collective humanity.
We should "mind our own business" when others need help.
As though our struggles, happiness & freedom aren't interconnected.
Capitalism makes us forget that we belong to one another.

Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it.
Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids.
Don’t let this go!!!

Holy shit! SCOTUS just ordered the U.S. government to bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man unlawfully deported despite a court order protecting him. A rare and forceful rebuke: due process still matters.

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense.
Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster.
MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures.
They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.
