Please call the Senate they will vote very soon on whether to allow dangerous sulfide-ore copper mining on the edges of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Tell them to vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140 (H.J. Res. 140).

Can you believe this shit?
"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

Nope.
"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

I’m loving music right now. It’s all I can do in the moment (called my Senators and others today). ❤️

There is A LOT of misinformation going around about the continued funding of ICE.

It ISN'T a done deal.

Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet.

That's the way this shit works.

CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE THIS FUNDING DOWN.

I feel the need to repost this.
Phrases I hate right now:
• Clutching their pearls
• Tone down the rhetoric
• Doesn’t matter that/if (…)
• 1939, but we know better
• But you could have voted for Hillary and Kamala

And anyone/thing referring to “diaspora” and “ethos” and “plebiscitary” …

Thank you, Jack Smith, for your testimony and your commitment to the rule of law.

If one more politician or pundit says, “take the keys away from grandpa” like this is some kind of hysterically funny time we are witnessing and living through I’m just going to have to call both of my senators and my congresswoman 3x per day.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
