A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

Exclusive: group behind notorious Florida immigration detention center created bid for reconstruction deal
Trump administration insiders and well-connected Republican businesses have been jostling to dominate pending humanitarian aid and reconstruction logistics in the shattered Gaza Strip, according to sources and documents reviewed by the Guardian.

"Is this what you want conservatism and the Republican party to be?" Apparently the answer was yes, this is what Republicans and conservatives wanted their movement to be.

The Trump Grift - bad for veterans, bad for workers, bad for women, bad for the environment. Great for billionaires.
Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Stand with our fellow Minnesotans and against the forces of fascism flailing at our gates.
Somali Minnesotans are Minnesotans.
They’re our neighbors, friends, classmates, business owners, teachers, & more. They are part of the fabric of MN.
Trump’s ICE raids in Mpls are unconscionable, tearing families apart, & leaving them in dangerous situations. This is not leadership. It’s cruelty.

I’m waiting for a foreign power, say Canada, to close our airspace due to kidnapping and human trafficking and reckless endangerment of the world.
Remember a few weeks ago when dude was all butthurt that he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize.
More saber rattling.
There are good reasons that the U.S. Constitution does not leave the decision on whether to go to war to the whims of one man.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

And in eastern Oregon, Amazon is doing exactly that.

What’s happening in Tennessee is going to blow Trump’s mind. Like Mamdani, Aftyn Behn is laser focused on affordability and dismantling the oligarchy. People around the country, even in districts gerrymandered into the red, have had enough of subsidizing the lifestyles of billionaires.
