I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them
What a moment.

When our freedom to vote is undermined, entire communities can lose their say on who makes decisions on our schools, health care, and other crucial resources.

The Supreme Court must uphold fair representation for Black voters — our democracy is on the line.
The looming return of Jim Crow to Louisiana, America’s second Blackest state • Louisiana Illuminator
Louisiana’s political system could soon look more like 1966 than 2026, and it’s time to acknowledge the full extent of the greatest threat to the American Experiment in decades.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

We need to reform immigration detention.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

I'll repeat my ask to Democratic Senators here: don't vote for the DHS funding bill, yes. AND ALSO do not vote for another single thing in the United States Senate until the invasion and occupation of Minnesota ends. Don't vote to name a post office, dedicate a road, or even a procedural motion

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Got carded at the Frost game and the girl just said “oh wow!” and I’m just not sure how to take that? Was that nice? Was the number too high?

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

The unc who went viral a few weeks ago protesting in MN is back: "5 shots they put into that man's body. How do you look me in the eye and tell me you can justify this? I'm a veteran. I swore an oath back in 1969 to protect this country against all enemies foreign and domestic. This is unbelievable"

The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

New low, I just openly cried while calling my representatives. I am so tired. It’s hard to go to work daily. It’s hard to watch what’s being done to our state. It’s hard to focus. It’s hard to sleep. It’s hard to live in a state of high anxiety. It’s hard to be scared all the time.

Please take a moment to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose H.J. Res. 140. A short call, email, or message saying you care about clean water, wilderness, and public lands really does matter. If people stay quiet, this will pass quietly. If enough of us speak up, it doesn’t have to.

This fight isn’t over yet. The resolution has now moved to the United States Senate. Senators will decide whether this rollback stands or stops here. That means the pressure point is right now, and it’s federal not at the state level.

This kind of mining has a long track record of polluting water through acid mine drainage and heavy metals, damage that can last for generations. Once water is contaminated, there’s no undo button and the Boundary Waters is exactly the kind of place that deserves better.
