That’s the thing they don’t seem to be understanding: like bro, once you realize this is fubar and head out to another city, everyone has seen your whole gimmick and now is ready to be your worst nightmare it doesn’t get any better for them anywhere

Crucially, Both IL and MN have alleged an intent, in their lawsuits: this lawless violence exists to suppress legitimate political opposition to Trump’s policies.

He’s levying war on the United States. It’s treason.

And I am headed to MSP next week and honestly in my head it feels like I'm going behind enemy lines. I hope to BUILD ON and DRAW ATTENTION TO the work already being done. Again:

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

I’m kind of over the whole “America is bad, at least my country is good” as if the rise of a xenophobic right wing isn’t a broadly Western problem and every country tut-tutting about the US’s fall doesn’t have a failing neoliberal order constantly in tug-of-war with The Racism Party

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her.

The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present.

The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.

Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

We failed to hold the right-wing oligarchs accountable for the coup on January 6th, Russian interference, the subprime housing crisis, the WMD lie, Iran Contra, Watergate, and the confederacy. Elect people who will.
FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.
