Whenever I spent time on normie platforms (your threads, your Facebook), I become more and more convinced that a large part of our problem as a nation is the literacy crisis. People have trouble with basic reasoning. They can't follow very simple logic or compound sentences. It's disturbing.

This shouldn't require saying, but we highlight polls at a time like this because 1) it's heartening to see the American people rejecting fascism, which inspires more to join; and 2) because Ds are under pressure from certain quarters NOT to engage, so we need to let them know what the people want.

The reason I think it is important to say this is that it helps us focus on the likely risks.
It is, to me, very unlikely that a state will simply choose not to hold elections.
It is also, to me, very likely that voter intimidation and suppression will increase beyond the current terrible method.

Your regular reminder that there is no legal path from martial law to suspending elections in this country.
That doesn't mean there is no path. It just means that we need to reject the framing that the federal government has any legal authority to cease elections.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

RFK is capitalizing on what I've called the myth of the supermom--the idea that kids are under threat, and that only their mothers can keep them safe from harm.
It's the same myth he and his cronies are using to fuel the "parents' rights" movement and the panic over CRT and trans kids in sports.

Jasmine Crockett is great at going toe-to-toe with 10-IQ Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene, but policy wise she is on the level of Chuck Schumer. She will turn into another Chuck Schumer if elected at best, at worst she will become a Kyrsten Sinema and jump ship as soon as her donors do.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
