Fighting to #EndALZ. Always judging your grammar. Probably watching hockey.
I’m running out of adjectives to describe the abhorrent and cruel occupation of Minnesota. This administration’s obsession with our state and our residents is maniacal.

This, for example, is a small thing Walz can do: declare a state of emergency so the cities can put in an eviction moratorium.
Evict ICE, not us.
Allowing our neighbors to be evicted because ICE has made it impossible for them to pay rent is unacceptable. Minneapolis needs an immediate eviction moratorium to keep people in their homes.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

Attacking and defunding independent news is anti-democratic and anti-American. We’ve seen this tactic before. State-sponsored media is propaganda.

If abducting Venezuela’s sitting president was really about holding international drug rings accountable, then the full and complete pardoning of Honduras’ convicted drug trafficker ex-president is … oh wait. There’s no oil in Honduras.
The U.S. strike on Venezuela has renewed focus on the country's oil sector, which includes some of the richest crude reserves in the world.
U.S. seeks to tap Venezuela's vast oil reserves after military strikes. Here's what to know.
President Trump said "we're going to get the oil flowing the way it should be" after the surprise U.S. attack. Here's what to know about Venezuela's oil sector.

He's also threatened annexation or invasion of Greenland, Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, and Colombia.

TL;DR Votes won’t count, taxes will be late, and health care claims will be denied because Trump is trying to privatize #USPS.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
