The fire at the Beth Israel Congregation, the same synagogue bombed by the KKK in 1967, is not an isolated incident. It’s the result of a deliberate increase in rhetoric that treats Jews as threats to be eliminated.

White nationalism is a cancer — it must be ended.

GOP senator who just argued against letting the voters decide on whether women should have reproductive rights, whether to preserve voting rights, whether to repeal the ban on same-sex marriage just asked: Don't you have confidence in the voters of Virginia without rigging it?

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

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.

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Reporter: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE Agent.

Leavitt: Why was she killed?

Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

Leavitt: You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter.
