Minnesota is more than what you see on TV.
We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors.
I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do.

With all the shit going on why is anyone wasting their time shitposting about Newsome? Are these people trolls, bad actors looking to divide Dems, obsessive/compulsives perseverating on Newsome, or people with too much time on their hands who could be actually helping to fight fascism?

Rand Paul: "To say it's not a war in Venezuela -- we still have hundreds of ships with a 100% blockade of the coast. That is an act of war. It's an ongoing war. To continue to take their oil -- ongoing war."

Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody.
ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial.
Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

I feel like the fact that the ICE agents are one, all still alive despite the massive resistance going on, and two, that the worst thing they can think of to complain about is slipping on icy sidewalks, is the most solid proof you could want that the left is actually very peaceful and non-violent.

Republicans have ceded their constitutional authority over tariffs to Trump voluntarily. They could have ended it at any time. They could end it now. Trump is not on the ballot this Nov, but they are. The only way to stop this daily tariff drama and insanity is to vote them out.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
