The gov’t didn't pressure Fox to fire Tucker Carlson, but Trump's FCC threatened to yank ABC’s license if it didn’t fire Kimmel. Trump says the press is "not allowed" to criticize him & should have their licenses revoked if they do. These are blatant 1st Amendment violations. Even Carlson agrees.

Because so much misinformation is circulating about violence in the US, I want to share some evidence-based figures to help us all understand the problem better. I'll link to the research, but the reports are long. If you don't have time to read them, here are some charts that highlight key facts.

US citizen & ABQ resident Hermosillo got lost in Tucson. BP arrested him & said they found him 70mi away, entering the US illegally. He sat in jail 10 days, till his family located him & showed his birth certificate. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/20/us-citizen-jose-hermosillo-border-patrol

US citizens are being detained by ICE & ordered to self-deport. CBP agents in tactical gear are boarding trains & questioning all passengers. Better start carrying your birth certificate/passport. The Trump admin has 0 respect for the Constitution. Anybody could end up in a foreign prison.

This is market manipulation and insider trading—serious federal crimes—perpetrated at the expense of the American people. Our president was already a felon, and now he's an even bigger one.

Last Sat., 5.2 million Americans in 1,200+ small towns & big cities across the USA protested the GOP’s destruction of our democracy, economy & civil rights. There’s no mandate for this nonsense. We’re just getting started. See you in the streets again on April 19. www.theatlantic.com/photo/2025/0...

Why do Repubs keep saying folks protesting their unAmerican BS are paid? They can't imagine people would oppose their theft & destruction? So pathetic. F/ELON are the ones paying people to show up for them. P.S. If liberal protesters are getting paid, someone owes me a LOT of back wages.

About 1,000 people showed up last night to the AG forum in N. St. Paul. The stories filled me with rage; the determination of ordinary people filled me with hope. The message: SHOW UP for each other. Be loud. Be persistent. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

MN friends, please call & write your MN legislators. MN Repubs have introduced a bill to add "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to a list of mental illnesses to pathologize people who speak out against Trump. CALL THEM OUT. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.p...

Democrats brought the US economy back from a Republican-led disaster & handed a strong economy to the GOP—who are, as always, destroying it. These assessments come from the famously conservative WSJ & Economist. Republicans are ruining everything for regular people so they can enrich billionaires.

Thanks a lot, Republicans.

Trump is erasing from military databases 1000s of images of women, LGBTQ+ folks, & people of color who served b/c these images hurt his white manbaby feelings. In protest, here's my Auntie Oliva, who served in the South Pacific in WWII, & my book The Tuskegee Airmen. apnews.com/article/dei-...

MN friends, Keith Ellison is hosting several forums over the next few weeks. Come learn what AGs across the country are doing to fight for democracy & be in solidarity as we chart a course forward. For more info and to RSVP, click the link below. See you there! www.ag.state.mn.us/2025forums/

Our elected officials work for US. They have a duty to listen to us and answer our questions and serve our interests, NOT THEIRS.

Feb. Consumer Confidence Index fell to 98.3, down 7% and below the Dow Jones forecast of 102.3. It’s the largest monthly drop since 8/21. The Expectations Index fell 9.3 points to 72.9, the 1st time since 6/24 that the measure has fallen below recession level. www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

The GOP tax plan robs middle- and low-income Americans to enrich the wealthy. Please call your congress-critters and urge them to vote no on any such nonsense. www.cbpp.org/research/fed...

This is an official White House Instagram post. Cruelty, greed, and ignorance are at the rotten, evil heart of every person in this administration. What’s next? “I love the smell of crematoriums in the morning?” www.instagram.com/reel/DGOclSl...

While Trump erases women leaders from federal websites, I suggest resisting this dick(tator) move by reading all you can about them. For starters, I recommend Kristin Hannah’s novel The Women, based on the experiences of 10,000 women who served in Vietnam as nurses, doctors, intelligence, etc.

This is ethnic cleansing, full stop. It’s pure evil, as is anyone who supports this idea. Also: Gaza is a hellhole because ISRAEL MADE IT A HELLHOLE. www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/02/...

Nobody elected that techno billionaire. He’s grabbing our money and destroying our democracy to enrich himself. That felonious F*er belongs in prison, not the Treasury building. www.youtube.com/live/sZXyEUF...

The more Trump blames others, the more you know he’s to blame. newrepublic.com/post/190964/...

What happened today and why. This is why it’s so important to resist authoritarians. Thank you to everyone who did. KEEP IT UP. This will be a 4-year marathon.

ALL HANDS ON DECK. Raise a stink to your congresspeople every dang day. We get what we fight for. 🔗 resist.bot/petitions/PA...

“Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes.” —Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1962, “Paul’s Letter to American Christians youtu.be/7p5iOhXumaQ

In 1943, Bulgaria’s Jews were in corrals, soon to board trains to Treblinka. Suddenly the govt called off the deportation. Why? B/c citizens protested & didn’t let up for years. Bulgaria’s Jews lived. When our neighbors are rounded up for deportation, may we have the moral guts of the Bulgarians.

49.92% of folks who voted on 11/5 are ending the USA’s long run of democracy. They likely didn’t mean to—just didn’t care enough to learn about the GOP’s plans. They’ll suffer with the rest of us. And once they wake up, I hope they’ll fight with the rest of us too. open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...

Trump does NOT have a mandate. He doesn't even have 50% of the popular vote. Push back on this false narrative—don't hand over unearned power to a fascist. As votes continue to be counted, the current tally is Trump 49.96%, Harris 48.24%, Other 1.80%. www.cookpolitical.com/vote-tracker...

Hi, friends. I’m glad to see you here. 🤓
