I love Colbert. Whip smart, quick witted, a wry sense of humor, empathetic, curious minded and a man of morals. In other words, he stands as the polar opposite of the man who ordered him fired. They can take away his show, but they can’t take away his voice. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

We should all be paying attention to what this means. Getting rid of Roe wasn’t the end game and they will go further. Anti choice extremists in state legislatures are teaming up with allies on the federal bench to take your freedom to control the course of your life.

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

Do we really want to live in a country where our most treasured wild places can be stripped of their protections at any moment? #BWCA www.startribune.com/us-senate-up...

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Threatening to wipe out an entire civilization is morally bankrupt and a major war crime, risking the lives of innocent civilians - including children. He seems detached from reality. I don’t know who (if anyone) can get through to him. Congress needs to step in and stop him.

Trump doesn’t give a shit about housing, and he doesn’t care that he spiked gas prices, health care costs, and your groceries. He just wants to golf and pick out curtains for his billionaire ballroom.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Murphy: “ppl now see Trump for who he is — a would be dictator who doesn’t care what Americans think, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, & sees himself as a kind of 18th century king, with unlimited power to drag all of us into disastrous wars overseas without the consent of the ppl”

No new wars.

This has nothing to do with fraud. The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us. It sucks. We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this. I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

GIFT LINK: A president who has taken a backhoe to the White House and threatened to strip Kennedy Center down to its steel skeleton cannot and should not be entrusted with another irreplaceable national treasure — Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. www.startribune.com/burcum-the-h...

There is NOTHING ‘America First’ about selling out some of our most pristine waters so a Chilean mining company can come in, take our minerals, ship them to China for processing, then sell them off. All while polluting the Boundary Waters in the process.

A little remedial Sunday school reminder for our Republican politicians and administration officials.

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

50,000 Minnesotans turned out to peacefully protest ICE’s actions in 10 below weather and there were no problems. The next day a whole team of federal agents couldn’t handle one citizen with a cell phone. They shot him. ICE needs to leave.

ICE approaching a teenage girl and U.S. CITIZEN on her way to soccer practice and snooping around her car with giant guns is not making us safer.   All it does is terrorize our kids.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

The video shows an execution. And as we saw with George Floyd, there will be a tidal wave of creeps, bigots, and grifters telling you it doesn't. It's already started, I imagine. Don't let them.

The insurrection forever changed the course of American history. Right-wing extremism has further become a threat since January 6th. That day serves as a reminder: Democracy isn't just a suggestion. Protecting it is fundamental to preserving the integrity of the nation.

The President is literally endorsing the crazy conspiracy reasoning of a multiple murderer. An assassin. Is running Venezuela putting him over the edge? Think of how Melissa’s and Mark’s family feel when they see this. But that’s the point, the President doesn’t care.

Disgusted by him and everyone who keeps on looking the other way when he does things like this. He has found a new, crazy irresponsible and dangerous low point.

He gets a ballroom, a performing arts center, and a private jet from Qatar… but when people ask for health care he won't lift a finger. Grift.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE. It is the GUNS. #SadButTRUE 💔

You know what else is a great way to stay healthy (and doesn’t involve embarrassing yourself at the airport?)   Vaccines.

Everything this holiday season costs more, and THIS is how Donald Trump responds?

Anyone else in the Twin Cities bummed to see the great Mold-A-Rama machines at Como Zoo go? I’ve been obsessed with them since I was a little kid. I cooked up this graphic as an homage and thanks to Mold-A-Rama and the Como for cranking out all of those colorful plastic memories over the years!

No one should gloss over how appalling this is. A president who feels this comfortable demeaning women, and so many others, is nothing short of embarrassing and shameful.

sometimes it will just hit me that over a million americans died from covid in a short period of time and we never had a national mourning. we never collectively grieved. we never honored the dead. this feels like a failure

Leave our breweries alone.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning: Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases. So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care. Dystopian.

Corporations don’t pay enough to feed you and your family, so you use SNAP. Then he punishes you for using SNAP instead of taking on the companies that don’t pay you what you’re worth. We sometimes forget Trump is just an asshole boss. He always finds a way to blame workers.

They panic about fertility rates, say families need to be having more children, then they starve the kids and ensure health insurance is impossible to afford. Plus all the other things that would dissuade people from having kids: houses impossible to buy, diminishing middle class, ICE everywhere.

The cruelty is the point. It is their choice to do this.

Just feed people, you ghoul.

With the government shut down, flights cancelled, and hungry people going without SNAP benefits, Trump leaves his newly gilded palace for another weekend of golf and parties in Palm Beach.

Clarifying question: Does needlessly keeping food from working families make us great? Or is it keeping it from seniors on fixed incomes?

The President is openly defying a court order just to rip food away from starving families. So much for the rule of law. So much for basic humanity. This cruel, lawless man is hell-bent on inflicting pain on the American people—because that’s all he knows how to do.

I’m just going to say it… It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

The President’s priorities are gilded ballrooms and marble bathrooms, while the American people are trying to figure out how to afford health care and put food on the table.

Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

This is an actual headline in the New York Times. Meanwhile he’s cutting food for hungry kids and letting health premiums skyrocket at home. But oh the crown 👑 !

Republicans in Congress are taking an indefinite vacation & relinquishing their power to a wannabe king. Without a Congress, we’re living in a dictatorship—not a democracy.

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

Congrats to the Wolves for pulling out the win on the season home opener despite Ant leaving the game 3 mins in. Even bigger kudos to the team for bringing back the KG era black uniforms with the trees tonight. 🌲🐺🌲
