The vice president is scheduled to go to Hungary on Tuesday to campaign for the country’s authoritarian leader, Viktor Orban, a Kremlin-allied white nationalist who proclaims that Europeans “do not want to become peoples of mixed race.” - Dana Milbank, New York Times www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/o...

"In President Trump’s America, there may be only two genders, but our military adventures can identify however they please." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/22/o...

The more you've stolen through fraud, the more likely it is that Trump will pardon you. He relishes having criminals indebted to him; it's a ready pool of talent to draw on and encourages loyalty, vs following those inconvenient barriers to wealth called laws. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/u...

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

Twin Cities news from the St. Paul Pioneer Press - Federal Judge orders lawful refugees to be flown back to Minnesota, released. 🎉 And another federal judge says ICE has violated nearly 100 court orders - more in January alone than some agencies have violated in their entire existence. 😡

GIFT article - Do not be fooled into thinking that Trump and MAGA have had a change of heart following the feds' murder of Alex Pretti. This is nothing more than a "tactical retreat," as David French explains in this New York Times opinion piece.

New Yorker Cartoon - Dystopian Conditions Ahead: Use Caution. Artist: Matt Reuter

I used to think it wasn't helpful to call it fascism; people would think I was crying wolf, exaggerating, living in a liberal bubble. But now? Now it's time. What must it feel like to be a MAGA disciple now? When do they start questioning the state narrative? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

CALL TO ACTION - Mpls is a warning! There's a January 30 DEADLINE to pass a new budget for the abusive DHS (ICE/CBP) headed by Noem, and Democrats can BLOCK it with enough votes. Tell your Dem & GOP senators NO votes for DHS without SERIOUS limits, listed here. Tell Congress to rein in ICE NOW!

ICE is now behaving in such a way that even Tucker Carlson’s favorite Holocaust minimizing, Hitler-apologist “historian” is like “hey now guys, this is getting a little out of hand.”

Please stop and read this statement from Renee Good's wife.

Three kids don't have their mom because of this. Are you speaking up? Silence is complicity. Action is your antidote to anger and heartbreak. Don't spread lies or rumors - get the truth - but then speak it, and speak often.

If you're concerned about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis - where I happen to have a whole lot of college friends - please consider registering for this emergency response call. This horrible, needless violence needs to stop, and this should be a clarion call to all on the sidelines.

They need to start freaking out more. The Venezuela raid has apparently left Trump thinking he’s all-powerful and now he wants to do it again and again. Beyond the insanity of running foreign policy on short-term whims, it’s also literally the kind of thing that could set off global war.

Reggie Williams was walking to the store... "...Four men poured out of an unmarked SUV with tinted windows. They carried rifles and wore body armor—but no identifying badges." "He thought of his family. “Deep down, I felt like I was not gonna make it home,” said Williams, who is Black."

F-ing wow. The Washington Post editorial board has flushed itself down the toilet. Do not resuscitate. Is Bezos writing it himself now?

"What separates democracy from authoritarianism, the rule of law from lawlessness and a decent society from an indecent one is not just the goal but the process. The government can, and should, reduce illegal immigration, but it should do so in a way that upholds American ideals."

TAKE ACTION, SCREWED OVER FEDERAL WORKERS!

Rebecca Solnit: "The shitbomb video and smashing of the East Wing are useful self-portraits they're giving us. The open corruption, cruelty, and destruction are insults, degradations, crimes – but most of all they're wake-up calls." 1/2

HCR: "And as I keep saying, this election and I suspect the next two elections are not going to be partisan. They're about protecting our democracy."

In an effort to help the White House with its accuracy problem, I got my red editor's pen out for their statement about the Big Ugly Bill. Much better now, no?

BUDGET BILL NEWS! Check out the full list of Big Ugly Bill provisions the Democrats got removed. The Senate Parliamentarian verified that a long list of Democrats' objections were correct; these violated the Byrd Rule. If Republicans want to include them, they'll need 60 votes.

Southern Poverty Law Center labeled a hard right anti-immigration group as a hate group; they peddle negative propaganda about immigrants. The group's president has had a huge influence on Trump's cruel immigration crackdown. What used to be fringe is now mainstream GOP. www.npr.org/2025/06/23/n...
