Trump has shamelessly used the presidency to make an amount of money equal to 16,822 times the median U.S. household income of $83,730.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Everyone's citizenship is now up for debate and litigation if the State decides it wants to hurt you.

This is so heartbreaking. People with HIV who are on meds aren’t just saving their own lives; they also can’t transmit the virus during sex as long as they’re undetectable. This isn’t just hurting 10,000 people, it’s also going to cause exponentially more new cases.

Criminal.

I have a big post coming out about this tomorrow. We just recorded the podcast episode for it this afternoon. I think it will clarify things for a lot of people.

🧵🧵🧵 JD VANCE, SOCIOPATH 🧵🧵🧵 Here’s a thread about the vice president and why he’s a threat to your freedom. You may know some or all of these facts, but I thought it might help to put the damning details in one place. 1/11

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

During winter weather check in with neighbors, family & friends. 🚪 Knock: A simple visit can make a big difference. 📱 Connect: Reach out via phone or text to check on their well-being. ❄️ Assist: Offer to clear snow, pick up groceries, or run an errand.

it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.

I hate using the word "crazy" but this s*** is crazy.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Trump’s letter to Denmark demanding Greenland is one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve ever read in my entire life. I thought it was fake at first. He’s insane.

Beyond the fact that this bugfuck insane letter was written and sent to the leader of Norway, the State Dept agreeing to distribute it to other heads of state instead of objecting and honorably resigning or at the very least planning some kind of coverup is a sign of deep institutional collapse.

According to the government of the United States it is not appropriate to investigate a man who shoots a woman in the face and calls her a fucking bitch. I am a former advocate for survivors of domestic violence and this makes me want to weep.

Hoo boy, First Amendment watch: The North Dakota Attorney General sent a cease-and-desist letter to an abortion fund for simply linking to @plancpills.bsky.social. AG claims the link constitutes promoting and facilitating access to medicine without a prescription under the state’s consumer fraud law

Revoke all visas. Honestly at this point the EU, UK, Australia, all African nations - send USians home and make them handle their business (restoring democracy).

The EU should put the same sanctions on US athletes and Olympic spectators that we have for 75 countries.

A reminder that New York Senators Gillibrand and Schumer voted to confirm Marco Rubio. All Democratic Senators at the time did. How's that working out for us on the international stage? www.senate.gov/legislative/...

1/About 1,500 active-duty soldiers, two infantry battalions of the Army's 11th Airborne Division, are under prepare-to-deploy orders for possible action in Minnesota. This means Donald Trump is actively contemplating invoking the Insurrection Act.

Subtle.

There is an area in the ICE detention center in Minneapolis designated specifically for American citizens. Contemplate that for a minute.

Oops: Eric Trump and other right-wingers accidentally gush over the fact that fentanyl deaths in the U.S. plummeted under Biden’s presidency after spiking during Trump’s first term—because they don’t know how to read a chart.

I get it: Billy Joel could write “We Didn’t Start the Fire 2” using just headlines from the past two weeks. That said, Trump’s increase in wealth has to be one of the biggest stories of his first year in office. Check out this week's news on Trump's for-profit presidency in 1100 Pennsylvania.

Mafia takeover of America complete. Trump has told countries that want to serve on his Gaza Board of Peace they will have to pay $1 billion to be permanent members.

Mara deserves your follow. Real time reporting from Minneapolis.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

It’s quite likely that being called a “fucking bitch” is one of the last things a dying Renee Good ever heard. I demand leaders who are as filled with pure, diamond-hard rage over this as I am. I believe this is absolutely not asking for too much.

Donating cookies back almost felt better than eating a whole box of samoas by myself. Almost.

Finally opened some mail and was so pleased to see this thank you letter from @buffalolibrary.bsky.social, acknowledging a donation that went to purchase We the Women: the Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America by Norah O'Donnell, which is now on my "to read" list. 🥰📖 Support public libraries.

An excerpt from White Rural Rage, illustrating the contempt and disdain that Trump/Vance have had for Minneapolis for years. Power to the people.

People under federal criminal investigation for the murder of Renee Good by Trump's DOJ: -Her wife who had to watch -The Mayor of Minneapolis -The Governor of Minnesota People not under federal investigation: -The motherfucker who actually shot and killed her

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

Good to know Chuck Schumer's meeting with Trump yesterday really worked in curbing the Republicans and their brutal crackdown on Democrats and innocent Americans in Minnesota. Must have been a helluva convincing meeting. Well done, Chuck! Oh, look, the DOJ is now investigating Walz and Frey.

This kind of messaging is intended to drown moms in research, risk, and responsibility. The goal is to keep them so anxious and so busy that they can't work for pay--especially not in high-powered "mens" jobs--or get involved in any kind of efforts to push for progressive change.

I can't get the video of that handcuffed woman being forced into a portapotty by an ICE agent out of my head. And neither should you.

Cheers to political leaders like @markpoloncarz.bsky.social, @seanryanforbuffalo.bsky.social and Tim Kennedy for speaking out on this outrageous and unlawful detainment. I won't hold my breath waiting for our senators to weigh in.

Hey are you a recently minted Very Upset person about What's Going On? Here's a few tips: Engage with local politics Join grassroots local organizations and donate to them Don't post about protesting Listen to the concerns of marginalized groups where you live DON'T POST ABOUT PROTESTING!

I am begging: Do not learn how to do activism or organizing from social media influencers. Do not join massive unvetted Signal groups promoted by “revolutionary” influencers. If you want to be an activist, you need to be embedded in local community with people you know and trust. I am BEGGING here

Literally, the stupidest people doing the stupidest stuff and systematically dismantling our democratic norms and institutions

Trump's hopes for a 2028 win in Minnesota wane. NY Times, probably.

This is a critical point. What we're really witnessing is the *collapse* of law and order, brought about by Trump's lawless thugs. I think a lot of ordinary people intuitively understand that this is what's happening.

Greenland Iran Venezuela Canada Minneapolis So far

Minneapolis is a dry run for suppressing the vote in blue states in the midterms. C'mon people.

Why did he put the money into a Qatari bank account instead of the US Treasury?
