Reminding Minnesotans that Tom Homan is still a Nazi, just one wearing civilian clothes & is “polite”. Joseph Goebbels frequently wore lovely tailored suits. Tom Homan devised Zero Tolerance, separated families at the border, and caged children. He contributed to Project 2025. Took $50,000 bribe.

Dear people of Maine. I hear some of you asking “activists” from Minnesota to share our wisdom. 1. There are no “activists”; there are no leaders; there is no guide. There is just us. People. Neighbors. Friends. Coworkers. Members of your organizations: PTA, gym, church/mosque/synagogues.

Just wondering. Who around the Orange Buffoon played Risk and believed it to be the basis for foreign policy?

Would people in Minneapolis wondering what to do, please bake cookies to pass out to people doing Rapid Response, to immigrant neighbors, and to all other neighbors? Cookies build community. Cookies thank people. No cookies for ICE.

I am a very slow learner; I just finally learned today that there is absolutely no point in replying to people who post misinformation. I had assumed that people were genuine, open-minded, that a calm presentation of facts would help people learn and/or match their positions to reality. Silly me.

Our Somali community in Minnesota is a large, vibrant, hardworking community, the largest Somali community in the US. Over 90% are US citizens; over 50% of those were born here. Support our family/friends/neighbors; support Somali businesses chamber-blackstarmg.nationbuilder.com/members

Trump now targeting Somalis in Minneapolis St Paul. NYTimes gift article here. ANYONE IN MINNEAPOLIS-ST PAUL know where to get Know Your Rights CARDS in Somali. Monarca does not have them on its website. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

Darth Cheney is dead. Best news to start the day.

MN Republican Rep Tom Emmer wants Minnesota to repeal its trans refuge law alleging the shooter at Annunciation school was trans. Following that logic, all white cis men and boys should be removed from the state as they are the vast majority of school shooters. How about removing assault weapons?

“Russia Demands Role in Guaranteeing Ukraine’s Postwar Security” is as brilliant a plan as the fox guarding the hen house…the fox can demand whatever it wants. But the plan should be laughed out of the room.

Land for peace=appeasement.

Yes, we are pleased to think Trump’s downfall may be his pedophilia which now offends his base. But this all is old news & he’s had actual criminal convictions for his sexual misconduct. His base still voted for him. Why does anyone think revelations from the Epstein files matter? He’s a fascist.

Very pleased that Minneapolis DFL convention endorses democratic socialist state senator Omar Fateh for mayor over incumbent Jacob Frey. DFL has been unable to agree on a candidate to endorse since 2009.

#1 Some of the authoritarian regimes historically: Spain under Franco, Chile under Pinochet , Brazilian military dictatorship (1964-1985),Argentine Junta (1976-1983), Indonesia-Suharto (1966-1998) Soviet Union/ Stalin (1928-1953) North Korea (1948-present):China under Mao (1949-1976). See thred..

@ladylawyerdiary.bsky.social Well, sharing this story about the “olden days”: I was admitted to practice in the first “wave” of women lawyers. In 1982-84, a local judge routinely called women lawyers practicing before him lawyerettes. So we had baseball jackets made with that embroidered on them.

Vance Boelter, suspect in shooting of Minnesota lawmakers, taken into custody in Sibley County, MN. (Article on public radio at 9:30 pm CT)

I wanted to share my increased admiration and give thanks to Minnesota AG Keith Ellison. Despite the devastating loss of his colleague and friend Melissa Hortman, and despite being on the assassin’s target list, he bravely showed up and eloquently spoke, encouraging us all to never give up.

Trump continues to look for ways to suppress all opposition. He is on the fine line legally by calling out the National Guard in LA. His executive order used language just barely within the authority of 10 U.S. Code § 12406: impeding ICE = impeding execution of laws. Maintain peaceful resistance!

Minnesota-Minneapolis emergency action ALERT EMERGENCY PROTEST HANDS OFF THE COURTS FRIDAY, APR 25, 3-5PM FEDERAL COURT HOUSE PLAZA 4TH AVE S & S 4TH ST, MPLS

@ilhanmn.bsky.social your official website has a problem at omar.house.gov/address_auth.... Endlessly looping.

Yes, tariffs are harming the economy and real folks. Lots of other harms. But let’s keep our eyes on the big picture: our Constitution, separation of powers, defeating fascism. Without a democratic government and the rule of law, the rest doesn’t matter (as much).

#1 Habeas corpus ( Latin for “produce the body/the person”) tells the custodian/the keeper/here immigration, to bring the detained person before the judge and explain what justifies the continued confinement of the person.

It’s important that people from all walks of life and background, and all rational political perspectives, show unity in support of democracy and the rule of law on April 5, somewhere near you. Show your love for your country and for what it should—must—stand for: handsoff2025.com/

April 5th suggestion: Bring a new person with you. Bring that person who agrees that Trump is destroying us, but is scared to go to a demonstration. Bring that person who thinks it doesn’t matter. Let’s double the turnout by each of us bringing one new person.

Yes, I am concerned about the breach of security regarding an attack on Houthis in Yemen. An investigation and charges should be brought. However I am more concerned about the President attacking another country without explicit Congressional authority. Anyone in Congress paying attention?

Just an interesting thought. When violent crimes are committed by immigrants, that is the focus and frenzy. 89% of homicides are committed by people with one prime characteristic: they are MEN. Why don’t we focus on that characteristic? Lock up all men? Just looking at the absurdity.

Inch by inch we watch as safeguards fail. Now we hold our breath as we look to see if one more judge in one more courtroom can protect the Constitution and the rule of law.

Well, Congress gave up acting as a co-equal branch of government. So far the judicial branch still believes in the rule of law and in its powers as the sole interpreter of the law. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

@klobuchar.senate.gov Where are your posts about actions you are taking to stop the coup? No continuing resolution. Yes, shut it all down. Stop with the mealy mouth “bipartisanship” words. You are my Senator. I expect you to lead. To action. Stop “playing well” with bullies.

Call your Senators TODAY. NO continuing resolution. Not for 30 days; not for 6 month. Trump and his henchman will continue to destroy the County, the government, the Constitution in 30 days or in 6 months. Senators need to LEAD, BE STRONG, ACT. No "playing well with others" when the others are evil.

Oath for lawyers in MN You do swear that you will support the Constitution of the United States and that of the state of Minnesota,...1/2

Does anyone have an action plan? A plan of action? Too many talking heads. Too many posts telling us what we already know. Lots of words....

Justice Roberts’ “pause” of lower Court’s order to release $2 billion in foreign aid is confirmation that the Court will not be saving the Constitution. I haven’t given up ALL hope that we can save democracy in this country, but pretty much so. I still will continue to take all action possible…

Looking for ideas of specific/narrow messaging to my Democrat Representative and Senators (Ilhan Omar, Tina Smith, Amy Kolbuchar). Most generic messaging regarding the constitutional crisis suggests broadly"demanding" action (eg 5calls.org). Other specific action ideas desired as well.

Another rally/demonstration planned for every state capitol for Presidents Day Feb 17 at noon. Does anyone have details? A plan? Info about organizers? A coherent message? My fear is that without a cohesive message and action plan, frequent demonstrations will become smaller, more easily ignored.

CNN headlines: "The latest on Trump’s efforts to overhaul the federal government" should be corrected to "the latest on the Coup". Why is the Press acquiescing to the Prince of Darkness?

@amyklobuchar.com Stop wringing your hands and act. No quorum. No nominees. No budget.

So Trump and his sycophants have dismantled any semblance of fair agencies, fair government. Who/what is leading or organizing protests? I mean the in-the-streets marches and demonstrations? Where to find those? I am not going to sit around whining/kvetching/tsktsking.
