It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president.” --Teddy Roosevelt (R)

Has anyone looked historically when Departmental Secretaries went on the media circuit, did they use language of "what President X is doing is great & I support it" or was it more of "what our Administration is doing..." I feel like there is a huge change in the obsequiousness of Sec's. Is there?

Obviously if Chris Madel wins he’ll bring Bob Kroll-esque fascism to Minnesota government (Kroll is an endorser) but at least for now he’s a grenade in the GOP gubernatorial endorsement fight. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-... #letthemfight

Ain’t nobody fighting wokeness like sleepy Don…😂

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire? Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil. — Hannah Arendt philosophybreak.com/articles/han...

We have a dear family friend who is Black with two biracial kids that are white presenting. When out in public, white folks assumed she was their nanny. This is so familiar…

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

As an Eagle Scout who attended a National Jamboree, visited Philmont multiple times, & enjoyed summer camp over many years, I have always been concerned about the military's undue influence on Scouting. This is (ironically to Pete Hegseth) the best news I have heard in awhile! #Scouting #BePrepared

It’s not that complicated, people.

I have a lot of faith in the people of St. Paul being able to wrest back control of their cops. It’s not my city so maybe I’m missing something, but I see strong yet not naive statements from council members & citizenry is engaged & articulate. I hope StP has fewer reactionaries than Minneapolis.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

#OtD 19 Nov 1900 German communist and anti-Nazi activist Anna Seghers was born in Mainz. She wrote a novel in 1932 warning of the dangers of fascism, Die Gefährten, which led her to be arrested by the Gestapo, but she survived stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9133...

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

"Meanwhile, over 40% of the US population, including nearly 50% of children, are considered low-income, with family earnings that are less than 200% of the national poverty line." This is unsustainable. This is immoral. And this is destroying this country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.

Last night, I had a trick or treater (age 10?) who pointed behind me and asked "Can I have one of those signs?" I said it's a little outdated because Musk isn't in the administration any longer and he replied, "It's ok, I hate Trump." ❤️. I gave him a sign.⁩

I am once again reminding Americans that Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserve and this has nothing to do with drugs.
