So many things we used to consider un-American

“‘I have been a practicing physician for more than 19 years here in Minnesota, and I have never seen this level of chaos and fear,’ including at the height of the COVID-19 crisis, Dwivedi said.”

More examples of how ICE has created an unsafe environment - pregnant women scared to go in for checkups, mothers scared to bring their sick kids to a doctor @startribune.com www.startribune.com/ice-immigrat...

Events in Minneapolis are hopefully helping more people see that the fights for immigration rights, racial equality, gender equality, anti-corruption, economic justice and representative democracy are all the same fight

It's a small thing, but it fills me with civic pride to walk through the giant park near my house and see Hmong families having cookouts, Somali parents pushing their laughing kids on the swings. Like, here are people who've endured horrors, and my city has welcomed them in to build peaceful lives.

Investigators discovered that Walz told a small child "I've got your nose" but this claim was intentionally misleading

Several of the 13 “worst of the worst” criminals that the Department of Homeland Security said were arrested in Minnesota through its immigration enforcement operation were actually handed over to ICE by state prisons before Operation Metro Surge began.

A reminder for dimwits, whistles aren't violence, yelling isn't violence, cell phone videos aren't violence, vigils aren't violence, watching from a car isn't violence

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Killing Renee Good wasn't enough, they also want to prosecute her wife for being rude to them

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

When I saw the visibly queer woman confidently standing up to Ross in the video, a piece of the puzzle fell into place for me.

They want to call them domestic terrorists, but it's literally like grandmas who knit their own hats out there

Yes, killing peaceful protesters is a sign of tyranny. www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/t...

Maduro, Epstein, East wing, pardons, hoarding documents, blackmailing Ukraine, January 6, ICE, refugees, DOGE, - the only through line is Trump's disregard for laws and betting that if he does whatever he wants no one will stop him. (Oh, and trying to get himself paid while doing it)

It seems like a final showdown is here between the legislative branch and the executive branch. I don't see how they continue to cooexist with the current dynamic. Congress better make the next move, and soon.

In October, the US ended Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Venezuela. Yeah, seems pretty safe and stable there...

Many cities at 50+ year lows for homicides in 2025, by the way

The tactic is always to start with the end goal (discredit Walz, Democrats, immigrants, whatever) and then fabricate the "evidence" as needed - you can fool some of the people some of the time

My essay on this whole deal.....

Aurin Chowdhury rebutting Michael Rainville on his "defund the police" accusation. MPD has done nothing but ramp their budget off the chart. And then overspent that budget by $20 million. "That's the opposite of defunding the police. So let's give it a break."

In 2009 and 2010 the Tea Party events got endless breathless media coverage and had a huge effect on the 2010 midterm elections. Their participation numbers were nothing close to this.

Caught up with ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and my main reaction is there should be an award for Best Location Scouting and this should walk away with it

Just a reminder that the last two government shutdowns happened under President Trump, with Republicans in control of both chambers. These people cannot govern, and they need Democrats to bail them out.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Superhero movie that's just a "Flash" type guy flying around grabbing guns out of people's hands, then flying to the next one, over and over for hours www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

So yes, Jimmy Kimmel, but also any people in boats who we decide to blow up for any reason They can use the same logic on anyone

In case it wasn't already clear, even a weak and flailing government can still easily crush individuals

I was going to get a massage but the guy seemed really touchy-feely

Just a note that Tyler Robinson is still alive, so hey, maybe someone will ask him about his beliefs, and everyone can relax on throwing out their theories

wrote on charlie kirk for the newsletter this weekend

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Not really up for this "but look at how those people reacted to other victims of gun violence" discourse. Just be against shootings and murders, don't get dragged into the mire.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Seems like he really must be sick, we haven't gotten the traditional list of his favorite books from over the summer

Stuck in my head for some reason youtu.be/KeKGPhcSPHk?...

So let's talk about mental illness. The desire to have a military type weapon in your home seems like a sign that you are having unhealthy thoughts and might be prone to violence.

Yes, unfortunately, it's very difficult to always know which people around us are having violent thoughts and fantasies. So perhaps we should limit the types of military style weapons available to the general public.

RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it

Trump limits National Guard assignments to 29 days at a time to keep the called up service members from getting healthcare and housing benefits while on duty. And the NG troops are catching on. Stereotypical Trump. Don't give those losers and suckers an extra dime. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...

Can folks stop with "what will it take to get people in the streets?" Lots of people are and have been in the streets. This isn't France or Hong Kong where they can all be in the same place. Over 300 protests held Saturday against Trump redistricting push | Reuters share.google/c8zrAuuSQADD...

As more troops come to DC I'd like everyone to brush up on the Reichstag Fire The True Story of the Reichstag Fire and the Nazi Rise to Power share.google/AusCV5uP9L4f...

I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

NEW: On March 15, President Donald Trump’s administration sent more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Last week, the men were released as suddenly as they’d been taken away. These are their stories.

How about we move Colbert to PBS and use the YouTube / Insta revenues to fund the rural stations - he's gotta be generating some $$ there

I mean, I guess I'm fine with it, but how is anyone just now realizing that Trump has been abusing women and girls his entire adult life
