This is my kind of good trouble.

This story is nuts. "ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

This is incredibly accurate😬 A “Maga Years” explainer…

This story by Nicole Desjardins Gowdy is a gorgeously crafted gut punch. ✨️

“Take your money out of AI and into pitchforks” — holy hell that’s something I would say. Absolutely love this

It's not fair that Gen Z is going to save us all from the fucked up world we've made for them, but Gen Z is going to save us all.

OMG the Cincinnati Children’s hospital Pastor speaks after being detained for 73 days by ICE and he is a legal U.S citizen & they knew it when they took him & they’ve known it for all 73 days! He said the there are a lot of people in there that are U.S citizens & no crimes ever!

Holy crap. This is what we're seeing right outside our back door in the middle of St. Paul. ✨️✨️

After reading this take, I've stepped off the ledge and feel, dare I say it, hopeful again. Josh Marshall's political instincts are second to none.

They caved.We The People did not!

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

This is part of the tragedy of a surrender now. It invites more pain and suffering by emboldening the regime. Why should they listen to a weak opposition?

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.” That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

There was a *BIG* difference between Nov. 5 2024 and Nov. 5 2025. And there's still a BIG reason to be joyful🎉 amid all the darkness, as both David Byrne and Zohran Mamdani (who have a whole lot in common despite the 4 decades separating them) can attest.🎉✨️✨️✨️ open.substack.com/pub/pamschmi...

Democrats didn’t cave. They boxed republicans in and made them own the shutdown. Watch.

It's nice to be happyscrolling for a change.

So proud of my home state. 💙💙

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Our country is so much greater with these kids here. www.startribune.com/in-willmar-a...

Feeling heartsick for the Jays, but this is the kind of crazy side note I live for.

Halloween is the best holiday because it's all about people giving neighbors and strangers treats for free and telling kids how awesome they are.

These are the days.. 🍂🍂🍂

A 14-word replacement for most op-eds, substacks, etc about this moment. The GOP could stop ALL of this, right now—if a handful of Sens or Reps could step outside the cult. It would take four in the Senate, four (maybe five) in the House, to change history. Until then, they're all to blame.

The most Minnesotan protest sign. #NoKings

🚨 #NoKings🚨 St. Paul, Minn. 🇺🇸✨️

🚨 #NoKings🚨 St. Paul, Minn.

Ready for #NoKings tomorrow. 🇺🇸💙✨️

Jimmy Kimmel on the No Kings protests: “So just to be clear, peacefully protesting a wannabe dictator means you hate America. Attacking the Capitol to overturn an election? Patriotic walking tour. There is nothing more American than a political protest”

This is a huge scandal, one of the worst in modern law enforcement and something that is astoundingly unconstitutional and illegal.

This. And for historians in the future, please record your experiences ON PAPER (preferably cotton fiber)!

Very fesse(s)-tive indeed 🙃

Good morning from St. Paul. ✨️🤍

This blatant Hatch act violation better not be playing at MSP.

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode. Pedal to the floor.

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

Maybe it's the frogs who will save us in the end. 💚💚

Jane Goodall offers sage advice for the rest of us. #3E

Wow, that was quick! Another black eye for the regime.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

How on earth is this not a bigger story? Especially after Signal-gate?

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

I am just so fucking proud of her.

A meditation on squirrels, Kimmel and the power of protest. 🐿🐿 open.substack.com/pub/pamschmi...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Good morning Dorchester! TGIF!

ILLINOIS — BROADVIEW POLICE CHIEF ON ICE: “I was shocked. I’ve never been spoken to by a fellow law enforcement officer in such a way.” ICE is routinely gassing cops and negatively impacting the community as their detention facility faces protests.
