Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Trump’s America.

Nothing ever changes. #epsteinfiles From the book Wake, by Rebecca Hall. Captains log on slave ships. Rape the women and the boys to keep the crew “entertained”.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Bernie Sanders: If we had a rational system designed to improve life, education could be free from childcare to graduate school. We can have universal health care. We can lead the world in transforming our energy system. We can build affordable and low income housing.

On a positive note, right wing Christian Nationalist anti LBGTQ+ and Muslim hater Bryan Fischer of Focal Point fame on American Family Radio, died in October. His hateful anti-Jesus voice is now silent. The world is a better place without his hate.

Tonight was a very bad night.

It’s unconscionable that congress and the President do nothing and continue to be paid, while the government workers who keep us safe and people who need food assistance are literally cut off completely.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks. On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Molly breaks it down brilliantly & this is why I listen to her Fast Politics podcast.

The Writers Guild of America on the removal of Jimmy. “As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world."

Just so everyone can follow along: The MAGA beef against @karenattiah.bsky.social is that she said Kirk said this:

“How you die does not redeem how you lived.”

Amazing how we couldn’t do what Brazil did: Bolsonaro Sentenced to 27 Years in Prison for Plotting Coup www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/w...

Some of what we use today was made for people with disabilities first

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

"This is what we were voting for!" From a friend in academia: >>I was with a public health professor from [major university] last weekend and he said that NIH is now euthanizing whole cohorts of animals from animal studies because there is nobody around to feed them<< Great work.

🔥 @RepMcGovern: “THIS IS NOT POLICY. THIS IS THEFT… done under the cover of night.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

I'm SUPER proud of all the folks joining the independent media revolution: @klasfeldreports.com @katiephang.bsky.social @jimacosta.bsky.social @contrariannews.org @joyannreid.bsky.social ... there are too many to name, but thank you for all your work!! Three cheers for independent media!!

Passing this on as I am in 1,000,000,000-%!

April 5th 'Hands Off!' protests compilation #HandsOff #Resist

I am speaking at the Network for Public Education conference this weekend with you know who ❤️

I just introduced the Delete DOGE Act, which – you guessed it – would defund DOGE.

Anyone worried about what a barter economy would do to our local economies? No state sales tax and wow, that’s a budget blow to roads, schools, fire, police and libraries.

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

A lot of people are wondering what they can do right now. Nothing will solve our problems overnight. But here are just few ways we can all DO SOMETHING to fight back against the Trump Administration as they upend lives, threaten health care, and break the law. 🧵

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏

Cory Booker is doing something incredible on the Senate floor. If you're not watching, you need to watch: www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

BREAKING NEWS: At 7 PM EST this evening, Senator Cory Booker rose before Congress with nothing but conviction in his heart, daring to stop the Senate in defense of democracy. “I rise tonight with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate…

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred. As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

This thread needs to be shared far and wide. They have transferred hundreds to a slave labor concentration camp on the basis of a system that says essentially if we say you’re a gang member, we can send you there. Human rights violations everywhere.

Thank you for sharing news of our initiative... we are an interdisciplinary team of researchers from U of Maryland, UPenn, and Georgia Tech + more whose aim is to communicate the impacts of federal cuts on science and health research nationwide. Full explainer thread here: bsky.app/profile/josh...

"What I and many others raised in religious homeschooling communities offer is an inconvenient truth: that previous generations already tried to build this utopia, and they lost their children in the process." ~ @abbinye.bsky.social for @religiondispatches.bsky.social

Perfect 🤣🎯

I just spoke with Homeland Security to get more information and I will share when I learn more. The University of Minnesota is an international destination for education and research. We have any number of students studying here with visas, and we need answers. www.startribune.com/u-graduate-s...

Extreme, misguided court rulings like Citizens United have flooded our elections with dark money and special interests that drown out the voices of citizens. Today, I’m introducing a Constitutional amendment to overturn the decision and return the power to the American people.

ICYMI, extreme Republican policies are driving our best professionals away from Idaho. THEY’RE BANNING THE GD LOCAL NEWS. FFS. @governorlittle.bsky.social let’s his party behave this way. #idpol
