fat L for Kaohly Her, unfortunately

Let’s live up to the demands of our community because it’s not enough to just say George Floyd should be alive today, we have to wield our power to change the systems that murdered him.

I find this whole sequence incredibly alarming. What do you mean this lady has been working for the leading Dem on judiciary for 3 months??? I’m glad Durbin has made the right move to fire her, and I hope he goes further to respond to the clearly politically motivated prosecutions.

Jared Polis's cowardice is the only thing people will remember him for after he dies

Traitor to democracy behavior from Polis here. Sniveling appeasement of authoritarianism, after literally every Democrat in the state delegation warned him not to do this. The *Republican DA* thinks this move is nuts.

I’m very glad they’re doing it now, but this is why it was obviously the right plan to hold repeated votes on this. Make the majority sweat attendance and their margins, and work to flip some votes. Always have another one in the hopper to respond to the latest Trump catastrophe.

they should all make the RAV4 reversing sound

a good and correct argument about our only way through

weird way to say that the reason is extremely clear and that it’s deranged racism

Community, labor, and religious leaders just held a press conference in front of one of Delta’s corporate offices in Bloomington, MN. We’re asking Delta to: * Sign the Businesses for Democracy Pledge * Use their lobbying muscle for good * Establish a process to fly released detainees home to MN

dudes rock

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

The work for today and tomorrow. Let’s do this.

I think letting SNAP recipients have hot rotisserie chicken is good, actually.

Love this idea!

TOMORROW: Join a Communities Not Cages event near you to demand an end to ICE detention warehouses. We’re showing up for rallies and vigils outside detention facilities, on street corners, and in front of city halls and courthouses in hundreds of communities: www.mobilize.us/disappearedi...

Democratic Party electeds tend to rely extremely heavily on polling memos and message testing. And yet I’ve never seen any memo or poll that indicated that scolding would-be voters was effective persuasion or mobilization. Interesting what gets an exception from the focus group requirement!

In a big loss for Mike Johnson, the House rejected his proposed reauthorization of a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens. This fight isn’t over, so make sure your representative hears from you: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-co...

With a final tally of 213-214, the war powers resolution to disengage US forces from the war on Iran failed by a single vote. Representative Jared Golden of Maine was the sole Democratic lawmaker to vote against the measure. Had he voted for it, it would have passed, handing Trump an historic loss.

I had read about Justin Smith and knew how outrageous it was for him to be nominated, but I had not seen video of him speaking. And I want to apologize for not spending enough time making fun of him for being an incredible dweeb.

Wild that House Dems are letting the Senate — the Senate!! — run laps around them like this. I’m glad there’s a House vote this week. But the foot dragging and lack of a sustained plan is baffling.

and yet Chuck Schumer voted for the US to remain in the business of sending Netanyahu bulldozers to plow over Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon His era of the party is over, and it's time for the next one to take over

Tonight 8pm ET. Join me and our friends at Detention Watch Network, Indivisible, MoveOn, The Workers Circle, and Public Citizen for a movement call about the upcoming Communities Not Cages National Day of Action. Register here: mobilize.us/indivisible/event/932124

the most St Paul experience is picking up free dirt from a neighbor, and fielding all the questions from everyone else you encounter about your dirt. Is the dirt good, is it a good time of year for dirt, do they also need dirt, are you going to have enough dirt, is the dirt heavy, is dir-

the vice president is an idiot, and he thinks you are too

this is just so gross, man. I cannot wait until we are past the pipeline of Obama alum -> shill for the worst industries in the world. It's noxious on policy and political grounds. Just because it's "tech" or "new" doesn't mean it's not evil. But hope and change or whatever.

this is the mechanism to rein in an out of control judiciary. it’s not just an option, it’s actually an obligation for Congress to impeach judges who so flagrantly stomp on the constitution. Any SCOTUS justice entertaining ending birthright citizenship aught to be thrown out of the chamber.

oh wild check out what I found here in article 1 section 4 of the united states constitution

ridiculous to argue that a "professional service" (scare quotes intentional) is protected speech simply because there's talking involved. Fuck all the way off with this. All love to my trans friends, who deserve a world so much better than this. Your humanity should never be in question.

Looks like Secretary of War Crimes is also Secretary of War Profiteering

If Republicans do a sequel to the One Big Ugly Bill, the official name is 2 Big 2 Ugly. Just making everyone aware.

$200B for an illegal war, led by the dumbest people alive, that's driving up costs. Genuinely hilarious that they'd even ask for this. Hard pass, and any member of congress even considering this should be run out of their jobs. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The Republican Party's descent into open Islamophobia is not just disgusting — it's also completely un-American. Muslims have been part of the American experiment since before this country began. We will not let the GOP smear millions of Muslim Americans in order to distract from Trump's failures.

Important for pro-democracy Spaniards to know that the Minnesota State Fair has a paella truck with the tagline The Hotdish of Spain. I’m just saying the cross-Atlantic solidarity runs deep.

This clips are incredible, but it’s truly worth watching this one all the way to the end for the “there were no books” kicker

Under pressure from Trump, Gov Polis is considering pardoning an unrepentant MAGA election saboteur. @brianbeutler.bsky.social has some food for thought for advocates. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...

Bro asked for the Platner.

MPD's "duty to intervene" is meaningless when his police force worked through the last few months without a single intervention. He should just acknowledge there was no amount of lawlessness federal agents could've done that would have triggered an intervention.

everyone said it at the time so this isn’t novel, but the excusing of the IDF bombing schools and hospitals in Gaza was very obviously setting the stage for mass civilian murder from much bigger militaries, and most specifically the US

american society in 2026 is hateful bigots complaining to the imaginary referee that they shouldn't have to learn new things or ever be uncomfortable vs. the rest of us saying "skill issue" and loving our neighbors

The absolute most disgusting, eliminationist Islamophobia from multiple members of the House Republican caucus continues to spew forth without acknowledgment or censure

A key test for reading comprehension this week will be understanding that voting for a war powers resolution is not the same thing as voting for an authorization for the use of military force, and has precisely the opposite effect

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

An important statement from @repyassansari.bsky.social. Her loved ones have experienced this repressive Iranian regime first hand - and she knows that Trump's reckless bombing and warmongering will not bring peace, security, or self-determination to the Iranian people.

this is the only possible path to disincentivize this clearly corrupt concentration of power, and following through on this promise is essential to the total societal rebuild we will need
