From tyler merritt : “Racism with paperwork. And what’s wild is you smile and quote scripture while doing it.” @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn

These racists went straight to work.

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

Warnock: “I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I’m tired of racism. I think it’s a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady.” If this makes you uncomfortable, ask yourself why.

The fact that most of us can't name a policy advanced by the Right that has improved a majority of people's lives to me is telling. It suggests that when you hear some people say that a "strong" GOP is needed, that they are full of shit or complicit in making people's lives more awful.

Minneapolis will never die.

No lie detected.

is this for real? Trump is giving taxpayer dollars to keep a right-wing propaganda organ in business?

While Mayor Frey travels the country accepting awards on the backs of immigrants, he’s back in Minneapolis vetoing the very policies meant to protect them. 1/ www.startribune.com/frey-again-v...

The decision made today by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority was dishonest and shameful. I want to share some thoughts on what it means — and how we move forward. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dEoGa06v1Xw

This pretty much sums it up. Term limits for SCOTUS.

A fundamental weakness of institutional liberalism is that it views governance mainly as procedure, removing both values and power from discussions of politics as much as possible, which simply doesn’t equip people to understand raw exercises of power as the normal part of the system that they are.

It’s unreal the lengths that conservatives will go to keep kids away from affirming materials when the call is actually coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE! Books don’t groom. People do.

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

If there’s a room where people will tell Jacob Frey how great Jacob Frey is, Jacob Frey will be in that room

For real. #mspfeed

🤔😂

Alright let's see that funding plan for every school's brand new bulletproof ballroom!

I am a high school teacher and survivor of school gun violence. Please help us create common sense legislation to stop gun violence.

Good afternoon! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

The old flag will now be referred to as the Minnesota Confederate flag, at least in my house.

There is only one as far as I’m concerned

OBAMA’S DEAL WITH IRAN WAS AN ACTUAL DEAL AND DIDN’T COST ANYTHING

Today is day 141 of the ICE occupation of MN. This thread exemplifies the actions of ordinary Minnesotans, who have spent the last five months doing whatever is needed to help their immigrant neighbors - mostly be doing things they never would have imagined before!

You guys. A goose is nesting under the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. This is our Romulus and Remus moment. We already became ungovernable. Now we become myth. #Minneapolis.

How is it that the #mayor of #Minneapolis has all the power to run the city and gets none of the blame for what's wrong with it? If he's in charge and has so much power, how can failures be the fault of the City Council?

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them. The graves of multiple children have been defaced. One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

Catholic leaders need to stay out of politics. Except when they are endorsing Trump or denying Democratic politicians communion.

Also call Sen. Tim Sheehy, Montana. From the Star Tribune: "Republican Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana, who grew up near Anoka and canoed the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, said he will support today's vote to allow mining outside the BWCAW, but that is was "not an easy decision" to make"

When LGBTQ+ issues are regularly treated as distraction or luxury; it’s a flattens both policy and community. Working on bathhouses isn’t frivolous, it’s about public health, economics, safety, dignity, and repair. You might not use them, that’s fine. Some people do, let’s have the conversation!

As soon as today, the US Senate will vote on a House resolution that allows copper mining by a Chilean company near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Boundary Waters is the most-visited wilderness area in the country, and it cannot be replaced.

Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

In the running for greatest giveaway of all time

“That just doesn’t make sense to me — when the richest people have the smallest effective tax rate, that does not seem like a very fair system.” #LiftTheCap

This post is still live on X.

Speaking of Threads, this one got me in the feels.

Markey: "They were planning an actual genocide -- a destruction of a civilization. That's why Trump should be impeached, that's why Democrats should file impeachment articles against Trump, that's why the 25th Amendment to remove me should be invoked."

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

@klobuchar.senate.gov, ask for articles of impeachment now! We cannot afford another hour. History has its eyes on you.

We can actually vote for a country like this, America, rather than obsessing about what folks have or don’t have between their legs. I won’t let us forget that our transphobia has gotten us here.

"You do realize that impeaching Trump again won't work because rEpUbLiCaNs wIlL jUsT bLoCk it, right?" I. Don't. Care. Do it anyway. If blocked, do it again. Make them all get on record for supporting this lunatic. Bring all other government functionality to a halt. I am out of fucks to give.

"if i were in a position of power" is a hell of a thing for a [checks notes] senator to say.

There you go @nytimes.com
