We should all be DEEPLY troubled that four justices ruled in favor of Trump’s blatantly anti-constitutional order.

PSAKI: “You’re a Democratic Socialist yourself, how do you see it?” 🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “The Republican Party’s brand is fear — if you’re not afraid of your neighbor, you’ll realize who is actually pickpocketing you: large corporations and the Trump administration. People are feared out.”

White Evangelicals don't adopt Black children out of a fondness for Black people; quite the opposite, in fact

we need more education about how the long-term punishment of Haitians is crucial to the white supremacist project a proof-point for them about why you should never rise up, how you can never be free

I remember this. It was a scandal that rocked the national news!

Twin Cities, did anyone capture that incredible sunset? Please comment with pictures! I was driving and couldn’t photograph it! 😢

All unionized #usps workers should strike over this.

Believe them when they tell you who they are.

The Trump administration just paid Invenergy $765 million to cancel four wind projects. That brings the running total to roughly $2.5 billion in taxpayer money spent to stop energy from being built. Think about that. At a time when electricity demand is rising,

Do not let anyone tell you there’s no money to build housing. If they can find money to build cages they can find money to build homes.

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common? California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

Johnson alleges "federal agents assaulted him after he followed them in his van and then, after arresting him, left him shackled to a bed for days — except for bathroom breaks and medical treatment — before he was even charged." Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/u...

On Thursday, the Minneapolis City Council will vote on the Welcoming and Gender Affirming Minneapolis Ordinance 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈, authored by myself, CM @aishaforward10.com, CM @aurinmpls.bsky.social, and CP @elliottpayne.org. 1/

I asked Norman Rockwell's granddaughter, Daisy Rockwell, about this use of her grandfather's work. She writes: "It goes without saying that they have completely misunderstood the meaning of the painting, which is tolerance for others and peaceful coexistence."

“There is no amount of press coverage that could ever fully document the scale of the ripple effect of trauma that this has on the city of Minneapolis."

Very often #Juneteenth, #tdih, is presented as a story of “news” of the Emancipation Proclamation “traveling slowly” to the Deep South and Texas, but it was really a story of power traveling slowly, and of freedom being seized. Read quotes from article by Christopher Wilson in 🧵

It’s not about making people comfortable. It’s about people being able to sit with discomfort. If more people could tolerate sitting with uncomfortable feelings, facts, and history, the world would be a much different place.

Social Security isn’t going to run dry by accident. Income inequality is draining it. Once someone makes more than $182,000, they stop paying into Social Security. Lift the cap. Make billionaires pay their fair share. Protect Social Security. #HandsOffSocialSecurity

Education Minnesota stands with educator and union member, 14 other Minnesotans facing charges related to demonstrating against ICE during Operation Metro Surge https://edmn.me/43ZhOlv

Human Rights Watch has released a comprehensive report detailing human rights abuses by the government during this winter’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, which the group alleges also violates international human rights treaties that the U.S. is signed onto.

“This house is a mess. I have so much work to do,” said Toad. Frog looked through the window. “Toad, you are right,” said Frog. “It is a mess.” Toad pulled the covers over his head.

Everyone, PLEASE call your congressional representative now! To vote no on ANY form of FY27 Interior and Environment spending bill (H.R. 9171 Sec. 441)—it will reinstate the unlawful leases of twin metals and destroy the boundary waters. CALL NOW and please spread the message!!

Trump said the repairs would cost $1.8 million. It ended up costing $14 million. The company doing the repairs got a no-bid contract that baked in a 20% profit margin. The typical federal construction contract profit margin is 6% to 12%. Where’s the uproar about waste, fraud, and abuse now?

may we remember speaker hortman every time a kid in Minnesota eats their free lunch. every time a trans person moves to mn for safety. when an undocumented person gets their driver’s license or a returning citizen gets to vote. when we have clean energy and electric school buses and warm homes.

I miss this man. Both of them, actually, Souza and Obama.💚🧡

When a giant pencil gives an oak tree a plaque and it makes you cry a little. What are these times we live in.

Just when I thought I couldn't admire Emma Thompson any more, I read that when they were filming "Sense and Sensibility" she noticed that Kate Winslet was skipping meals. She told her that she was perfect and gave her a copy of "The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women."

This makes me miss my Great Dane. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. 🤣😂😂😭😭 #GreatDane

feds should've listened to MIRAC last june "when ICE is in our neighborhoods for whatever reason, we will respond. when immigrants are threatened with guns in our streets, when frey, o'hara and witt violate & threaten our sanctuary city policies to suddenly appease trump, we will respond."

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸 (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

"If Americans don't like kings, how come 'The Lion King' is so popular on Broadway? Huh? Explain that to me."

We still have not gotten the full story about Trump’s ballroom but his comments today about drones and missiles and snipers indicates there are much worse things going on there than a mere vanity project

Once again, the kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. I’m sure the eventual books from Haberman & Tapper/Thompson will be fantastic bestsellers, though.

One reason why violent men go unpunished is because right wing extremists see horrific acts of violence by men against women and respond by demanding deadly laws against women.😐

We will not be silent. We will not be intimidated. And we will not go back!

This is the bazillionth reason why no one should flippantly talk about getting rid of the southern states. We should never turn our backs on the powerful organizing happening there. We should not cast away the activists working to make change — and who in doing so risk way more than we do up north.

We keep hearing folks rejecting the warning bells about the trans genocide, saying “it’s not like there’s gas chambers & ovens”. Aside from the reality that the Holocaust didn’t start w/ gas chambers & ovens, this comes from an ignorant understanding of what a genocide is. Let’s talk about it. 1/15

“What is Speaker Lisa Demuth so afraid of? The very fact that she’s breaking her promise to Annunciation families to not block the bill from coming to the floor, tells me that she’s afraid it will pass.” - Minnesota State Rep. Samantha Sencer-Mura

OH — speaking of #mnpol tea: demuth’s daughter is once again dragging her ass & publicly calling her out on her shit; demuth is currently the leading candidate for GOP nom as governor & collaborated with nick shirley

BREAKING: SCOTUS has denied Democrats' request for a stay on the Virginia redistricting case. This means that the VA Supreme Court ruling stands. This is what Democrats get for asking permission. It is beyond absurd that they asked a 6-3 MAGA fascist court for permission. They need to ACT ASAP.

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

You can take all the corruption from every single US administration in history, add it all together, and it will not equal the amount of corruption committed by the Trump Regime in less than two years.
