A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

One month in and we begin 2026 under occupation. Stand up for our neighbors and community by organizing ICE Watch on your block, joining patrol in your neighborhoods, showing up when a need comes up, and having deliberate conversations with your friends to get them involved!

They're being targeted for their skill set so they cam live indefinately in chains to work for nothing, while never actually being charged & tried for anything. If they don't comply, they are beaten. Or worse. That's slavery. Real time, concentration camp labor slavery. The slaves must be freed.

It’s Day 28 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today we were reminded of the importance of taking the time to connect in person, not just online. This is your reminder to get a cup of tea with someone, to share a good long hug, or a laugh with a friend. We are resilient, but resilience needs fuel.

It IS a concentration camp.

"What I think is lacking is, was there even an attempt made to try to verify the accuracy of what he was saying, or did they simply take him at his word?" says University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley about a recent video made accusing Somali-owned day care centers of fraud.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

I already knew about the great food, great drinks, and great service at Hola Arepa, but I was not familiar with this aspect of their game. Now I have another reason to eat there again.

A Mexican woman was grabbed by ICE right after a c section. She was suffering eclampsia and other complications, and her baby was alone in the NICU They wouldn’t even give her a breast pump She has a pending visa for victims of violent crimes… and then ICE committed a violent crime against her.

Seriously

The Van Hollen spokesperson fired back, accusing Halber of running cover for the Israeli government and failing to represent the range of viewpoints in Maryland’s Jewish community.

Join us - the path to collective liberation has to move away from incarceration!

Donald Trump has been a Russian asset since his first trip to Moscow in 1987. Freeze Trump out immediately. Trump is the enemy.

The Department of Education wants to limit what degrees count as “professional”, impacting people’s ability to access loans. Unsurprisingly, it’s women dominated professions being targeted. It’s also a disability rights issue as they’re targeting paramedical programs. NPs, PTs, SLPs & social work

Excellent Townhall with @doronclark.bsky.social and Rep Sydney Jordan tonight - we are blessed with brilliant and fun state legislators in 60A! Let’s re elect them!

No

I’ll be the only publicly out LGBTQIA+ person on the Minneapolis City Council next year. I need a congresswoman who unapologetically pro-LGBTQIA+ (@ilhanmn.bsky.social). NOT this candidate below who will have you confused if they will vote with democrats or republicans. I guess I’ll caucus now.

"Of course, I don't talk to most of my constituents -- my staff filters who I actually have to talk to, so I don't ever meet with leftists, people with dirty hands, sick people who might make me look bad in a photo op... basically I meet with investment bankers and kids who won essay contests."

President Trump has pardoned scores of allies, including Rudy Giuliani, who faced accusations of interference in the 2020 election.

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

Who benefits from 50 year mortgages: banks, developers, realtors, estate lawyers. Who gets screwed: everyone else.

I strongly get the sense that even brutal dictatorships would be a bit embarrassed to publicly appear as utterly dysfunctional as the United States does these days.

There was a time when she spoke out against sexual harassment perpetrated by people like Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly, but that was a different Kelly. Now as long as she likes the job they’re doing, getting a little “handsy” is ok.

You, me, every workaday taxpayer in the US are being forced to pay into an insurance program for greedy CEOs who take insane risks with other people's $, pocket any gains & make us cover their losses. TARP & every corporate bailout is a financialized version of the medieval corvée & we're the serfs.

israel should not exist

999 million is enough
