Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Stop falling for the “untrained” narrative.

We are seeing utter #ICELawlessness! On the same day, & just hours after #ICE murdered Renee Nicole Good, they rampage at a Minneapolis high school & tackle & brutalize a teacher who was trying to ask them to leave because students were being dismissed at this time. Greg Bovino was there recording.

Strands #677 “For cubs fans” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🟡🔵🔵 Quick and easy but 🤔 not sure about one of those.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Jimmy Kimmel dug up a video of Stephen Miller in high school. He’s always been a complete asshole.

It’s come to the point where even Friday doesn’t feel festive. Brutal week.

Yeah, can we get a status on those Epstein files?

Name a song with the word "Long" in the title or lyrics...🎶

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "We have an ICE agent who should have been trained not to be in front of a vehicle and never to shoot into a moving vehicle, and yet this happened on [Kristi Noem's] watch. The whole POINT of Homeland Security is to make this country more stable and safe."

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

The New York Times released a forensic analysis of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. The video completely refutes the Trump administration’s BS.

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

He needs to be stopped.

Strands #675 “Open wide” 🔵🔵🟡🔵 🔵🔵 I fortunately (maybe unfortunately) am quite familiar with this.

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

Never Forget!

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary. And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

Despicable!

To be clear: the American president doesn’t declare war, Congress does, and the fact that the administration left Congress completely out of the decision to invade Venezuela is a real problem. youtu.be/vxFTKlah9uE

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

The Trump administration has erased the history of slavery, the women’s suffrage movement, and the civil rights movement from new commemorative coins. They rejected bipartisan recommendations to feature Frederick Douglass and Ruby Bridges and instead will feature white men, including Trump.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Famed primatologist Jane Goodall gave an interview on Netflix's show "Famous Last Words" that would only be released after her death. Goodall shared some candid words about world leaders.

Strands #673 “Slapped together” 🔵🔵🟡🔵 🔵🔵🔵 Somehow I got this quickly but not sure about that theme. 🤷🏼‍♀️

President Obama couldn’t create a healthcare program without full scale condemnation. President Biden couldn’t forgive student debt without calls for him to be prosecuted. The orange felon covers up child sex crimes and bombs other countries and republicans are pleased.

Pete Buttigieg: “It’s an old & obvious pattern. An unpopular president — failing on the economy & losing his grip on power at home — decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one”

If you don't know this fellow resister, you're missing out. And she does a NON POLITICAL music game that's a nice respite from *all of this*. Music is a big part of my life and I love the challenge and little escape Monica provides. Carry on. (my wayward son...)

Ok let’s keep playing this.

Rep. Seth Moulton: "This is insane. What the hell are we doing? ... this is illegal."

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions. Apple doesn't recognise unions. Amazon is anti-union. McDonald's is anti-union. Starbucks is anti-union. Google is anti-union. Walmart is anti-union. The big corporations are not on your side.

Rep. Seth Moulton comes on CNN and starts by saying: "Is anyone going to just stop for a second and be honest? This is insane. What the hell are we doing? We've got a lot of problems in America today, and invading / occupying / running Venezuela does not solve any of them."
