Lisa Demuth: The behavior we saw over the weekend with protestors disrupting church services over suspicion of political differences, is absolutely unacceptable.
Every leader should condemn this blatant attempt to stifle freedom of speech and religion. 
Peaceful protest is a part of the foundation of our country -- shutting down a house of worship because you disagree with one of its leaders is not.

Shelisa Demuth: hey mom. let me remind you that your right to work and vote and marry the man you love as a Black woman was thanks to protests a lot like this one. and now look at the power you hold. it's only because of the dissent of those who came before you. injustice to anyone is injustice to everyone. you should be outraged. it's not supposed to be comfortable to challenge systems and make change. at least now you're paying attention.

Minnesota's Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth made a Facebook post critical of an anti-ICE protest at a church, and got ratioed by her own daughter in the comments www.facebook.com/LisaforMN/po...

Let’s quit calling them ICE and start calling them what they really are, the Gestapo.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

China was the largest export market for American farmers in 2024. They bought 27 metric tons of soybeans last year. They stopped buying in 2025 when Trump started his trade war. These are simple, obvious, basic facts. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The White House’s Movie Theater Is Among the East Wing Rubble Nixon watched β€œPatton” there. Obama hosted the β€œLincoln” cast. Built in 1942, the White House’s private movie theater offered refuge and entertainment.

For decades, the White House’s 42-seat movie theater was a refuge for the commander in chief. Now it is gone, demolished this week along with the rest of the East Wing as part of President Trump’s efforts to construct a $300 million ballroom.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Just wondering if Toronto wins the World Series will they be invited to the White House? Also is it too soon to start a Go Fund Me for the demolition of Trump’s vanity project and the restoration of the East Wing?

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.
