The Republican Party's descent into open Islamophobia is not just disgusting — it's also completely un-American. Muslims have been part of the American experiment since before this country began. We will not let the GOP smear millions of Muslim Americans in order to distract from Trump's failures.
the paella is apparently sacrilegious because it has chorizo in it, but i'm just really banking on this being a "it's the thought that counts" situation
Important for pro-democracy Spaniards to know that the Minnesota State Fair has a paella truck with the tagline The Hotdish of Spain.
I’m just saying the cross-Atlantic solidarity runs deep.
This clips are incredible, but it’s truly worth watching this one all the way to the end for the “there were no books” kicker
Under pressure from Trump, Gov Polis is considering pardoning an unrepentant MAGA election saboteur. @brianbeutler.bsky.social has some food for thought for advocates. www.offmessage.net/p/impeach-ja...
Bro asked for the Platner.
MPD's "duty to intervene" is meaningless when his police force worked through the last few months without a single intervention. He should just acknowledge there was no amount of lawlessness federal agents could've done that would have triggered an intervention.
everyone said it at the time so this isn’t novel, but the excusing of the IDF bombing schools and hospitals in Gaza was very obviously setting the stage for mass civilian murder from much bigger militaries, and most specifically the US
american society in 2026 is hateful bigots complaining to the imaginary referee that they shouldn't have to learn new things or ever be uncomfortable vs. the rest of us saying "skill issue" and loving our neighbors
The absolute most disgusting, eliminationist Islamophobia from multiple members of the House Republican caucus continues to spew forth without acknowledgment or censure
Perfect example of how nothing is ever a real position. Everything is a little commentary about messaging and strategy that way you never have to take a real stand on anything meaningful.
Ah great, it appears that hadn't been added to this thread yet when I replied. I'm glad they've added it!

A key test for reading comprehension this week will be understanding that voting for a war powers resolution is not the same thing as voting for an authorization for the use of military force, and has precisely the opposite effect
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Weird to repost this today without sharing the updates about her response to the initial story? Maybe this was simply a scheduled post, but bad look to not include the new information and let your audience form a more complete picture.
An important statement from @repyassansari.bsky.social. Her loved ones have experienced this repressive Iranian regime first hand - and she knows that Trump's reckless bombing and warmongering will not bring peace, security, or self-determination to the Iranian people.
this is the only possible path to disincentivize this clearly corrupt concentration of power, and following through on this promise is essential to the total societal rebuild we will need
If you don't want a vote on matters of war and peace, gtfo of congress, because that's literally your job.
If you think it's better to leave those matters to the likes of Trump and Hegseth, gtfo of Democratic politics.
I'm glad we have a surplus, and the economic policies of the Walz team have been really solid. Now, time to use some of those dollars to keep our neighbors fed and in their homes. Rent is due.

So I just got a statement from California AG Bonta's office:
"Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny — the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review"
They’re committing horrifying atrocities, and they are also living large on our dime. Kash going to the Olympics, Noem buying herself luxury jets. They want to be famous celebrities.
Retired CFPB Union Member Alexis Goldstein explains why she stood up to DOGE (and was fired for it). #stopvought #savecfpb
Nurul Amin Shah Alam should be alive.
the earlier reporting, seen here, demonstrates that DHS is just discarding people thoughtlessly. How many have died like this?
also seems like buffalo police detective Richard Hy is a real piece of work!

we've seen this for months here in MN with ICE releasing people from Whipple into freezing temps in the middle of the night. They've dropped people off miles from where they live, without their phones or possessions. Entire aid networks have been constructed to just keep these neighbors alive.
a horrifying story. This regime is killing people in point blank murders, but also though the violence and cruelty of carelessly throwing people in a system designed to treat them as less than human.

Glad he’s stepping down. Even though the emails in question were strictly about business, why did he send so many of them even after Epstein’s initial conviction and prison sentence
So roughly still 6X pre-surge, down from 16X, and planning for 3X long run.
This was Trump’s last state of the union speech. A Democratic speaker can simply not invite him to do another one, and that’s just table stakes at this point.
That is not the main reason to retake the House, but it sure is a nice addition.
While everybody’s online for SOTU, please consider taking a moment to support this incredible effort to feed folks in the Twin Cities.
The work (that doesn’t just feed vegans, that’s just the organizing entity!) is more important than ever. The need isn’t decreasing, and your support is a lifeline.
