A federal agent killed a U.S. citizen in a state that never asked for federal involvement β€” and now the federal government is blocking that state from investigating the killing.

That isn’t federalism.

That isn’t public safety.

That is occupation.

Donald Trump Has Declared War On Minnesotaβ€”And Tim Walz Is Ready Trump's most devastating war might be the one he's waging right here at home

In Minnesota, the federal government is no longer a trusted authorityβ€”it’s an active threat. After ICE’s massive deployment and fatal shooting of a Minneapolis resident, Governor Tim Walz has put the National Guard on alert and focused his efforts on defending his state from the regime’s extremism.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

I know you’re new to Congress, Mr. Fine, but we don’t call our colleagues terrorists here. It just makes you look idiotic. At a time when MN Democrats have been targeted for assassination by a right-wing extremist, your rhetoric is seriously dangerous. Apologize now.

@ianjames.bsky.social Thanks for great article about construction of the San Jacinto Tunnel built
by the MWD. My father was a surveyor
for them before WWII, about 1936-1941. He told me about placement of them, and walking inside them β€” so big!
I’m buying a copy and of β€œA Water Odyssey”

As a Columbia alumnus (MA, MPhil, PhD), it’s hard right now to recommend the school to immigrants, with ambitions of academic freedoms and Nobel Prizes β€” graduates and faculty have won 88 of them β€” given it cares more about appeasing the Government than about academic integrity.

@karaswisher.bsky.social I just had a horrible thought: could Trump use the George Wallace/Lurleen model and run Melania for President? Oh, God, no!
