I flew in today. The whole situation is much less alarming than MSM would have you believe.

USians as a culture are inherently racist (sorry if you aren’t but that’s how it’s viewed), especially to allies like Mexico. Traditionally Mexican social media keeps to itself in Spanish so it doesn’t even have an opportunity to correct US lies or disinformation. Yesterday’s operation changed that.

They're not stopping at your birth certificate. SAVE 2.0 would END online voter registration in , KILL mail-in registration, and STOP voter registration drives.

It's a full-scale attack on your right to vote.

Trump’s spy chief accidentally gave Congress a roadmap to investigate him. Tulsi Gabbard over-explained why she was in Georgia at an FBI raid of an election office, and β€” in the process β€” she implicated her boss.

The cover up is always worse than the crime. Imagine how big the crime is.

The Right Is Coming For Same-Sex Marriage With An Insidious New Campaign The anti-LGBTQ β€œGreater Than” campaign is leveraging children to attack the rights of same-sex married couples

β€œGreater Than” campaign says it right in the name - according to the far right, all are not created equal and certainly not queer people.

CNN Breaking news: "Another independent MN journalist, Georgia Fort, arrested. We have video of her inside her home saying that FBI agents outside her door demand she come out. So, now there are two journalist who have been arrested." She went with them after consulting with her attorney.

Minnesotans have a choice on February 3rd:

Do you want a senator who enabled Trump's cruel ICE chaos? Or a senator who has always stood up for safety for our immigrant neighbors?

To me, the answer is clear.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We can call that a confession in reverse. The fraud is indeed the distraction from illegal requests for MN voter information. The fraud has already been prosecuted and has been for a year and a half (no thanks to the Trump admin.) P.S. By all means let’s have Homan tell us about fraud & corruption.

WATCH: β€œAmerica is the place of dreams. Equal rights. That’s not how I got treated today… I was treated like an animal.”

MINNEAPOLIS β€” A LEGAL πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ CITIZEN from Liberia was choked, roughed up and hospitalized by Trump’s ICE goons demanding MORE proof of citizenship.

You’ll recall, until recently, the DOJ ran as an independent agency. Presidential influence was never supposed to be a thing.

If all you want is a special session, and no substantive result, sure, blame Walz, but until negotiations on what the R’s are willing to to approve are thru, there is no point to calling a special session.

What You Should Do Why your authentic self is your most powerful weapon

@brockm.bsky.social said it best:β€œWe already know the answer.We just have to act.”
We keep asking, β€œwhat should we do?”
But deep down,we know.We’ve always known.
We just need the moral courage to live it
