A woman in a light purple wig sits in passenger seat of zamboni, holding a banner which states "no ICE, no more, no kings, no fear" in same font and colors as Minnesota Frost team iconography.

Absolute Queen behavior from the Zamboni Rider today at the Minnesota Frost game.
No ICE
No War
No Kings

No Fear.

They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.

Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?

It’s Super Mario Day!
Imagine if Mario only had one power up the whole game. No mushrooms. No fire flowers. No stars.
That wouldn’t be much fun.
Voting shouldn’t be limited either.
Ranked Choice Voting lets voters rank their choices, so elections reflect what voters actually want.

Politics has reached a boiling point, but Ranked Choice Voting can lower the temperature.

Ranked Choice Voting is a simple upgrade to the way we vote that allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference. If your first choice can't win, then your vote counts for your second choice.

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Prior to 2015, if any candidate for elected office had begun a public statement or tweet with this sentence, he or she would have been laughed out of public life.

Now, Americans re-elect them as commander-in-chief. I will never allow myself to become numb to his insanity.

How the H-1B Visa Debate Is Driving a Wave of Racism Against South Asians A dispute over the impact of H-1B visas on U.S. workers has been overshadowed by racist rhetoric, with troubling echoes of the great replacement conspiracy theory.

Anger over the H-1B visa program has helped ignite racist rhetoric targeting the Indian community across the U.S., and in Frisco, Texas — where someone identifying himself as a college student told a recent City Council meeting, "We must maintain our Rhodesia." nyti.ms/4tMxgwX

Today we honor Susan B. Anthony, who fought for a simple, radical idea: democracy only works when everyone’s voice counts.

She never saw women’s suffrage, but she showed us how change happens. Organize. Educate. Keep going.

In Michigan, we’re building that future with Ranked Choice Voting.
