Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Sen. Mark Kelly fires back after Hegseth threatens his rank and retirement pay Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has launched administrative action against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain and astronaut, which could affect Kelly's rank and retirement pay.

For over two thousand years Christians have been warning us about the antichrist.

When he finally shows up, they vote him into office.

Trump Administration Will No Longer Commemorate World AIDS Day

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Floridians, register to vote today.

Hawk out today for prey

A desperate Trump downplays domestic violence The government has taken great strides to address intimate partner violence as a public health and safety crisis. But the man at the top can't take it seriously.

Trump Celebrates Labor Day as the Most Anti-Union President Ever His unbound union busting is one front of his war on democracy.

We've got more for you on Labor Day. More than 82 percent of civilian federal workers have had their right to collectively bargain stripped in the largest act of union busting in US history. Unions are a voice from below, and their autonomy poses a threat to autocrats, Harold Meyerson writes:

Trump prepares to wipe out years of progress on gun violence An executive order threatens “ghost gun” regulations, red flag laws, and more.

Reminder: Since being elected, Trump has moved quickly to undo progress made with gun safety policies.

FBI Targets Yet Another Trump Enemy Because He Made Trump Mad Donald Trump’s FBI searched the home of John Bolton, who became one of the president’s most prominent foes after leaving his first administration.

We did not put John Bolton’s name in the headline for a reason. It’s not about him, per se; it’s about the numerous people who Trump wants the government to destroy because they hurt Trump’s feelings

Hegseth authorizes Guard troops in DC to carry weapons Defense Secretary Hegseth has signed an order allowing Guard troops in D.C. to be armed. The authority is expected to be acted upon in coming days.

Hegseth authorized the National Guard in DC to carry weapons.

This is another escalation that puts DC communities in even more danger.

We should not have armed soldiers patrolling the streets of any U.S. city, let alone our nation’s capital.

We the people demand federal forces out NOW. #FreeDC

YouTube video by Democracy Docket Redistricting Becomes Trump’s Obvious Ploy to Rig the 2026 Elections | Marc Elias

Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...

President Zelenskyy:

When Russia raises the issue of security guarantees,I honestly don't know who is threatening them yet.They attacked us, they’re on our land.I don't quite understand what guarantees the aggressor needs.Guarantees of what?

Reminder:
Donald Trump was indicted on 40 felony counts for stealing classified documents, which he kept in a public bathroom in his country club that is frequented by foreign nationals, and the case was dismissed by a judge he appointed.

Reposting to remind everyone what we are doing here!

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

The DOJ’s decision to ask that the officer found guilty of violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor in 2020 be sentenced to 1 day in jail is one more step by this government towards injustice, and a betrayal of a jury’s verdict which held the officer responsible for attempted murder.
