Well at least domestically, my neighbors are still in hiding.

Two weak leaders convinced that war will give them what they want.

Good night y'all. See you tomorrow.

I still remember the night where my father declared, "We finally have enough money coming in that I never want liver and onions again in this house."

The situation in Minneapolis: even though the ICE presence in the city is greatly reduced, and national attention has moved on, a huge portion of our population remains essentially in hiding, devastating the schools and economy. In particular, much of the education system remains in crisis

Federal government halts $260M Medicaid funds to Minnesota over fraud Vice President JD Vance announced a $260 million funding pause on Wednesday, as part of a crackdown on health care fraud. A Minnesota mom whose 14-year-old daughter with cerebral palsy and epilepsy re...

This isn’t a deferral, it’s a ransom note. The Trump Administration is using kids as pawns in their campaign of retribution against our state.

The cuts to existing programs and graduate research fellowships have a pattern: the Trump Administration is dismantling our ability to study ecology, biodiversity science, and climate research:

They’re putting Silicon Valley billionaires above studying Earth’s life support system.

So now the IRS is working with the DHS in giving addresses to legal immigrants. That means the Regime is not just going after illegal immigrants. They are going after all immigrants. This shows how racist the Regime is.

Anyone seen this movie before?

Deputized for Disaster | American Civil Liberties Union Deputized for Disaster, details how the Trump administration is drastically expanding the federal 287(g) program to transform state and local law enforcement into a national deportation policing force...

A new ACLU report documenting ICE's expansion of the 287(g) program to build out a national deportation policing force.
The administration is enlisting thousands of state and local police to conduct dragnet-style enforcement.

Lots of activity at Whipple this morning, more than usual. Supposed early morning activity in Saint Paul as well. Head on a swivel.

When government agents impersonate missing‑person investigators to snatch a college student from her dorm, that’s not “enforcement.” It’s state‑sponsored deceit. It’s the playbook of regimes we condemn. And it should terrify anyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law.

I've made this point before, but I can't count how many times grave injustices, clear wrongful convictions, & other Constitutional abrogations ignored in southern states for years were addressed only after hitting the docket of a black judge elected by a majority-minority "opportunity district."

If you’re wondering why the Trump Administration is cutting off health care for people across our state - look no further than the President’s own words:

“retribution is coming”

In case anyone’s getting comfy or excited about “going back to normal.” Do not make this normal. Don’t do it!!

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

This is to remind people that Trump lied when he told us this billion dollar operation “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program when in fact we just learned (from Trump’s Iran envoy!) it did nothing and Iran is now a week away from having a bomb.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.

it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

Kat Abughazaleh on ICE in IL-9 debate

"We need to fully abolish and prosecute ICE. We need to repeal the Patriot Act. We need to lift refugee caps.

And we need to offer complete amnesty and citizenship to any immigrant here who has not committed a violent crime."

Jeffries: "The cult-like behavior of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle is a complete and total abdication of their responsibility to conduct themselves like a separate and co-equal branch of government"

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

So Minnesota is supposed to review every appointment by a Medicaid recipient with every doctor to get funds already lawfully allocated to the state?! AYFKM???

They are destroying the social safety net to save it.

This is how white nationalism undermines very basic thinking.

I interned in a state Medicaid/Medicare audit unit. The idea that states do not do this already is absurd and is only justified if you are incensed that non-white people receive equal benefits that they are entitled to under the law.

VP Vance is falsely claiming the Trump Admin somehow has the “inherent” authority to just unilaterally withhold from MN mandatory federal #Medicaid funding to which the state is entitled.

In Rep. Tony Gonzales, Republicans have a sexual predator in their midst who relentlessly pursued a married staffer which ultimately resulted in her suicide, and they refuse to do anything about it because they need his vote.

That is the 2026 Republican Party.

Republicans Move To Censure Al Green After Disruption Of SOTU | NewsRadio 740 KTRH | KTRH Local Houston and Texas News For the second year in a row, Houston-area Representative Al Green was ejected from an address by the President to a joint session of Congress after disrupting the speech.

One Texas congressman, Al Green (Dem.), holds up a sign at the State of the Union. Republicans: Censure!

Another Texas congressman, Tony Gonzales (Rep.), sexually harasses a staffer who then commits suicide.
Republicans: Crickets.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

This essentially makes any appropriations package that Dems agree to vote for utterly worthless. How can any Dem vote for any appropriation as part of negotiations when JD Vance will just grab the money if it’s going to a blue state? bsky.app/profile/atru...
