My heart grieves. We have learned nothing about our imperialist wars. Get ready for them to prop up the Shah’s son like we are in the Middle Ages. If you don’t think that Islamophobia is playing a big role in this Christian nationalist government’s foreign policy, you are asleep at the wheel.

If Trump gets his war with Iran he might try to use that as the emergency under which he takes power over elections since he and the GOP aren’t looking hot in the poles.

We had a deal with Iran to ensure limits on its nuclear capacities. Trump ended that deal. Now he says that sending our young people off to fight and potentially lose their lives for this country is just a β€˜cost of war.’ This is the cost of his broken promises. No war with Iran.

There is no reason for this besides the persecution of trans people. This is evil.

Why does it tell the story of America and not the story of Republican governance?

Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.

Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.

Reduction of forces does not promise an end to tactics. Reduction of forces does not promise safety for immigrants and others harmed by ICE. Reduction of forces does not promise justice for immigrants and others harmed by ICE. Reduction of forces in MN doesn’t mean they won’t do this elsewhere.

I see many people sharing Trump’s recent post and calling out the obvious racism in it. While it is absolutely disgusting, it is not at all surprising. Trumps racism (and misogyny, ableism, transphobia) have been on full display since before he was ever elected (the first time).

Her failure depends on the candidate(s) running against her. (In part)

I hope her campaign for governor doesn’t become like the Dem. Primary for POTUS in 2016, where the party never gives challengers a true shot at the nomination.

And they are just Lutheran grandmothers, they are Catholic, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and more!

I liked one person’s description of the resistance here in Minnesota as one of neighborliness. Mr Roger’s would be proud.

Abolishing ICE is not enough. All of DHS needs to be abolished and all the people apart of it need to be prosecuted.

DHS and ICE come out of post 9/11 racism, so attacking black and brown people is in the institutional DNA.

They are traumatizing more than just the cities. Their trauma is reaching most of the state.

The way ICE is acting on Minnesota streets is as reminiscent of slave patrols as the Gestapo. We need not compare what is happening to history in another place, because it harkens back to our own history. It is our inability to recon with and repent of our history that has gotten us here today.

What we are experiencing in the US right now is not a new American version of Nazi style fascism. What we are experiencing is the continuation and grown the home grown White Supremacy and Christian Nationalism.

Please pay attention to the dissonance between Trump’s praise and support of protests in Iran and his discussion of calling in the military on protests in Minneapolis and Minnesota. In both cases people are protesting authoritarian government.

It is my fear. And sadly many of my neighbors (we are 20-30 miles from Minneapolis) would cheer on such Imperial action from the Feds in the city.

A screenshot from The Independent that says -- Top Democrats decline to say if they would push to rein in ICE funding after Minnesota shooting

Schumer & Jeffries were asked by The Independent if they would cut ICE funding should they take back the House in November.

They both declined to comment.

The correct answer would've been an enthusiastic "YES".
