Gov. Tim Walz is running again, and his experience is exactly what this moment demands. He warns: "It's going to get worse before it gets better, but it will come to an end. History will not be kind to these people."

He's right. History doesn't honor oppressors, it honors those who resist.

Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

I agree.

In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

I pray he is still alive! 🙏

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

We are currently living in The Age of Incompetent Hypocrites.

Trump and Musk think this country belongs to them. TOLEDO is fighting back! They're taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care, our data, our jobs, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.

Russia ended the ceasefire in Ukraine it negotiated with Trump minutes after agreeing to it. Trump is a failure and clown.

Putin has now attacked a hospital in Sumy, and the cities of Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Cherkasy regions.

Federal judge blocks Trump effort to ban transgender troops from military service The decision by U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes blocks the Department of Defense from carrying through with a policy directive designed to remove transgender service members from the military.

Happy to see this decision.

Trans rights are human rights.

"Indeed, the cruel irony is that thousands of transgender servicemembers have sacrificed some risking their lives – to ensure for others the very equal protection rights the Military Ban seeks to deny them."

A vivid description of how the US treats people in immigration detention for infractions as nonsensical as “accidentally got in the wrong freeway lane without a passport”

YouTube video by MSNBC ‘There’s hope’: Republicans break ranks to block anti-trans bills in Montana

Republicans in Montana just voted down two trans bills! Maybe the light we see at the end of the tunnel isn’t a train after all. #MomSky

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated.

It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing.

I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

Plus they don’t cause autism

Banning words?

What happens if we use a banned word?

My husband and I are currently in India for a friends wedding and it has been an adventure!

Thanking Jesus for screwing over the poor is peak Republicanism.
