We’ve seen lots of reports of legal observers being arrested in North Minneapolis, South Minneapolis, and Eden Prairie. Exercising your first amendment right to observe is not a crime.

This is exactly why congress can’t give another penny to DHS.

U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison said detainees at the Whipple Federal Building outside Minneapolis are sleeping on the concrete floor with tinfoil-like blankets.

Morrison was able to tour the immigration detention facility to observe conditions after a previous attempt was denied.

NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

It’s like maybe people are figuring out that laborers buy the encouragement to abandon ourselves to our great disadvantage. I learned that personally this year. More of this would be great (and yeah don’t lose focus on racism/bigotry either.)

Why? Because violent misogyny is a highly effective bonding agent among men & it works across all the other boundaries that divide men against each other: class, race, religion, even sexuality.

To build a global elite network among men, the fastest & strongest bond to create is "bros before hoes."

Yes & specifically it shows that status competition in these elite networks isn't based on money, but on impunity.

The ability to do wildly illegal or immoral things &--this is the important part--get away with it.

Serial rape, especially of children, is the ultimate status symbol for these men.

I feel like they base their behaviors, including how to drive and handle firearms, solely on movies and video games. Amazing that more people aren’t wounded or dead.

Dear journalists,
We repeatedly warned that you were contributing to the Trump's fascistic rise & were putting yourselves in jeopardy by propping him up.

Minority journalists are being targeted today, tomorrow it may be you.

Suggestion:
Every headline, every day 6" above the fold⬇️

IMPEACH HIM NOW

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, β€˜Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is where America is now

So we have two immigrant heroes. One in Australia who helped disarm one of the shooters and one in the US who helped track down the Brown U shooter. When a man stabbed several people in the UK, it was also an immigrant who disarmed him.

Weird that the Far Right keeps vilifying immigrants.

RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy β€” in this case, that vaccines save lives β€” and bend the health department to his will.
