Minnesotan by marriage and by choice. Comments here are my own, no one else forces me or pays me to say this stuff. I am open to NIL agreements.

The national guard needs to be out protecting Minnesotans from this lawless goon squad

After Trump, the Flood On the ending of things and the need for post-diluvian politics.

There is no pre-Trump world to which we can return. That has all been washed away.

And there is no near future that is not defined by him and the cataclysm of his rule.

Cold War? The North didnโ€™t win the Civil War. MAGA is a return to 1860 not 1945.

Trump has fundamentally remade American politics at home and abroad. We are not so much in a fight to defend our democracy as to rebuild it. And we will have to find our way in a new international order, one in which Trump and his cohort are determined to act as villains.

Get in the car with a commuter and check plates. Stand watch at a day care with a 3D printed whistle around your neck. Deliver food to those who are afraid to leave their homes. Be a servant leader!

Minnesotans are out here in the cold standing up for our constitution and our community. Itโ€™s time to leave the comfort of your donor events and DC cocktail parties and meet the moment. Match the grit and determination of those you are supposed to lead.

You donโ€™t make these posts or read these comments. Your social media team is doing you a disservice by posting this drivel and not showing you how poorly it hits.

Why does this post just summarize what (I assume) the article is saying? Do you think your constituents canโ€™t read? Instead of simply regurgitating why donโ€™t you contribute? Say something original. Anything. Bonus points if itโ€™s meaningful or impactful.

Then after saying something, DO something!

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law

Abolish ICE.

Do not fund this lawless regime.

Bring the senate to a standstill.

Deny unanimous consent.

Hold a press conference everyday.

If we Minnesotans can stand in the cold to defend our communities and our constitution, the least you can do is leave the comfort of your office.

In this scenario, isnโ€™t it the person hiring for a lower wage really the one who is the criminal? Wouldnโ€™t we cut the snake off at the head? Isnโ€™t that where immigration enforcement should focus their attention?

I hope youโ€™re right.

In the meantime I pledge to work to make sure you are right.

โ€œRight nowโ€ is the time to grind the government to a halt and expose this regime for what they are - lawless and unlawful. There will be no vote unless you make it painful to not have a vote.

You are the opposition party, start acting like it.

Whereโ€™s the GOP senate and the 7 Dems who voted with them?

The ball didnโ€™t just โ€œdropโ€ b/c gravity.

I donโ€™t expect much from the Bezos controlled WP. He got his from this admin. Fu** those who need a social safety net.

They benefit from the extraction economy. Time to extract some of their wealth

Dem platform needs to be:
1) abolish ICE
2) restore the White House
3) enforce the emoluments clause
4) nationalize Star Link

Forget boycotting Target. We need a national boycott of all Paramount/Skydance products.

1) this post was 22 days ago, before the recent elections

2) voters are rejecting republican extremism. I am absolutely thrilled.

3) democrats have not created an effective opposition party (i.e. the Trump regime still acts with lawless impunity)

Both 2 & 3 can be true.

Youโ€™re coming in awful hot and late to a convo from 3 weeks ago without doing the reading (Tim Snyderโ€™s argument for a โ€œshadow cabinetโ€)

And who is the โ€œyouโ€ youโ€™re talking about. I voted. I vote. Every time.

I am not your enemy.
