They Didn’t Come to Protect Minneapolis. They Came to Provoke It. A woman is dead after an encounter with ICE agents in Minneapolis, and the rush to justify it tells us everything about where this country is headed — toward provocation, federalized force, and invest

A woman is dead in Minneapolis after ICE agents opened fire.
I don’t need to be a use-of-force expert to say this plainly: she did not need to be shot.

This is a dark day in American history

Elon Musk indicates he’s ‘going all in’ on financing the GOP again ahead of midterms After faltering in his plan to found a new ‘America Party’, the world’s richest person is returning to the GOP fold

Of course. Musk says he’s “going all in” on financing the GOP ahead of the midterms. Keep boycotting Tesla their year-over-year sales are down again. Great work!

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

With ZERO fucks left to give, Caroline Kennedy, throws down the gauntlet on the loathsome piece of shit for his desecration of The Kennedy Center. 😳👇

Our broken child care system can learn a lot from New Mexico - the state that is leading the way in guaranteeing free child care for all.

There is no better rate of return than investing in our children.

The rest of the country should follow New Mexico’s lead.

Bless our nurses

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.

They are openly saying this.

Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

Congressional Republicans know Americans are furious about skyrocketing premiums and the nearly $2,000 Trump tariff tax hitting every family—yet they’re more worried about Trump attacking them than about doing the right thing.

“Back to the Island” is my all time fave.

This is America today. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Your daily reminder:

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

We knew all along! 😉🐈‍⬛

They are going to target social media platforms too. When they do, censorship will rapidly escalate.

Prepare to inform your followers to move to alternatives (Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Flashes, Skylight Social). Share why you’re leaving and where you’re going.

This will be vital for resistance.

Many kudos to the Epstein survivors who spoke out today about all sorts of abuses they have endured over the years. They are real heroes!
