We have spent more than two decades paying for the warmongering of neocons. We have spent trillions of dollars, destroyed thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of other lives, given up our civil and political liberties--and now we letting them do it again? How fucking stupid are we?

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

When Congress funded the DOD, there was no line item for big-boy birthday presidential military parades. Where did the money for Trump’s vainglorious spectacle come from? Cutting Army pay and benefits? Reducing training? Or just Departmental slush funds from bloated annual budgets?

We learned this morning of the assassination of the Democratic leader of the Minnesota House, Melissa Hortman, and her husband, Mark, and the shooting of Senator John Hoffmann and his wife. Nevertheless, Minnesotans turned out,—somberly—in the tens of thousands to defend our democracy.

The Netanyahu and Trump playbooks are stunningly alike. Faced with serious challenges at home—for Netanyahu, the possible defection of his ultra-Orthodox partners; for Trump, the breakup of the Musk bromance—both foment armed conflict, damn the consequences for their countries. A pox on them both.

Big thanks to Indivisible, 50501, SEIU and All Labor. Righteous clergy who are standing up to the Trump repression. We must broaden and expand the struggle to restore democracy. Please continue to recruit and invite people to join the movement. We will overcome the wannabe dictator.

How do we restore democratic rule, given the regime’s violent authoritarianism? Peaceful Mass action - even in the face of violent repression. Main things: expand the movement, keep protesting, be creative, minimize internal squabble. Don’t quit.
