Ha ha I just picked up a copy of a book by a MAJOR PUBLISHER that has misspelled the PUBLISHER'S NAME on the title page, I am laughing so hard! 😆😂

Certainly close enough to the real truth!

"When it’s hard to tell who a masked individual is working for, it’s hard to accept that that is a legitimate use of authority." #PrayForAmerica www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

“The soft power suicide of the U.S. will be incomprehensible to future historians who will be dumbfounded in their attempts to explain why the global leader voluntarily wrecked one of its greatest national assets...” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/b...

In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular. We need to make sure more people learn about them.

He can still be arrested

My thoughts (still!) on why it's supposed to be Congress and not a president who makes these decisions... www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/105954...

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

NEW: The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that a 2021 censorship law can't be used to ban teaching about race and gender in Oklahoma's higher education institutions. This is a win for academic freedom and the First Amendment.

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

Given that the footage is all over the internet, "assault" is an outright lie of astounding proportions.

That policeman needs to be fired immediately

I don't know what it's going to take to stop this kind of thing from happening, but I am 100% sure that the answer isn't "Andrew Cuomo."

The most dangerous man in government right now isn't Trump? www.alternet.org/alternet-exc...

Dear parents: You see all this stupidity going around? Please read to your kids. Let them see you reading. Keep books around. Buy them books if you can. Show them how cool the library is. Tell them book banning is bad. Make reading part of their lives. It helps make good people.

Trump’s still clearly cranky about how poorly his birthday parade went, the wave of retaliation since says it all.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I told you we were not alone

Here’s a song for today! “NO KINGS” #nokingsprotest

WHAT FOX WILL NEVER SHOW YOU!! The news won't show you this because they have a narrative to spin.

A woman is hospitalized and receives staples in her head after LAPD trampled her with their horses. LAPD also impeded her receiving medical attention.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

America bestowed the light of democracy to the world by defeating King George - 250 years later, millions of Americans are okay with a tyrant on a golden throne wearing makeup and a wig crapping out hate tweets at 2AM.

In re: LRT, Minnesota is the opposite of a news desert - the Twin Cities has dozens of responsible news outlets staffed by incredibly professional journalists. They do not need your breathless, speculative assistance in covering this story. Post *local* coverage as it emerges, and ignore the noise.

"Interest has dramatically picked up in recent days. Sign-ups surpassed 5,000 — the capacity for the plaza where the rally is scheduled — and organizers are working with law enforcement to potentially close roads to ensure the safety of a larger crowd..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

“The Trump Organization has consistently made use of temporary visa programs to hire foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago, four golf clubs and his Virginia winery—filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008.” www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

I personally think he's been living on borrowed funds for years
