Trump is in a foreign country today trashing American Democrats, trashing American cities, and advocating for Putin. In other words, nothing has changed from his previous trips.

League City, Texas is deep red. It's also home to many people that work at NASA. Turns out they don't like the 25% funding cuts to NASA. I guess they should have read Project 2025 before they voted.

“Trump is…incapable of grasping how despised he is…and sadists like Noem and Miller are determined to prove the harsher the cruelty and criminality, the greater the success. But Saturday’s protests boosted my belief this false proposition will not last.” www.americaamerica.news/p/the-energy...

At a time when we desperately need to bring down the temperature, the president of the United States is deliberately turning up the heat. His thirst for chaos and division is dangerous and deeply un-American.

I'm SO Proud Of Us! 💙

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

Bravo this sign.

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

I stand with Melissa🤚🏻 If you stand with Melissa Hortman, raise your hand. Your solidarity means a lot to Melissa's family. Please.

Political violence isn’t a punchline. It isn’t an opportunity to mock a grieving community. Families’ lives have been shattered. Sen. Lee’s comments are disgusting. www.newsweek.com/mike-lee-ass...

you can tell the locals are mad at the coverage and things being projected onto them. also advisory boards are usually just rubber stamp confirmations because they’ll take volunteers where they get them, not a sign of anything www.startribune.com/fact-check-d...

"Bluesky is dead." Meanwhile, on Bluesky...

ICE throws gas at protesters who immediately cone it then use boards to help fan the gas back at ICE.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

DA confirms they will go to the grand jury to seek first degree murder charges after they have time to review evidence. Under Minn. Law, 2nd degree was the highest charge they could bring by complaint (w/o GJ) & they needed charges to get the arrest warrant they used Sunday night.

"The episodic violence serve as totems of their tribalism. Over time, it takes ever greater shows of violence to feed the hunger for it. The next performative violence must out-do what came before. It’s not clear where it ends. But it’s not nearly over yet."

Seeing lots of people expressing concern over the second-degree murder charge in Minnesota. This is the highest available charge- the Minnesota statute is unusual and there is nothing odd at play here.

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

GOV. WALZ: “This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way we deal with our political differences.”

The Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum, remained shuttered Monday — not by war, not by terror, but by its own exhausted staff, who say the institution is crumbling from within.

#RFKJr’s incorrect & inaccurate work at HHS is unacceptable. He must be fired. -A US citizen & GWU grad apple.news/AznDOXX-4Qqa...

Every House & Senate member should have USCP protection— even if it’s only one USCP member. As tribalism, dehumanization and disinformation escalates, it’s time to accept the reality that fantasy and ignorance is a violence multiplier. The added benefit— USCP can stop ICE from assaulting members.

A proper headline. Take note, @washingtonpost.com

The man suspected of shooting two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses in their homes in what officials describe as politically motivated attacks was arrested and charged Sunday evening after a sprawling manhunt involving more than 100 officers. wapo.st/3FFrkBL

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

We got him. Providing an update on the manhunt momentarily. m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT-...

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Quick, if not sooner.

Houston NO KINGS

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

Hanging out in a hospital ER with a family member. So many people are wearing masks. 🙌 (This feels like a good day to acknowledge random acts of caring. Because caring for one another is a powerful way to push back against fascism and attempts to divide us.) 💗

ABC HEADLINE: “Massive” Parade NBC VIDEO: actually nah Guess firing terry moran for him wasn’t enough, abc ? 🤔

To Those in Power, We see you. We see how you treat the people you swore to serve. Power is temporary. One day, you'll be out. You will be remembered, not as you claim to be, but as you truly are. You may control the narrative now, but the truth always survives you. Sincerely, History.
