No matter who you are or who you love, you are welcome here. Happy Pride Month, Minnesota!

The same people who manipulated themselves into power want to take everything from us. They want to steal our autonomy. Our freedom. Our resources. Our society. Our culture. They would enslave us to the way they think, and enforce the way they think we should live: serving them. I refuse.

Does anyone else hear "serve the rich or die" in this? Most first world societies on the planet value everyone's life without requirement.

She's not just speaking to Gilead. Does this feel like fiction? (Clip from The Handmaid's Tale, Season 6, Episode 9.)

People working for the US gov't today must literally be asking themselves, "Will I give this person up to the Nazis?" (Replace Nazis with MAGA.) Gratitude to every single person who has, and continues to make the moral decision to say, "NO!" Intelligence. Military. Police. Officials. Everyone.

Every act of resistance and word that strengthens our Democracy matters. We can together reverse this plague of unlawful dictatorship. We each may not always know how, but remember: You matter.

I feel like I live in a Land of hate. Yet, I know the People are better (for the most part) than the horrible government that misrepresents us every single day.

Anyone with so much power and money, that they manipulate the public and bend reality to their liking, must be stopped. Our world is in peril at the hands of self-interested people leading us all off a vast cliff. They have no reason to uplift society, help people, or cherish the planet.

Data-driven social manipulation is one of the greatest threats to autonomy and freedom our world has ever seen. Billionaires now think they can shift anything they want. Trump's multiple presidencies are evidence. Those with far too much money and far too little empathy have mapped social control.

Never again hearing the name "Donald Trump" would ease immense pain for so many of us. Unfortunately it's a luxury we don't have. Why is mental health a luxury!?

In the latest installment of the Trump Administration's war on Minnesota: Elon Musk is now suing Minnesota over a law that bans AI deepfakes misrepresenting reality from manipulating people in elections. ...Because Musk has "never" been known to nefariously manipulate elections. Hmm....

Oh, no β€” it's definitely not an authoritarian move... Trump is just attacking and trying to defund his opposition party. Totally normal! Whatever you do, don't ask him or Elon how he won the election, at the very end. ($280+ million in malicious propaganda, and bribing voters? Never heard of it.)

I'm deeply proud to be a Minnesotan, too. From Governor Walz supporting poor families with free school lunches, to making our state hospitable to Trans folks, I know we're with real people. He speaks truth to Fascists, while our AG, Keith Ellison, leads nationwide lawsuits against horrible acts.

Trump is now destroying economic potential by garnishing wages of students defaulting on student loans. Big problem: Conservatives dismantled Biden-era income-based repayment terms which had limited repayment to a percentage of income. Now, borrowers on SAVE plans face gigantic unpayable bills.

Feel the relief? At least some good is coming out of the US government. The Supreme Court stopped kidnappings to the horrid El Salvador terrorist prison... for now. Though the Court is being overly careful under the circumstances, and we could really use strength from them, I'll celebrate this.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
