A foreign government, Qatar, might give Trump a $400 million personal gift, a plane described as a “palace in the sky”. Not a bad haul at a time when Trump is asking American children to do with fewer dolls and pencils. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

World Liberty Financial, crypto venture linked to Trump, has a significant connection with UAE. Abu Dhabi-backed firm, MGX is using WLF’s stablecoin, USD1, for a $2B investment in crypto exchange Binance. Now, Qatar wants to give Trump a plane worth $400m, described as a “flying palace”. Corrupt.

The Afghans at risk of deportation to the Taliban when TPS is withdrawn include allies of the U.S. military, religious and ethnic minorities, and women and girls who are likely to face persecution and oppression by the Taliban. Trump is nothing if not cruel.

U.S. DHS has ended TPS for Afghans, as of May 20, 2025, meaning 1000s of Afghan nationals in U.S. who were granted TPS will no longer be protected from deportation. Meanwhile Afrikaners who maintained the racist and brutally repressive Apartheid regime are being resettled in US. Sick. Disgusting.

The Emoluments Clause is Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the US Constitution. It prohibits anyone holding a US office of profit or trust from accepting titles, emoluments, or offices from foreign states without Congressional consent.

Curious to know why Tesla Board chair Robyn Denton is selling substantial shares of her Tesla stock. Anybody know?

Trump has stopped refugee admissions for people fleeing famine and war, but he has fast tracked a path into the country for Afrikaners, who created and led the brutal apartheid regime in South Africa. So, this is what we’re dealing with.

What are you doing June 14? Wanna oppose a dictatorship? #NoKingsJune14.

Targeted laws firms say Trump's quick deal with Paul Weiss proves the orders targeting Big Law were never about national security. Trump's turnabout on the Paul Weiss order is evidence that it was never a national security risk. I guess Trump lied. www.businessinsider.com/trump-big-la...

America has a rapist as president.

Pope Leo XIV took the name of Pope Leo XIII, who lifted up the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and trade unions. He became the "Pope of the Workers"; I’m glad we have another Pope who cares about working people. Perfect rebuttal for Age of the Oligarchs.

Judge orders immediate release of Rumeysa Ozturk, Tufts student detained by ICE U.S. District Judge William Sessions III said her detention, over an op-ed, could chill the speech of “millions and millions” of noncitizens. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Honored to be with the community in Red Wing, MN. Thanks for the invitation. Happy to come back anytime.

Thanks to the Catholic Cardinals who have selected 2 leaders in a row, late Pope Francis & Pope Leo XIV, with a commitment to economic and social justice, respect & dignity for individuals and to all people who suffer and are oppressed. Of course, some aren’t happy, but that’s no surprise.

@letitiajames.bsky.social @keithellison.bsky.social Thank you for all you are doing to preserve our democracy. I would love to see an AG or class action lawsuit that goes after Elon Musk/DOGE for stealing all of our private data from U.S. government databases contrary to law.

Full house in Westchester County NY for a wonderful community impact forum. Speakers shared their experiences re Trump’s assaults on first responders, community health, labor rights & more. The heroic Tish James lead the way. Thanks to AGs Bonta, CA, Raoul, IL, and Platkin, NJ. #NoKingsJune14

Thanks Again Red Wing community! I love working with you to build an even better Minnesota. www.republicaneagle.com/news/governm...

Corruption. Corruption. Corruption. A UAE-backed investment firm is making a $2 billion investment in a crypto business deal for Trump family's crypto. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/trump...

“If you are watching this right now and you’re thinking I don’t want a king in this county, good news: Neither do we. And you can be part of this.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social We’re mobilizing nationwide on June 14 to say No Kings. Find an event near you or start one: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Trump’s remark about not knowing whether he needs to “uphold the Constitution” comes just a little more than 100 days after he swore an oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." www.aol.com/trump-says-d...

Join us! June 14th will not be known as Donald Trump’s birthday. Instead, it will be known as the biggest protest in American history. And if you want to make your mark on that history, start by making a mark on your calendar: June 14th. More info soon.

Do a counter protest in your own area. #NoKingsJune14

American presidents supposed to carry out laws which Congress passes and Courts interpret, each doing the job within their lane. Trump “rules” via executive order aka edict or proclamation - like a king; we can’t allow it. #NoKingsJune14

Military Parades are for intimidating; confident democracies don’t do it. It’s more of a fascist thing. Imagine goose-stepping troops following tanks and missiles to say, “We are strong! We control our country and we can control you!” Join neighbors to say NO on No Kings Day, June 14

We had a fantastic day in Red Wing MN thanks to some amazing organizers and students. We discussed racial diversity and tolerance and Trump’s horrible executive orders. Thanks to American Association of University Women, League of Women Voters, Black Student Union Red Wing.

Democratic AG’s are for the people.

@keithellison.bsky.social Thank you Attorney General Ellison for your visit and talk at Red Wing today! It was inspiring and hopeful and makes me proud to be a Minnesotan!

No Kings Day!!!! June 14th. Protest the tyrant.

The Courts are standing up for the Rule of the Law; Trump’s attacks attacks on the legal system deemed illegal. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/u...

Yes

Please follow the complaint process. www.ag.state.mn.us/office/compl...

Court rules that Trump’s use of Alien Enemies Act for gangs is unlawful; the ruling is from a Trump-appointed judge in Texas. apple.news/AbaUplwz0RZ2...

Trump’s racism isn’t just individualized and personal: its clearly a movement initiative. It has an objective, and it has everything to do with Trump’s idea of Making America Great Again - like in 1920. nymag.com/intelligence...

All of this anti-DEI stuff is really pro-Jim Crow. That’s where it’s headed.

Trump issued another deceitful EO; this time falsely masquerading as a friend to police. Remember, this dude has 34 felonies; waiting sentencing. 140 officers were injured during the January 6, 2021, including several deaths. One lost an eye. He pardoned 1500 criminals who attacked police on J6.

Fascism. Watch him admit it. www.instagram.com/reel/DGRicI1...

I love the bold and brave DFL senior caucus, standing strong for Social security, medicare and Liberty and Justice for All!

Thanks, Trump. Cutting funds for Minnesota small businesses and giving it to AI and his big tech cronies. He’s not helping us. 😡 www.startribune.com/manufacturin...

I was honored to join the MN DFL Senior Caucus at the capitol today. We have so much to learn from these folks who, as @keithellison.bsky.social said, have amazing experiences and have lived through a lot of change. We too can overcome our current 🤡 show, when we stick together. Let’s do it!

So, Trump took a robust economy and pretty much ruined it, which is consistent with his entire business career. He was born rich and thinks his wealth is because of him. So sad.

Actually, George W. Bush is quite right here. www.instagram.com/reel/DIF8Jxa...

The goal isn’t to police all behavior at all times. It’s to make us fearful to the point that we police our own behavior. Check out the story of Dallas lawyer Clay Jackson. slate.com/news-and-pol...
