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

71 year old congresswoman Debbie Dingell caught sleeping in hearing room this morning.

In case you needed another reason to eat ice cream.

This graph is devastating... too many of our kids are going hungry, and yet they're still plowing forward with the largest cuts to SNAP in American history. They're taking the $6/day that people get in food assistance so they can give it to the wealthiest corporations on the planet.

"My colleagues, many of whom are, like me, foreign scientists, are terrified of being detained or having their visa status revoked." Read UAW member Kseniia Petrova's @nytimes.com op-ed, written from immigration detention in Louisiana. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/o...

Hasan Piker was interrogated at the Chicago airport on Sunday. I think I know what happened: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-begin...

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

BREAKING: Rümeysa, our union sister who was snatched by ICE, is free today. We stood up for our union family and demanded justice! When you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. #4the1st ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

40 Years ago Carl Sagan knew about Climate change and he was so aware of it's impact on Nature more than us we do right now.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

Good Night World

When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me — it still sometimes happens — and ask me if Carl changed at the end and converted to a belief in an afterlife. ~ Ann Druyan

Me too.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.

Hypocrisy at its worst.

Governor Tim Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov "If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege."

Carl Sagan explains how the ancient Greeks knew the Earth was round and calculated its circumference over 2,000 years ago.

It's now been over a month since Trump sent innocent man Andry Hernández to one of the world's worst prisons because of "Mom" and "Dad" tattoos. Like the others, he is being imprisoned with no contact with the outside world. Don't let him be forgotten.

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.

This isn’t complicated: less food safety means more people getting sick—and more people dying. E. coli doesn’t care about budget cuts. I’ll fight these dangerous rollbacks every step of the way. www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

If you're being kidnapped, you have a right to defend yourself. If someone approaches you and tries to throw you in a van and they present no ID and no warrant, you're being abducted. In many states, you can respond with lethal force. Understand the law.

Over 20 million workers stand to benefit from a proposed $17 federal minimum wage. After years of stagnant pay and rising costs, this isn’t generosity — it’s long overdue. Lawmakers must decide: will they protect poverty wages or finally act in service of working people? seiu.co/44ypwEi

So, if I understand correctly, the President of the United States is saying that the Supreme Court of the United States consists of nine “sick people,” including three whom he appointed. apple.news/AMHDqIFcpRxi...
