1/2 Today in Minneapolis, ICE/FBI raided a taco restaurant, yes, you read that correctly, a taco restaurant, dressed in full battle gear—long guns, body armor, the whole damn militarized show. Do they think they’re in a war zone? This is about instilling terror, rooted in racism. It won’t work.

WOW. 🥲♥️ THIS is the message we need to send....These masked thugs who are rounding up mothers, zip typing the hands of children, and grabbing law-abiding immigrants outside courthouses are shameful fucking cowards! #SHAME

Remember all those law firms that struck a deal with Trump? It’s not totally working out for them. At least 11 large companies—including Morgan Stanley, Microsoft, and Oracle—are cutting ties with law firms that caved to President Trump’s threats of political retribution. https://trib.al/WeNhjT5

I mean, how else can they set this guy up to run for Senate and then run the entire NRSC?

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

He can’t sell himself as a defender of taxpayers when he is squatting at Stornaway, his by-election to get back into the HOC will cost almost $2 million and he also expensed $8 million last year, more than any other MP. Time to rid Canada of the riff raff, write your MP. #NeverpoiLIEvre

During this Pride Month, I am celebrating and reflecting on the courage and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community. Much has been accomplished, and much is in peril - we must stand together to continue to fight for civil rights and against discrimination across America.

Palantir employees have started expressing their concerns to the New York Times regarding the company's data theft through DOGE and its surveillance implications. One of their strategists quit last week. It's time to leak everything. h/t @declassifyuap.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

I’m starting my annual walk across Connecticut today! Beginning in the very northwest corner of the state - Salisbury. I will talk to hundreds of people over the next few days about what they want (and don’t want!) from their elected leaders. My favorite week of the year!

I can’t stop laughing about the fact that the Pope is now holding a huge event in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s small-in-the-pants birthday parade.

The Kennedy family were bang on when they denounced RFK Jr. as a "predator." He is looking to shut down independent medical research. He may be the most dangerous of the MAGA mob. And the impacts on children and health will be felt all over the world. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
