MAGA has & will continue to give birth to political domestic terrorists. 47 & this administration can deny it all they want , but their constant rhetoric has fueled radicalization of people like Vance Boelter. The blood of these Democrats lays on Donald Trump hands.

The maga terrorist fired at least 17 rounds hitting the state senator 9 times and his wife eight. Hate never advances a society; hate dismantles progress. It is time to take the reins with a reformed Democratic Party. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Valuable advice. Is it really necessary for Democrats to “rebrand” to make our message more palatable to Trump voters including young men, the voting bloc du jour? @blue-resistance is direct and blunt and speaks of convictions we once held to be true without question. Thank you @blue-resistance!

Rep Melissa Hortman & her husband Mark volunteered with Helping Paws Assistance Dogs training service dogs for ppl in need, like Veterans. Their dog Gilbert was also killed in the assassination. “Both sides” are NOT the same. Trump & Republicans spewing their hate as sure as pulled that trigger.

Senator Mike Lee, rabid MAGA Republican from Utah, exposes himself as the worst human ever to be elected to the Senate by posting this about the MAGA political murders in MN: “This is what happens. When Marxists don’t get their way,” Lee said on X. He also posted a photo of the suspect.”

Sr. Simone Campbell, Board Member of the National Catholic Reporter was on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show just now speaking out against the Trumpist Big Billionaire’s Bill. Her remarks were compassionate. She appealed to us to think of ourselves as a single community interested in each other’s welfare.

I don't really care if Elon Musk called Trump's awful bill a "disgusting abomination" (which it is) I DO care that he and Trump destroyed USAID Allegedly causing the deaths of 300,000 people-with 200,000 children among them And then CELEBRATED it

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

The subhuman Steven Miller boasts that the Trump admin's goal is 3000 immigrant arrests per day and he is literally deadly serious. Reaching the quota one recent day meant deporting a 4 y.o girl with a bowel disease on life-saving treatment here but may not be available elsewhere. This is barbaric.

"Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt repeated her claim that Trump’s bill does not increase the deficit, disputing analysis by the Congressional Budget Office, Penn-Wharton Budget Model, Moody’s and others." Wiseass Leavitt's fabrication also disputes math but, in MAGA's fantasy world, anything goes.

On MSNBC: Trump’s pardon attorney: “No MAGA left behind.” This administration is intentionally pardoning its own partisans. This goes against every normal practice in issuing pardons. Trump is openly corrupt but suffering no consequences for it. How is this possible in our country??

Quote from HCR Newsletter 5-22-25. MAGA Sec. of State Marco Rubio, once thought sane as recently as his confirmation hearing, went full-MAGA-lying mode lately, declaring in his tough MAGA voice that Abrego-Garcia is a Trafficker and MS-13 gang member without mentioning there's no evidence of that.

On May 9th, the Friday before the opening of the walleye fishing season, we joined other Indivisible groups in cities on I-35 in Minnesota to demonstrate on multiple bridges spanning I-35 from Forest Lake, MN to Duluth, MN, a distance of 126 mi. We all were demonstrating against the Trump admin.

Maybe because Republicans don't want us to know what they are doing. There can't be a middle of the day "breaking news" story if they're abusing us during the night. I think many of us miss that news completely.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.
