Brilliant...

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

When Trump said he wanted El Salvador to build five more super prisons it’s for exactly this reason. The far right and the fascists have spent a decade using the amorphous signifier of antifa to label anyone that opposes them as a terrorist and now that will be used to disappear anyone they please.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Wow! HHS is hitting new levels of recklessness and incompetence… U.S. citizens are being threatened with deportation by Homeland Security. Nicole Micheroni isn’t just a citizen—she’s an immigration attorney. And she got a notice to leave the country within 7 days.

It gets worse Every moment of Every DAY

How? Like this.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

🎯

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

JD Vance just broke apart the College Football Playoff National Championship trophy on live television.

Minnesota is a top state for health care, thanks in part to Mayo Clinic.   Now they’re building a $5 billion expansion in Rochester where the lifesaving health care innovations of the future are going to happen.   Inspiring to see the progress today.

Scary, scary stuff.

Trump is going to “instinctively” select certain US companies and exempt them from tariffs. Don’t overthink it. He’s asking for bribes.

MAGA morons.

I bounce between hope and despair like a pinball these days.

Hey everyone Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Waltz, Marco Rubio and JD Vance endangered our service members by discussing war plans on an illegal Signal chat that was so insecure that a reporter from the Atlantic read the whole thing as it happened. They all need to resign. #SignalGate

Now this is what I’m talking about! I’ve been pushing for this for months and applaud the DNC for creating the People’s Cabinet to hold Trump accountable and show the American people what Democrats are fighting for. democrats.org/news/dnc-cha...

Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton: “What Trump is doing is a huge opportunity for China worldwide. These tariffs are a form of economic illiteracy. Trump has no idea really what he’s talking about. He doesn’t understand how tariffs work”

Seriously

Educators from across Minnesota packed a legislative commission meeting, calling on the state to allow teachers to retire earlier and collect pensions sooner with fewer penalties.

Yesterday, while driving home from the dispensary, I stopped at a roadside stand selling fresh eggs and picked up a dozen. So now, I’m buying eggs on the street and weed in a store! WTF is happening???

Trump is at war with universities. Because well-educated people don’t vote for him.

Great local coverage from WFMJ on Tim Walz's huge event in Republican Congressman Mike Rulli's district in Youngstown Ohio last night: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH6a...

Thank you for calling out their cosplay. Everything they do is for show!

I can't believe I spent 4 years hearing from MAGA that Biden was destroying the economy even though it was in good shape, and now they're telling me that a bad economy is great because Trump is destroying it. It's a cult man. There's no saving these people

"There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." - Carl Sagan

When we are talking about places like Zanesville, this is getting real. Thanks to Gov Walz and all those willing to talk.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...
