I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

It is simply a fact that with this many activated people on our side, he cannot take this democracy away from us. We just need to show up again when he tries.

Martin: There is no doubt that that has been fomented by the far right in this country and extremism and violent rhetoric that exists in the far reaches of the internet that we have allowed to seep into into this country.. Well, it's bullshit

Thousands of Minnesotans still showed up at the State Capitol to protest Trump and Far-Right extremism. I saw a few signs honoring Representative Melissa Hortman, who was killed last night. Also lots of signs for impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

People love to make fun of Greta Thunberg and Paul Murphy for being “sanctimonious” or doing “publicity stunts” and it always baffles me because they’re literally acting on their values and beliefs and actually trying to do something as opposed to columnists who do literally fuck all.

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

If there is any reporter looking for a social media based investigation here’s one: go on Facebook, and search for small town protests. You’ll find lots of threats against them- including people urging each other to run over their neighbors.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

A veteran who fought for our freedoms. A mother with two toddlers who wants to see them enjoy those same freedoms. A former Republican county committee member who values country over party. Just three of the thousands of Americans who showed up proudly for the No Kings protests in Troy, Michigan.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Due to a shelter-in-place order and ongoing safety concerns following a shooting that targeted two elected officials, the No Kings protest in Northeast Minneapolis has been canceled. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the communities impacted by this horrifying violence.

Completely heartbroken to learn about these targeted attacks on my friends Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman. Jenn and I are praying hard for both families. And we’re standing with our DFL community—and with all Minnesotans.

Fucking hell: “Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.”

BREAKING: The decision suggested that the scale of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign — an issue that is at the heart of his presidency — is hurting industries and constituencies that he does not want to lose.

Sorry, cancer patients, but we just don't have the money. We had to prioritize spending tens of millions on a military parade so the president could compensate for his many personal inadequacies. I'm sure you understand.

Every excuse for deportation fails for this as for so, so many other cases. One must therefore consider what possible reason for focusing the power of the state against ordinary people like this serves. The only explanation left is ethnic cleansing

I have a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom but he is calling out Trump in a way other major leaders aren’t and if he causes Trump to have a stroke I will buy him a latte
