thread on what law enforcement officials had to say about the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman and the attempted assassination of Sen. John Hoffman

submitted 8 hours ago • 257 comments

It's hard to understate how important Representative & former Speaker Hortman was to Minnesota politics - she was probably the most prominent woman politician & integral to the recent budget deal. She was also incredibly kind and a real person - Kiernan sold her girl scout cookies. It's horrifying.

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

This phrasing from the NYT’s live coverage is so fucking bleak: the killer “has been described as heavily armed and armored — and apparently wearing the same gear as those pursuing him.”

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

The Bible verse that Clayton Kershaw wrote on tonight's Pride cap is used by some so-called Christians to "take back God's rainbow" because, well, the homophobes want to be the only ones who can define love apparently.

Peter Norton at #vc25: "Bikelash movements are based on a version of history that is not real. We would believe that cycling has always been a radical or fringe movement, when in fact it was mainstream. Bicycles were popular, and it was the car that was up against a car-lash."

We can't elect a leader and then sit back - especially in a Parliamentary system - and expect our every expectation to be met. You vote for the best option and then, if you want to influence them from there you observe, pressure and lobby them to reach that goal. Elections are only the beginning.

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

I've spent the last few months examining the +1,450 grants terminated at the NIH, including reading hundreds of abstracts. Many were studying how to solve or improve health disparities – not just identify or explain them. Some of the terminated grants (h/t to @scott-delaney.bsky.social + team)

Important further info: the email was sent only to ICE HSI, the arm of ICE more traditionally involved in worksite raids. It applies to any agricultural facility, restaurants, and hotels, and bars arresting workers, really. Other businesses, including factories, are presumably still fair game.

In my opinion, Trump's shift on this issue ("stop raiding farms and hotels") demonstrates the US needs to have an honest conversation about the role of undocumented immigrants in this country. And who constitutes this population. I'm afraid the rhetoric has already poisoned the well.
