This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was the political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope. She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive. But the FDA recently denied its approval. Now, her health hangs in the balance. Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

This is not even that difficult of a decision. You know as well as I, there is no metric where Jacob Frey measures up to leader, let alone exceptional. We deserve good things. Don’t sell yourself short accepting anything less.

This is another one of those things that illuminates just how in the fucking tank so much of the mainstream media is, how jingoistic and servile. Slobbering over any president like this would be a bad idea, but to do it for Trump is malfeasance on a civilizational level.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

I still remember how long the USA argued over whether or not there were 'weapons of mass destruction' in Iraq. Colin Powell did a whole thing at the UN. Now it's just 'Trump said they have them.'

I posted this message at 7am on Saturday, as soon as I had woken up & news had broken. As a NE Minneapolis resident, clearer emergency/safety instructions should have been provided. And the shelter-in-place message should have extended to North Minneapolis.

Every single person in Minneapolis should be demanding answers about this

The fact that Northsiders were not told to shelter in place, nor were we told when the search was called off, is just endemic of how shabbily North is always treated. The idea that we don't need to know about our safety in the same way people in the suburbs do is equal parts absurd and repugnant.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

See this for what it is. An authoritarian regime and its secret police are targeting political enemies and marginalized people they have vilified and dehumanized. We're in it, folks. Deep, deep in it. Fascism. Stop dancing around it. Stop playing games. Give up all remaining denial. We're in it.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
