“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Political violence must always be condemned.

THIS x 1,000,000. Honestly I don’t know who this person is (this clip popped up on social media) but I would vote for them tomorrow.

Minnesota noice

😂🤣😂🤣 Oops. I think they forgot—that kind of thing happens at their age…

#MAGAMorons can’t read.

Remember — *don’t* watch it!

The part of me that still has some hope for this country believes people, seeing the video of Senator Padilla being assaulted, plus brown communities being terrorized in LA, will be too much for the majority. But, then again, this is America, so...

In case you missed it, they appear to still need more seat fillers in DC.

As if there wasn’t enough BS in everything they keep trying to move forward … $300M for Donny’s redecorating (& available until 9/30/2029??)? Does widdle Donny need a new golden changing tabewl?

I’ve had to read that a dozen times… I even went looking for (and found, multiple) other sources confirming it.

“And one of the things that you see that sometimes humiliates authoritarians is when they say, I must, there are terrible things happening and people say, I was at work today. Everything seems fine to me. […] He's going to look for opportunities, …” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

It seems to me that each branch of government should have its own enforcement office. E.g., something like the US Marshals, maybe, should fall under each.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

I have been thinking this all day without being able to put my finger on exactly what was wrong—it’s terrifying if the spineless Representatives and Senators have already normalized the silence.

Damn right!! 👊

This is the “FO” part we have not been looking forward to …

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

More small victories …

Well, that’s an interesting ad… washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

Remember *THIS*

Minnesota was just ranked the 5th best state for child wellbeing — here’s why: ✅ Free school meals ✅ Nation-leading Child Tax Credit ✅ Paid family and medical leave

Well, at least there’s that… (small victories, right?)
