Yes, I agree — it would be terrible. Please do NOT share this information!!!

I always joke that my favorite breed is “been through some shit” and Edmund has the classic BTTS boy look. 🥰

Vets, Poets, and Punk Rockers walked into the MN State Capitol.... to fight the fascists! See you at NO Kings Twin Cities tomorrow: #nokings indivisibletwincities.org/no-kings-ral...

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

TONIGHT: at 7 PM ET: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS training for the upcoming NO KINGS events this Saturday: act.aclu.org/a/2025-kyr-t...

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

A special poem for #TACOTrump: 🌮

‼️‼️

If they want people who need assistance to have a work requirement, shouldn’t those at the top who get a tax break have a community service requirement?

I’m only surprised it took this long under this administration!

Tim Walz has some pointed rebuttals to RFK Jr’s beliefs about autism in this @ericmgarcia.bsky.social interview

Listen to how Governor Walz stands up for young people 👏

URGENT CALL TO ACTION: TODAY, MAY 12 Contact your MN House Rep. Tell them to OPPOSE funding cuts to Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare. MN may be a state where abortion is a right by law, but w/out funding, the services will not be available. Pls share: secure.everyaction.com/r_8GoVW0EkCr...

DOGE was never about "efficiency."

The Economy Only Works For One Group Of Individuals And Not The Rest Of Us….

This is unusual trading by a politician. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought Palantir, $PLTR, on April 8th. On April 17th, Palantir, $PLTR, was awarded a government contract with ICE to develop ImmigrationOs. She sits on the Committee of Homeland Security Palantir is up nearly 50% since.

“For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own- for the children and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to The Twilight Zone.” - Rod Serling

The proposed Trump budget is brutal, unless you’re the military or Homeland Security. Here’s what gets cut: - State Department: -84% - National Science Foundation: -56% - EPA: -54% - HUD (housing): -44% - Labor: -35% - Interior: -30% - Health & Human Services: -26% - NASA: -24% - Education: -15%

Remember, those who claim to be enraged that an almost imperceptible amount of federal dollars goes to NPR and PBS are currently before the Supreme Court demanding that your taxpayer money be spent to fund a Christian school in Oklahoma that definitionally trafficks in propaganda

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

We had a conversation with Sec of State Steve Simon about HR 22 - The SAVE Act. This voter suppression bill passed the House and is now in the Senate. This is a disastrous bill for Minnesotans (and all voters). Call our Senators and urge them to vote NO. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYbz...

Friends, about a decade ago I had the honor of hosting the National Contest for National History Day, a wonderful organization that encourages and supports kids all over the country as they study history, creating independent projects, and competing to reach the annual finals, held in June and UMD.

Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Donald Trump has got to go! Minnesotans protest the Trump abductions and illegal power grab outside the El Salvador Consulate in St Paul. @womensmarchmn.bsky.social @mn50501.bsky.social @indivisible.org @maddow.msnbc.com @indivistwincities.bsky.social

Have a kitty. This is Boris. He’s available for adoption in Minnesota through Carver Scott Humane Society. You can learn more about him here: www.carverscotths.org/cats#sl_embe...

Baby chicks were never an appropriate Easter gift for children, but especially not now with the spread of Bird Flu. 🐣 Get a toy chick and sponsor a rescue bird instead! www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-birds

If you know anyone planning to get their child live rabbits for Easter, please talk them out of it. Tell them to get a stuffed toy and sponsor a rescue bunny instead! 🐇 www.merrymacfarmsanctuary.org/meet-the-bun...

There it is…

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks. The website to check linked in the reply. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

"There's a room here in the Senate named after Strom Thurmond... I'm here despite his speech, I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful." -Cory Booker as he eclipses Thurmond's record for the longest filibuster in US history.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Choose unrelenting hope. Revolutionary change, even in the face of unrelenting oppression, is not only possible, it is inevitable. Recognize the potential for progress through collective action, resilience and the belief in humanity's capacity to create a better future.

Sometimes you just have to ask—why? The Senate voted to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure introduced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that was expected to save Americans billions each year.

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

This is a helpful tool to explain to those who think that the wealthy pay their fair share.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Some breaking news in my latest. Others pointed out that Witkoff appeared to be in Moscow when he joined the Houthi PC Group chat. Sky News has a detailed story on his timeline in Moscow. I ran that against the timeline from the Atlantic article. Witkoff was waiting for Putin when he was added.(1/2)

Our new sheep are matted, dirty, and severely underweight yet somehow so trusting and curious. 🥹 We can’t wait to give them the life they deserve. We’re almost halfway to our goal for their vetting and care! donorbox.org/mmfs-party-o...

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

Per @johnleguizamo.bsky.social: “Medicaid is called by different names in different states! Stay awake America you lose everything you rely on!”

Might save a life.

From Mary Trump I agree. We need messaging and organizing. What we're doing isn't working for anyone.
