Good evening

Yup. Been there.

Good morning (Paradise Harbor, Antarctic Peninsula)

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

LAPD shoves an unhoused woman to the ground so hard her skull cracks open and she’s knocked unconscious. They then carry her to the curb, prop her up and abandon her. Witnesses took her to the ER.

NEW: The American Bar Association is suing Trump over his attacks on law firms. Here's a gift link for more info: wapo.st/4le2DLL

Trump says mass deportations are urgent—but not if they mess with his donors’ pockets. ICE was told to back off farms & hotels 'cause it was bad for business. But LA and Chicago? Open season. Please be for real—this is the weaponization of government against cities that refuse to bow down to him.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

I agree, but probably not for the same reasons

FIFA Club World Cup ticket sales tank dramatically after the Dept. of Homeland Security bragged that agents would be “suited and booted" at the stadium in a now-deleted social media post

[email protected] on Mike Lee: "Either he's so mentally ill and deranged that he's convinced himself that this person is a Marxist, and that Tim Walz is responsible....Or he knows it's a lie....either one of those options makes him totally unacceptable as a person in public trust."

I sure hope MN officials are involved in Boelter's interrogation, b/c I'm pretty sure FBI HQ isn't interested in how he was radicalized, and the country needs to know, to be prepared for more.

Focus? Ha!

FOX: The Committee for a Responsible Budget came out today and said it will add $15 trillion to the debt THUNE: This will reduce the deficit, not increase it

When does the “great” part start?

Tucker Carlson says Fox is a propaganda network that manipulates their mostly elderly audience.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

#nokings Whats next?meeting now on YouTube

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Good evening

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

Delightful

Good morning

We need to ensure that the incredible organizing and inspiring courage of yesterday’s #NoKings protests continue to spread. On tomorrow’s mass call, we’ll discuss how we do that with concrete action steps to overcome authoritarianism. Please join us: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

Whoa. Low even for MAGA. Wrong in so many ways.

That's great! What we need more of.

It most certainly is!

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

Good morning (New Zealand)

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

Best image of the day:

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

Literally the Russian flag in the post. Two of them

Good #caturday evening

KARE 11 TV in the Twin Cities reports that Vance Boelter's best friend says Boelter voted for Trump and is "a strong supporter"

🔥🔥🔥

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.
