About 1,000 people showed up last night to the AG forum in N. St. Paul. The stories filled me with rage; the determination of ordinary people filled me with hope. The message: SHOW UP for each other. Be loud. Be persistent. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

MN friends, please call & write your MN legislators. MN Repubs have introduced a bill to add "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to a list of mental illnesses to pathologize people who speak out against Trump. CALL THEM OUT. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.p...

Democrats brought the US economy back from a Republican-led disaster & handed a strong economy to the GOP—who are, as always, destroying it. These assessments come from the famously conservative WSJ & Economist. Republicans are ruining everything for regular people so they can enrich billionaires.

Trump is erasing from military databases 1000s of images of women, LGBTQ+ folks, & people of color who served b/c these images hurt his white manbaby feelings. In protest, here's my Auntie Oliva, who served in the South Pacific in WWII, & my book The Tuskegee Airmen. apnews.com/article/dei-...

Our elected officials work for US. They have a duty to listen to us and answer our questions and serve our interests, NOT THEIRS.

The GOP tax plan robs middle- and low-income Americans to enrich the wealthy. Please call your congress-critters and urge them to vote no on any such nonsense. www.cbpp.org/research/fed...

This is an official White House Instagram post. Cruelty, greed, and ignorance are at the rotten, evil heart of every person in this administration. What’s next? “I love the smell of crematoriums in the morning?” www.instagram.com/reel/DGOclSl...

While Trump erases women leaders from federal websites, I suggest resisting this dick(tator) move by reading all you can about them. For starters, I recommend Kristin Hannah’s novel The Women, based on the experiences of 10,000 women who served in Vietnam as nurses, doctors, intelligence, etc.

This is ethnic cleansing, full stop. It’s pure evil, as is anyone who supports this idea. Also: Gaza is a hellhole because ISRAEL MADE IT A HELLHOLE. www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/02/...

Nobody elected that techno billionaire. He’s grabbing our money and destroying our democracy to enrich himself. That felonious F*er belongs in prison, not the Treasury building. www.youtube.com/live/sZXyEUF...

In 1943, Bulgaria’s Jews were in corrals, soon to board trains to Treblinka. Suddenly the govt called off the deportation. Why? B/c citizens protested & didn’t let up for years. Bulgaria’s Jews lived. When our neighbors are rounded up for deportation, may we have the moral guts of the Bulgarians.

49.92% of folks who voted on 11/5 are ending the USA’s long run of democracy. They likely didn’t mean to—just didn’t care enough to learn about the GOP’s plans. They’ll suffer with the rest of us. And once they wake up, I hope they’ll fight with the rest of us too. open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...

Trump does NOT have a mandate. He doesn't even have 50% of the popular vote. Push back on this false narrative—don't hand over unearned power to a fascist. As votes continue to be counted, the current tally is Trump 49.96%, Harris 48.24%, Other 1.80%. www.cookpolitical.com/vote-tracker...
