I'm in ! Tell me how.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

We need to save some smoke for voters. Trump was very clear during the campaign that he planned to settle Russia's war on Ukraine quickly and on Putin's terms. 77 million people voted for him anyway, and now he's following through. American voters sold out our ally.

Dark Pence is back.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

A near-miss in DC just 24 hours before deadly American Airlines crash: Republic Airways Flight 4514 was forced to back out of touching down and had to make a second approach after a helicopter appeared near its flight path.

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

Ok that made me laugh

Friendly reminder: there’s plenty of time left to claim up to $1,750 per child with our nation-leading Child Tax Credit.   Last year, we put over $550 million into the pockets of nearly 225,000 families.   Don’t leave money on the table, Minnesota.

Donald Trump is lawless

“Yet so far what these two billionaires have achieved is to crush the world’s poorest children in a cauldron of confusion and cruelty.” Arrogant bastards. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/o...

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

For those of you desperately in need of distraction from today's headlines, here's a photo of a bunny & a chick who are friends.

BREAKING: Steve Bannon pleads guilty in border wall fraud case, avoids prison time www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Minnesotans have no tolerance for fraud. That's why we created a state law enforcement unit to investigate and hold people accountable for these crimes, and why I'm calling on the legislature to pass our comprehensive anti-fraud package.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com: Musk and Trump are lying about USAID because they can't find anything wrong with it.

Yes he is.

LOL the Foxnews commercials say “For All America” Hahahahhaha

The difference between peaceful protests and a insurrection.

FACT: USAID funded projects in 120 countries - fighting epidemics, educating children, providing clean water, supporting life saving work. Now nurses laid off, clinics closed in 25 countries where 2/3 of all child deaths occur. All because of Trump’s inflated ego.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

In honor of black inventors. #BlackHistoryMonth

Little helper.. 😊
