Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

Can report a strong turnout at our local No Kings rally. Lots of American flag waving and supportive horn honking. Many homemade signs, some indignant, some witty. One that seemed particularly McLean appropriate: “If only Kamala had won, we’d all be at brunch.”

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

The Trump administration — and the red-state governors clinging to its coattails — aren’t just nervous. They’re terrified. Terrified of the one force they can’t control: the people. They’ve watched, helpless, as more Americans grow tired of the gaslighting, the lies, and the open flirtation...1/4

Lawmakers in Congress should not be buying, trading, and owning individual stocks. Period. It’s long past time to BAN Congressional stock trading.

The lack of total outrage at the indictment of Congresswoman McIvey is truly frightening. Hakeem Jeffries ought to be causing high holy hell over this. She is indicted because she is Black. Half of the GOP caucus engaged in sedition and Garland felt arresting a member of congress went too far.

It’s disgusting that the Pentagon went from being run by a highly decorated 4-star General to a trashy tacky rapist drunkard buffoon from Fox Propaganda. That goes for everything Dept in the US Govt now. American democracy is in mortal danger and it’ll take decades to repair the damage.

Indeed, this is not the first time ugliness and hatred have raised their vile heads in America. What is also true is that generations of Americans have risen to the occasion and spoken against injustices. Now, it's time to do it again for our nation and all its inhabitants. #OnYourSide #NoKings

This country is unrecognizable and run by corrupt, incompetent, racist bootlicking Republicans. The president is both unhinged and unfit to lead. If we don’t stop this authoritarian regime, America is doomed. Don’t let them win ~ speak out against this tyrannical insanity. NO KINGS in AMERICA‼️

I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.
