Hey, look who did an interview! (afterwards, I made the young redhead reporter put on some sunscreen)

If the media treated Republicans like they love to treat the Dems, they would be asking them why they aren't marching and protesting against political violence.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Today’s rally, Saint Paul No Kings, is dedicated to our Senator Hoffman and our lost Speaker Emerita Hortman. Fascists want you afraid. They want you to stay home. But Minnesota will keep showing up until America no longer has a king.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

Putin wants to weaken, divide, and possibly break up the United States. He spoke on the phone with TACO for 75 minutes last week. Folks, TACO is implementing a Russian op. It's well-planned and being fairly well executed. We need to recognize it for what it is. We are being attacked.

Apropos of nothing, one of the main reasons King Louis XVI was beheaded during the French Revolution was for the crime of conspiring with foreign enemies against the nation. In other words, treason.

Been listening @stephenking.bsky.social & considering a few gruesome murders in my...wait. It's YA. Anyway, a language question 4 him or Main folk: He often uses "Gives on." As in "The room gives on a sunlit terrace." I have a strong idea where this comes from but would like 2 hear your thoughts.

So, @therickwilson.bsky.social reports that one of his insiders tells him what the White House is really terrified about is Musk revealing what his PAC did during the election. Did he use StarLink or hackers to steal the election? Twitter? Any journalists want to get on that?

Republicans have had antisemites, Holocaust-deniers, and white supremacists in their ranks for decades. They have been wink-winking, nudge-nudging (Soros! Globalists!) against Jews for decades. Dismissing anti-Jewish behavior for decades. If Dems & the media can't show this, what are we doing here?

🔥MUST-WATCH: @profgalloway.com takes Elon apart “Somehow in 🇺🇸 we decided💰excuses depravity… his behavior his abhorrent. He’s not a role model. His legacy won’t be an EV or rockets— it’ll be unnecessary death, disease, disability of 🌎’s most vulnerable.” piers: “Wow.”

I'll tell you this: I hate these corrupt, fascist, theocrats w the heat of a thousand suns, but the Democrats who are sitting around, who aren't in the streets or the rooftops screaming their lungs out, resisting w everything they've got & the media that normalizes all of it? I hate them more.

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Elon Musk had a make larger goal with #DOGE, and it went way beyond government efficiency to data mining + backdoor access to data within our Treasury payments system and essentially the entire traditional finance/Western banking system which he seeks to destroy. Think about it. The damage is done.

8,000 trees and counting. Most of them don't get the TLC that the white pines and cedar receive. A century or two down the road, I hope there will be children playing in their shade.

Morning routine in 2025: Me: How'd you sleep? Wife, reading news: Okay. Patel is doing lie detector tests and firing top people at FBI. Me: Yup. Also ICE guys have white supremacist tattoos & are zip-tying children. And they're arresting Congressmen & staffers. You want coffee? W: Yeah, thanks.
