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)

My spirits are lifted after seeing so many turn up today. I feel less crazy than usual. Let’s be sure to bring this energy to the polls next year. #NoKings 🔥 👊🏼 🇺🇸

This is a huge point. Neither national party makes an unabashed case for 1) the positivity of immigration for our society and 2) the tremendous value we get from a well-functioning, well-funded, professionally run Federal government.

I suggest all those going to #NoKings watch the John Lewis doc on Disney+ His story is an inspiration and he was a master of non violent protest that brought about some of the most significant changes in history. He never gave up and he wanted us to keep fighting the good fight. #goodtrouble

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

What. The. Fuck.

Autocrats turn ordinary situations into emergencies so they can wield extraordinary power.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices.” ― Edward R. Murrow

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

This administration does not have the cards. I repeat, they don’t have the cards. We outnumber them. We outnumber the military in this country. We outnumber the members of the administration. He’s high off his ass if he thinks 800,000 troops are going to patrol 4 million square miles of this country

We need to keep doing this. We need to constantly remind the media and the people that these are ordinary people, not boogie men criminals. They’re human beings being grabbed by the real monsters who are ICE.

Go off, Queens.

Nothing to see here. Just @emilyjaynef.bsky.social being forcibly removed from NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall tonight for having the temerity to act like a citizen of the United States. Hero.

Trying to explain to my kid that back in my day you could just google a phone number to see who it was before answering. They are missing out on so much.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Public opinion on immigration is 1) malleable, and 2) easily sours on visible cruelty, and if anyone told you otherwise over the last 5 years, they're offering you cursed ideology masked as wise pragmatism
