Iranβs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
The Kennedy Center may never recover if Trump demolishes it
Congress ordered it be a living memorial to a slain president
Trump is defying that order β & itβs blatantly illegal
Weβre in court to stop it

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.
Sergeant First Class Nicole Amor was the best of America and the best of Minnesota.
It was an honor to attend the dignified transfer for Sergeant First Class Amor alongside her family and bear witness to her return to the country she loved and fought for.
A federal judge in Washington, D.C. has ruled that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed as the leader of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) the independent federal agency that oversees Voice of America and other U.S.-funded international broadcasters.
I know a bunch of groypers run the administrationβs Twitter accounts but just in terms of basic facts: 1) Iran or Iranians didnβt carry out Oct 7, & 2) no babies had their heads cut off on Oct 7. Just total atrocity propaganda that was long ago debunked but still pushed by Trump
If the US strike on the girls school was a bona fide mistake, does that mean it was _not_ a war crime? Nope. Things aren't that simple. The question is recklessness is critical in this context. But Hegseth's stonewalling will undermine the existence of defenses. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
Pete Buttigieg just put Georgia-14 on the map. When a former Cabinet Secretary says Shawn Harris has what it takes to flip a red district-you listen! Lower drug prices. A real farm bill. Medicare protected. Georgia, on Tuesday, March 10th show up for someone who cares about you!
Though their offensive antics might delight Trump, these Ugly Americans further alienate vital allies. Even in Poland, one of the most pro-American nations in the world, a majority of respondents in a recent poll said the U.S. is no longer a reliable ally. wapo.st/3OQYwu8
Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon speaking during a congressional hearing
Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon: βSo he is using YOUR Tax Dollars to protect oil tankers from attacks in the Strait of Hormuz, which will cause gas prices to go up β because he started a war using YOUR Tax Dollarsβ
More than 1.5 million girls were sent to maternity homes during the Baby Scoop era, where they were kept in seclusion, told they didnβt deserve to be mothers, and returned to their lives to pretend none of it happened.
This is the America the GOP wants to make great again.
Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
Minnesota is a global leader in sustainable agriculture - and with a workforce second to none, companies like Pivot Bio know the value of investing here.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itβs good sheβs gone.
But this doesnβt change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Minnesotans are resolved to protect our children.
Itβs time for Republican legislators to step up.

Sad to hear of the passing of my former colleague Congresswoman Hanabusa.
She was a fierce advocate for Native Hawaiian rights and a great friend to Gwen and me.

Putin gave Trump a 6-week deadline to complete his assignment of destroying the U.S. as a world power and serious competitor.
Or else....the Epstein files....
In a lifetime, I was given the opportunity to push Clarence Thomas into the Hudson on a Circle Line wedding cruise, toss a drunk Rudy Giuliani down the stairs at Peter Luger's, and pour a fine Chilean red over Henry Kissinger at Le Bernadin. The cost of my conscience to the republic is considerable.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
She taught thousands of Black Americans how to defeat Jim Crow with a pen.
Septima Poinsette Clark helped build citizenship schools that taught people to read, pass voter registration literacy tests and claim their right to vote.
Her classrooms helped build the civil rights movement.

The newly released Epstein files are some of the most morally repugnant, disturbing testimony ever made public.
Itβs systemic abuse, trafficking, threats, and dehumanization of underage girls carried out by powerful, wealthy men who believed they were untouchable.

The convergence of fascist state capture with the creation in AI of an aspirational unwaged labor machine really emphasizes the underlying desire to eliminate the rest of us.

The world tried to limit women. Maya Angelou erased them with poetry

βStill I Riseβ became a battle cry for every woman who refused to stay down
A reminder that kindness, dignity, truth leave a deeper mark than words ever could.
