Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win.
Any political party spreading lies about voter fraud as a pretext to make it harder for every one to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.
Remember this.
-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
These are the foundations of real freedom.
Does that seem fair to you?
Political philosophy supporting democracy makes clear the ultimate check on dictatorships.
It's us.
The real sovereign is the people.
Let me say this,to the politicians who could not find the time to do the right thing...we are doing it without you.
We ,the sovereign
Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .
AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.
He’s in the news because people are rightly disgusted a draft dodger is insulting dead soldiers.
He wants to be in the news. He doesn’t care what for. I’m not sure what the solution is, but keeping him in the news has secured him a second presidency. Maybe we need to stop putting him in the news.
We all have a right to be angry at GOP voters -- that almost goes without saying. But I still maintain a special reserve of vitriol for people who can't be bothered to vote at all. They, by themselves, could have prevented this. They, by themselves, can stop this whenever they want to.
Never in my most cynical dreams did I imagine so many people willing to sell out their own country for money, attention, clout, out of spite, ignorance or hate.
That will remain the most heartbreaking part of this ordeal.
America is such a beautiful idea.
We are becoming unworthy of it.
Many people, myself included, wonder why America hasn't risen up to remove Trump, but it's important to recognize efforts to stop him have been going for over a decade. We have never just let Trump happen.
Two people you should never trust; A religious leader who tells you how to vote, and a polition who tells you how to pray.
There are entirely too many commentators on NFL pregame, halftime, and postgame shows
Minnesota is more than what you see on TV.
We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors.
I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do.

Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.
To everyone who stayed home last November,
I hope this was worth it.
"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob."
—FDR, 1936
Uneducated voters will always be a greater danger to this country than immigrants.
When America abdicates its role as a defender of freedom and becomes the oppressor, it emboldens dictators everywhere.
We are about to learn some hard lessons.
One being how instrumental we used to be at preventing the world from descending into madness.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.
Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.
It will be critical to bring Trump and his henchmen to justice. But it will only be part of the recovery process. We need to fool-proof the country against this ever happening again.
