Sunday thought: We will prevail Finding courage in a dark time

open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
Great quick read from Robert Reich. The one thing we must all do, is that after tRump is gone, we have to get rid of every sycophant that enabled him. That is every MAGA Congressperson and staff member from every department. They all must go

We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE.

But Iโ€™ve moved on to prosecute ICE yโ€™all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.

Iโ€™d like to skip to the part where everyone acknowledges that the President of the United States is insane. Please.

Donald Trump has literally taken at least 10 years off the life of every American in this country.
With his constant chaos.

Exclusive: New York, Utah lead nation in protecting children's mental wellbeing "Right now, a kid's chance at flourishing depends on their zip code," the Anxious Generation Movement said.

What if states competed to have the best policies for kids and technology instead of the biggest subsidies for billionaires? The new Childhood Index challenges governors to lead on stronger protections for kids online and healthier digital environments. www.axios.com/2026/03/04/c...

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

It's infuriating and frankly disrespectful to call our modern-day Gestapo, aka ICE, "law enforcement officers." They're nothing of the sort. Real law enforcement protects (or should protect) people. ICE terrorizes them.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness โ€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

Bravo Dario Amodei! This is outside the SF office of Anthropic. With ICE Nazis literally murdering US citizens, I don't think people understand the courage and moral clarity it takes to say no to a pedophile fรผhrer and his fascist authoritarian regime. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™

Minnesota 2026 budget forecast shows a $1.3 billion higher projection than in November The budget forecast for Minnesota is set to be released on Friday, with a surplus expected this year but a looming deficit in the years to come.

Good news today in Minnesota.

From school meals, to paid family leave, and a nation-leading child tax credit, weโ€™ve proven we can invest to make Minnesota the best place to raise a family while keeping our stateโ€˜s finances strong.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Yes, This is the truth! The minute I heard about the ruling, I saw it as the SJC trying to save Trump from is own worst instincts.

So basically Trump can post that heโ€™s sending a hospital ship to Greenland for no reason, then do absolutely nothing to actually send a hospital ship to Greenland because it was all a lie, and not one single Republican gets asked about it. Thatโ€™s where weโ€™re at.

People don't want data centers polluting their cities.

They don't want masked thugs terrorizing their neighbors.

They don't want warehouses being turned into ICE prisons.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home.

They want their basic needs met.

An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits.
