CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical.

My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able.

You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

A legally blind, 65 yr-old woman: has unintentionally lost 28 pounds because she can't afford food under Trump. "The end is coming near. Under Joe Biden I received $80 SNAP per month & was able to put away $100 per month for food. Trump took that away from me." #sheshed

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

This is what they have in the USA and what Nigel Farage wants to bring to the UK.

Sixteen years in MN and I’ve never set foot in this miraculous place: a midwestern dive bar where everyone is Hmong, with an attached pool hall, EDM stage, and where you can order pho until midnight. The idea people would want to kick immigrants out of this region is insane.

ALL MN PROTESTERS

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

This is Trumps fvcked up America!

“The goalkeeper told me I’m an illegal immigrant even though I was born in America, and he said Trump was gonna get me and send me back. It makes me really sad.”

i've been reading about stalin. when the great terror hit it was everywhere, all at once, against everyone--every city, every town, every remote fucking village. stephen miller can't even subjugate one mid-sized city.

their power depends on us believing they have power.

resist.

Maybe Denmark could offer to accept Minnesota as payment for Greenland. Trump might be interested since he doesn’t like us much. It’s a good fit because there are more people here with Danish ancestry (about 63,000) than the total population of Denmark.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

This is from a twitter post from 2018 by Rep. Rick Larsen, is what I found when I searched this image.

Apparently it was a parade in DC.

If we can't get our wish and he *does* get his ego-stroking parade, I hope it is even emptier of onlookers than what we see here.

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one.

All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

An American President is going to turn a foreign luxury plane from Qatar into Air Force One. And then he’s going to keep the $400 million gift after he leaves office. It’s a disgrace to our country and a potential national security risk. Our Oversight Committee must investigate.

It Was All So Stupid

Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we’d brought this on ourselves.
