a committee in the MN House of Representatives in which the GOP members are all men was told by a democrat that the GOP members of the committee are all men (a factual statement), and those men got so, So, mad.
They claimed that factually describing the committee had "impugned their motives."
lolz.
this will be a public health disaster.
We could end the transmission of HIV this year. That has been true for a decade. That we have not done so is a public policy choice.

Iran vowed retaliation and several Arab states that host U.S. military bases said they had been attacked.

Hard news to wake to but not unexpected. We are once again facing a regime change war, a regional war, an effort of chaos and destruction without understanding where we are headed and what it will cost the world.
Once More: NO MORE WAR.
et tu, Lebron?
they won't silence me.
the interesting thing about this latest tumble through the national rightwing lie machine is that my biggest defender on twitter is the AI chatbot, grok.

Billionaire class robs again
whoa.
I've been in the barrel before over on that other site but this time feels different.
did you know I wrote a book?
People like to pull it from libraries, but not this one!
truly devastating to see this happen. just absolutely gutting.
“the only outcome I can imagine is that this hateful effort is defeated. Now, that may take a few years or more, and when they’re gone, it’s going to take several more years to rebuild what has been broken. But 100%, I believe that we will win.”

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.
This administration will lie without thinking. They lie as easy as breathing.
But.
Minnesotans need to be sure that Minnesota's cities are following city & state laws, not complying with administration directives just to get along.
I trust Keith, not this ghoul. But let's make it clear as crystal.
Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.

Photo of a narrow board with three posters on it. The top is an image of Renee Good, the middle says “Renee Good” and the third says “killed by ICE agent”

We remembered and celebrated Renee Good today. It was a beautiful ceremony.
Screenshot of a teeet from DHS reading: “The @nytimes should be embarrassed with this attempt to smear DHS law enforcement. ICE does not conduct enforcement at hospitals—period. We would only go into a hospital if there were an active danger to public safety. If anyone is impeding Minnesotans from making appointments or picking up prescriptions, its violent agitators who are blocking roadways. Furthermore, pregnancy in ICE detention is exceedingly rare—making up 0.133% of all illegal aliens in custody. Pregnant women receive regular prenatal visits, mental health services, nutritional support, and accommodations aligned with community standards of care. This is the best healthcare many of these individuals have received in their entire lives.”
Quick reminder everything they say is a fucking lie.
We are facing a major healthcare crisis due to the occupation.
Pregnant people are regularly missing care & do face an impossible choices.
Occupying agents ABSOLUTELY enter hospitals for enforcement purposes and have since they arrived.
Caucus is TOMORROW
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
Of course we did
Even for the moment that we are in, arresting journalists on the ground is an extreme step and should be condemned by all.
Without freedom of the press there’s no democracy.
The administration is now arresting journalists, an outcome so many had warned against, a clear before/after step in the authoritarian project; one that we should all recognize.
Don Lemon and Georgia Fort both have every right to practice their craft, protected by the first amendment in doing so.
I agree.
The bill defines the exemptions.
Yes, Rep. Everyone knows I'm trans.
Now what about the policy? Are we going to work together to bring accountability to those empowered to use force on our neighbors, or not?
