Talarico Win Shows Democrats Can't 'Write Off Latinos Who Voted for Trump': Ex-Bernie Sanders Strategist
Two great reasons to pass Bernie Sanders' 5% billionaire wealth tax:
1. $4.4 TRILLION in revenue for education, healthcare, childcare, and housing
2. Less money for the billionaires rigging our economy, warping our politics, and controlling our media
That's called a win-win.
Billionaires love to claim that they need to keep their vast fortunes so they can continue donating to good causes.
But as Billie Eilish points out, most of them really aren’t all that generous.
Watch.
Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) condemns Donald Trump and the Trump Administration, as well as their enablers in Congress, the media, and elsewhere for launching and supporting a reckless, illegal, unprovoked, and unconstitutional war on Iran

Thank you. It appears the only thing we're truly doing to stop him is protesting him and bring lawsuits against him. Keep them as busy and distracted as we can just as he's trying to do to us. Too many, far from all, but enough, continue to capitulate despite even Kamala pointing that out. #NotMeUs
These cuts are the latest in a long series of efforts to punish Minnesotans — but just as we fought back and won when they illegally tried to cut funding for childcare, hungry families, and our schools, we are suing them again today to make them follow the law.
Coast to coast, our cry is clear: No War on Iran.
Congress declares war. Not the president.
Tell Congress: support the War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s illegal war: tinyurl.com/ke4eknwh
We’ve seen this before: presidents escalate, defense contractors profit, and the people pay the price.
Trump. Bombed. Iran.
This is how endless wars begin — without public debate, Congressional authorization, or the consent of the people who will pay the price.
Schumer has called on Congress to vote on the War Powers Act ASAP.

Wishing our Muslim neighbors in the #MA7 & around the globe a rewarding month of joy, peace, & community.
The "strong Mayor" Frey definitely won't do it. The sadly gullible Minneapolis voters essentially picked nothing but more Freys, so a Mamdani leader or veto override is no longer possible. That doesn't mean don't try it. Put it to the vote and expose the #ICE capitulation crew. #MPRB
Wild to look at this and have to wonder if this would pass the Minneapolis City Council unanimously
Sign to support Rashida Tlaib’s new Defund the Oligarchs, Fund Our Communities resolution: It demands Congress tax the rich & big corporations while reinvesting in our communities’ needs—such as healthcare, housing, education, other essentials.

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.
ICE detentions across Minnesota are leaving families without income and struggling to cover rent and legal bills. Many are turning to community aid for help.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The MN DFL held their convocation yesterday. I wasn't there because of the School Board budget session, but my fellow elected DFLers made me a representative to the State Central Committee as well as a Super Delegate. So grateful for their support and excited to get more involved in the state party!
would be nice if @governorwalz.mn.gov could explain what he has ordered his state police force to do... sure does appear to be doing DHS dirty work to appease homan
Awesome idea and action. Don't forget Venezuela and Palestine. #distraction #WhenWeOrganizeWeWin #WWOWW
Sounds like it's time for @our-revolution.bsky.social to us. Only 3 are in power to do something more than protest, be injured, jailed, or murdered by #ICE and the area's law enforcement. Timmy @governorwalz.mn.gov & Minneapolis Mayor Frey & Hennepin Sheriff Witt have failed us repeatedly. #MNleg
