The Minnesota resistance exposed the Orwellian frauds of the administration β€’ Minnesota Reformer This may be the beginning of the end of Trump’s ability to assert whatever version of reality he wants.

Commentary: Minnesota’s resistance to the ICE surge cracked the Trump reality bubble. The air started leaking out, and the truth in.

When they told us to reject the evidence in front of our eyes, we kept recording. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/11/t...

Addressing the Firefighter retirement health care gap might have something to do with addressing the way municipal revenue sharing has been corrupted by MI Republicans.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

As a parent, I was horrified when I discovered this dark part of the web. I'm also horrified that this story has not received more attention to warn others. More at www.HateComesToMainStreet.com.

U.S. Military Refuses to Endorse Trump Claim That Iran Bombed Girls’ School β€œIt would be inappropriate to comment given the incident is under investigation,” CENTCOM told The Intercept.

β€œThis is another instance of Trump lying and just talking out of his ass,” said a U.S. government official who reviewed satellite images of the Shajarah Tayyebeh school. β€œThis clearly was not a failed rocket from the IRGC base.”

Oh, this one's a classic:

One shoe, two shoe,
Stop blowing up brown children with my fucking healthcare money, you murderous ghouls.

I do not like it in a dump.
I do not like it by a trump.
I do not like it over there.
I do not like it anywhere.

Kristi Noem personally approved all DHS contracts over a certain threshold.

But before the contracts reached her, they had to be approved by political appointees. Lewandowski was typically the last to OK a contract before Noem, DHS officials said.
