The Minnesota resistance exposed the Orwellian frauds of the administration โ€ข Minnesota Reformer This may be the beginning of the end of Trumpโ€™s ability to assert whatever version of reality he wants.

Commentary: Minnesotaโ€™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...

You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.

What happened to you absolutely sucks. The arrogance and lack of consideration is appalling. I have so much respect for the work you do!

It seems like any Democrat intending to fund more missiles for Hegseth to play with should at least get some answers from the Pentagon first about the bombing of the girls elementary school.

Unless you want to be responsible for financing the next one without any due diligence.

Thank you thank you Rep. Raskin for forcing Kristi to sit in the putrid stench of her lies and invective.

Hope that changes someday. But how sad that we are here.

It IS crazy. Was thinking how crazy it is while watching video of Hillary Clintonn testifying this morning, how different the world would be right now if she'd won.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

Trump might start a war with Iran. Can anyone stop him? Trump might start a war with Iran. Can anyone stop him? Congress, public opinion, and administration insiders arenโ€™t reliable constraints on Trumpโ€™s foreign policy decisions.

Quick reactions after learning that no, nobody could stop him. 1/ goodauthority.org/news/trump-m... 1/

Hey world, Operation Metro Surge isn't over. Nearly 1,000 ๐ŸงŠare still here, thousands still sheltering in place, rent is coming due & mutual aid networks are running out of funds. We need more people and companies to step up. Please don't forget about Minnesota. (photo taken over I-35E in St. Paul)

"It wasn't just that I was moved by it. I was tactically impressed by it. It is from the heart, but extremely well organized, and it was such a thing to see."

In 1954, Edward R. Murrow reminded us that disagreeing with those in power isnโ€™t the same as being disloyal. He warned against letting fear take over & replacing evidence with accusations.

This is a call to courage. Freedom doesnโ€™t protect itself.

On Keeping Hope Alive in 2026 In this age of ICE, Jesse Jackson's fiery words take on new meaning

The first time I heard Jesse Jackson's fiery exaltation to "Keep hope alive! Keep hope alive!" I was working as an exalted gofer for the AP. Nearly four decades later, Jackson's words take on new meaning here in Minnesota and elsewhere. open.substack.com/pub/pamschmi...

The Epstein survivors. The citizens of Minnesota. The people of Ukraine. Three remarkable examples for all of us of courage, persistence, and resistance in dark times.

We will not merely endure, we will prevail.
