Stop voting for Trump’s nominees. Denounce ICE activities in Minneapolis in clear, unambiguous language. Use her power to hold up Senate business. Quit running all her statements through the metric of polls and focus group. Act like a human being. Quit abusing staff. It’s not that hard.

You will never regret opposing a war Because wars destroy human beings, and we are meant for more than destruction

I will never forgive the DFL "centrists" and Jacob Frey mafia that financed Pearll Warren's campaign so she could "represent" the 5th Ward. Did Scott Graham serve as Pearll Warren's campaign manager or is this just a bad dream of mine?

These are the same people who say that their grandpa had a total knee replacement and was paying golf the next week. It's such a sick, able-ist capitalist viewpoint.

dawanna witt's hennepin county sheriff's deputies are once again hiding their faces at the whipple building, just like ICE and CBP do

It just can’t be said enough that for months the federal government waged war on the people of Minnesota, kidnapping them off the streets, driving families into hiding, and killing 2 of people. And if you cannot call that out or state that clearly, you’re not one of us. You’re one of them.

I don't like wars any better when they are done "legally" or "the right way".

Has Sen Amy Klobuchar posted that she "supports our troops?" That was always her go-to position on the Iraq -Afghanistan wars.

This is still twice as many as they said, and almost 7 times as many as pre-surge.

every single time it gets laid bare for you, every single time you have a choice, to retreat into copaganda and cop hagiography (that you know to be false,) every single time you have a choice to move on from here when it is finally enough already.

Because the media must always make it that "both sides" have issues. The media's religion of false equivalency is killing democracy.

I can’t believe the big donors/pundits/ DFL machine have stuck usβ€”the serfsβ€”with Amy K for governor. She’s just awful and will ruin whatever is left of the DFL brand. Where is this era’s version of Jesse Ventura to deliver us?

Your regular reminder that Rep. Craig voted for the Laken Riley Act as well as the resolution praising ICE. Both cast long shadows over this performative action.
