I know it feels like the day-to-day intensity of the ICE occupation in Minnesota has calmed down, but there are so many lagging problems that need solving, right as people’s attention goes elsewhere. Financial assistance, like help with rent, and legal help for the detained. These horrors persist.
VACCINATE YOUR DAMN KIDS
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26
NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%
My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.
Okay this made me cry
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Your tax dollars at work.
We went from making up reasons like "weapons of mass destruction" to you know what, fuck it we don't need to even lie, the president "had a feeling" that they pose a threat so we just bomb them so we can. A country doing this can't expect peace inside.
Gestern ist in Washington, D. C. ein vormaliger U.S.-Marineinfanterist namens Brian McGinnis im Großen Dienstanzug zu einer Sitzung des Armed Services subcommittee aufgelaufen, um gegen den amerikanischen Überfall auf Iran zu protestieren.
Es kam zu Handgreiflichkeiten.

Spain's leader with a message that should be adopted by every top Democrat
In the business, this is commonly known as a “protection racket”.
Nice boat you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

Not ICE. Not Border Patrol. Just the same rotten local cops we've always had
When a company in an industry built on hype tells you that a use case is a bad idea—and actually dangerous—that means it’s a *catastrophically* bad idea.
very curious if Schumer did anything
So, consider how this goes:
They deploy ICE to remove people who are “illegal”
Kavanaugh says US citizens will be fine, once they show their IDs (sure, buddy)
Kansas just showed us they can & will invalidate the LEGALLY ISSUED IDs of CITIZENS immediately & without warning
Because they want to
'A small object called the Adorant figurine discovered in a cave in Germany in 1979 - crafted roughly 40,000 years ago by some of the earliest people to establish a distinct culture in Europe - bears intriguing sequences of notches and dots.'
There are currently 711 bills under consideration that target trans people.
This is an all out assault that has not abated since the moment Republicans understood they could target trans people with little pushback and much support from moderates and liberals.
The media should cover this as murder because it is.
The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Musk at World Economic Forum
This guy's smiling photograph is appearing today, in normal news coverage of an elite gathering.
He has killed 215,000 adults and 445,000 children with USAID cuts, as of the most recent estimates. 14 million deaths are expected by 2030.
This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

It's out 11 June there and is available for preorder now. geni.us/MotherTongue

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.
Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.
