Russia is helping Iran target U.S. troops.

Ukraine is helping the U.S. protect them.

The contrast couldn't be clearer.

3 vet visits this week for this one's injured paw cost less than one vet trip back home in the US so add that to the long list of reasons why I don't want to move back anytime soon...

My thing with Hegseth is that he wants you to think he was a scary, war-criming, door-kicker when he was actually a Minnesota National Guardsman assigned to the 101st Airborne Division as a replacement in Iraq, then quickly pulled from the line and shuffled off to a Civil Affairs unit mid-tour.

Millennial nostalgia did not include a wish for another pointless war with devastating consequences.

@markhertling.bsky.social: "There is no rational legal basis for this strike.”

As the world watches Iranian “Shahed” drones hit Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai and other places in the Middle East, keep in mind Ukrainians have endured similar bombardment every day and night for years.

The russian terrorist state and Iranian terrorist state combine to attack Ukraine.

So let's not do this. The great part of a competitive primary is we get to have a debate and vote for the candidate we feel best aligns with our issues. Ultimately, I will vote for the Dem nominee regardless, but this purity test you're doing is counterproductive

This is really abhorrent. Before casting my ballot for the March 3 Democratic primary, I gave genuine consideration to both Crockett and Talarico before enthusiastically voting for Talarico. This shit from Crockett makes me proud to have voted for Talarico. #TeamTalarico #TurnTexasBlue

How ready am I for baseball season? Finally finished my #Astros Minute Maid Park / Daikin Park bricks set. Shout out to my cats who didn't steal a single piece in the weeks it took me to build this thing.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

One thing that shows you how bad ICE’s tactics are — ACTUAL cops are among the most vocal and biting in criticizing them.

YES!

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head.

There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government, & they want this

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

It's time to identify those 23 people and begin the pressure on them. This administration will not stop, even if the courts order it. That much is clear.

Concealed carry is legal in the state of Minnesota

Once again, the government is trying to get you to believe your own eyes are lying to you. This was another murder by ICE, an agency that proves day after day it has no business policing on America’s streets.

Fuck this. O'Hara should be demanding they leave. They're making the city more dangerous. MPD's goal is to keep the people of Minneapolis safe.

If you slow video down to 1/2 or 1/4 speed, you can see multiple agents have their guns out while actively fighting with the man on the ground; one of the agents is literally pistol whipping him. This is what happens when you don't train ICE and let an armed goon squad patrol our cities. #AbolishICE

I have watched the video several times and genuinely can't understand why they started shooting. Even if he was armed, owning a gun is legal in the US and it doesn't appear the man being beaten by masked agents was reaching for it. I hope we get to see a ton of these guys go to prison.

I'm really looking forward to hearing from the same people who have spent decades yelling about the Second Amendment that this shooting was somehow justified because the observer (allegedly) had a gun.

It turns out, it was never about *all* of our liberty.

All of my friends back in Minneapolis are posting about how many layers they're putting on to go protest in -15° weather today. Some friends I've never seen get out and march. This administration fucked with the wrong state. I'm so damn proud of Minnesota 💙

Highly entertaining thread on the heels of attending a PhD seminar dinner by an expert on developing a new theory of war in London. Pleased to see said expert wasn't mentioned but many of his critiques are!

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

I feel like we're not far off from Trump's DOJ illegally arresting Minnesota Dems, starting with Congresswoman Omar, with rhetoric like this...

Three coffins wrapped in Danish flags are carried by 4-6 soldiers each; a cargo aircraft is in the background

I think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying

I’m just gonna disagree with literally everything she said

So, How’s the Occupation Going for You? What’s it like to live in America with a domestic military occupation? Minnesota has the answer.

Articles like this are precisely why we should all be reading and supporting @liberalcurrents.com

Kavanaugh stops leads to man being shot by federal law enforcement should be the main takeaway here...
