Been thinking about the fact that nobody says no to trump. Couldn't we clip parts of movies where someone stands up to a bully and put them on social media. Or even show groups disgusted by bully behavior. Remind people how it is done?

AI data centers either operational, under construction or proposed according to the Erin Brockovich map. This is a massive taking of the commons of clean air, clean water, land and quiet.

Fight every single time oligarchs try to grab the commons--air, water, land, our labor--and extract its value for themselves and themselves alone. Fight hard.

If you’re traveling and spot ICE at the airport, start snapping photos. They aren't allowed to wear masks inside the terminal, which gives us a rare, massive opportunity for identification. Don’t miss the shot

Has anyone noticed all business phones are now answered by maddeningly nonresponsive AI systems? Everyone should post transcripts of these insane non-conversations. "I want to talk to a human." "Why do you want to talk to a human, ma'am?" "How do you think I know you're a non-human?" etc.

Masks off, cameras on, no qualified immunity. You do it, you own it.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

EXCLUSIVE: A Ukrainian dad escaped Vladimir Putin’s drone and missile attacks back home only to be grabbed by a band of laughing ICE stooges in a Walmart parking lot in Minneapolis.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

CBS is relaying DHS's lies about what happened in Minnesota on the news tonight without any pushback. Shame on them.

Federal agents had barred state investigators from the scene of Saturday’s shooting in Minneapolis, the head of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said, despite the agency taking the rare step of obtaining a search warrant. “We’re in uncharted territory here,” he said. Follow updates.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

Soldiers from other countries are filling Reddit with photos of the caskets of guys who "did nothing for the US." This despicable lie is eating like acid through what remains of the goodwill Europeans once had for us.

Trump is clearly not well. At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

President Sundown McGoodbrain thinks he won all three times in Minnesota despite losing all three times.

Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

You cannot tell voters that this regime is an existential threat one day and aid and abet it every other day. Either you're lying or you are complicit, neither of which makes you fit for office.

7 Democrats just voted today to confirm a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say what happened on January 6 or answer who won the 2020 election: Durbin Hassan Kaine King Klobuchar Shaheen Welch

If you've ever taken a meat science class it is basically about controlling the process of rigor mortis in the dead and dying animal to produce the most succulent morsel for our eating. So there's that.

“Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.”

Tina Smith: "I've worked closely with law enforcement in my roles at state and local government, and I have never seen anybody describe as protocol holding a cell phone and taking video while you are simultaneously shooting a gun that ends up killing somebody. It's kind of unbelievable."
