Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

Pope Leo XIV’s top ally in Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy has told Catholics to convert the politicians who tolerate Trump’s war on immigrants “or replace them.” He was met with a standing ovation.

Excellent book @ziibiing.com. Now I’m off to put it in a little free library in this Trumpy town.

Love you Kruse- I show this cartoon every year for my immigration unit (turn of the century) sums it up - as well as this one:

In recent weeks, congressmen like Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH) have leveled racist attacks against immigrant communities in their districts. As I note in CAMPAIGN TRAILS, a century ago those same racist attacks were being made against people named Emmer and Rulli.

There's always some dude who is like "Well, the right got Kavanaugh so why can't we have--" BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT OUR OWN FUCKING KAVANAUGH, ZERO KAVANAUGHS IS ENOUGH KAVANAUGHS.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

This is the 28th time I’ve posted this classic Doonesbury in the past 10 years.

my colleagues at @racketmn.com are raising funds for a local mom who needs help with rent. the total is $4,785—we’re trying to raise $4,000 as a four-person newsroom. i believe racket readers can do it this weekend!!! V: @em-cassel PP: @biketrouble please share widely and donate if you can! 💗✨

@klobuchar.senate.gov you think this can be reformed?

No, Cynthia Nixon caused a sensation by appearing in The Real Thing and Hurlyburly at the same time and commuting between them on her bicycle. What Nick Shirley caused was people getting killed. Please make a note of it.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I have the need to comment this in response to @klobuchar.senate.gov so often I created a macro for it

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

@kentremendous.bsky.social with the Parks and Rec Easter egg in A Man on the Inside (which y’all should be watching immediately) ❤️❤️❤️

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Ahem @amyklobuchar.com

@safety.bsky.app you need to address this now!

Hey @startribune.com, doesn’t it seem newsworthy that POTUS is reposting Q-anon memes?

Everything is perfectly normal and fine. Nothing to see here.

@amyklobuchar.com per my voicemails…

@startribune.com this Minnesotan would like to hear from them, maybe you will have more luck getting a statement because their staffers never answer questions from constituents.

@amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov now THIS is how your constituents want you to do it

@smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com per my voicemails...

@amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov as your constituent. I was flabbergasted when you voted to confirm Rubio, and I’m even more disgusted now.

McBride: If we summon our hope then we will find the light and turn this moment into what a friend from Florida once called a slingshot moment.. where we are pulled backwards but the tension and pressure of being pulled backwards ultimately propels us to destinations that we have not yet been

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

“Today, right now—and I mean right this second—you have the most power you’ll ever have in the current fight against authoritarianism in America,” writes @adriennelaf.bsky.social. If you wait to speak out against autocrats, you have already lost: https://theatln.tc/Dub5DrW8

@amyklobuchar.com @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social @smith.senate.gov we need to be screaming about this!

@amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social please join Senator Van Hollen!

With Yoon removed from office today, by my count that makes 34 democratic leaders convicted since 2010. Only one—Trump—faced no real consequences. Trump's actions weren't uncommon. What was exceptional was how our institutions failed to hold him accountable.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

This funny 'American Pie' parody bites hard — from a comedy show that went out a few days ago in the UK

A favor to ask: my book proposal goes out to publishers early next month. If you want to read the story that I’ve never told, can you please help me get to 100k followers by April 1? Thank you! 🙏

Basically describes me and all my friends
