Alex Pretti's father delivered a message to U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Dan Rosen and Attorney General Todd Blanche:

Pope Leo: "War can never be waged in the name of God. For us believers, to fight in the name of religion means attacking religion itself. There is no such thing as a holy war: only peace is holy." www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...
Americans right now are righteously angry & full of fear at what Trump is doing to this country. Anger & fear are great motivators. And what I heard this past weekend in Omaha confirmed to me that a big old blue wave is coming. Today’s piece.👇 socialcontractwithjoewalsh.substack.com/p/notes-from...
@literaryhub.bsky.social Fuck off with this nonsense. People do what they want to do. They don't do what they don't want to do.
People have moral agency. Fascist racists are fascist racists because they want to be, not because anyone "made them" or because democracy was drunk.
that food you can’t afford? you don’t need it anyway, fatty. and the gas you can’t afford? walk that fat ass to work! wait why aren’t you voting for us
The Trump administration is attempting to prosecute former FBI Director James Comey for what it calls disclosing classified information, employing the unusual maneuver of bypassing a grand jury — a move Comey's lawyers say makes the case legally invalid. https://to.pbs.org/47J21Jj
I don’t know why Democrats haven’t been getting under Princess Pea’s skin for the last 10 years
It’s the easiest layup and they just keep passing the ball
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"
Trump: "I'm also going to be issuing a $1 million bonus or reward or whatever you want to call it for anybody that reports voter fraud, leading to the arrest and conviction of somebody. We're giving that person $1 million."
Senator Bernie Sanders and Abdul El-Sayed walk onto the stage to chanting and roaring applause at the University of Michigan Students vs. Billionaires town hall
Trump wants Americans to talk about Nicki Minaj's and Jon Husted's asses rather than the 240th day of the Never Ending Iran War, the Epstein Files, the Billionaire Class trying to buy another election, fuel prices, grocery prices, housing prices, inflation, or the newest rape allegation against him.
"Breaking News: Trump is a sex criminal who actively participated in Epstein's crimes"
Surely most of us know this by now, but I guess I'm glad we're still finding ways to remind people.
Lula "We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."
So many countries have this problem and need to slay this beast.
this is very sound advice in many ways & I’m not a political journalist either but I do have some knowledge of bad politics so I will add: yes; also, sometimes it’s worth sharing bad statements by powerful people to help draw a line & create a culture of rejection & permission structure for dissent
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.
Right. You could of course vote Republican and assure your rights are stripped. Or stay at home and somehow rationalize that your rights are more important than those of the 240 million who did not vote for Trump and the destruction of our democracy. Or vote democrat and have people who listen.
"We’ll be working closely with our Appropriations Committee partners to make sure that we’re doing everything we can to cut off money used for political persecution," Jamie Raskin tells me. “Everybody involved from top to bottom will be subject to legislative investigation."
Here Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin talk to me about working with Dem Appropriators to target Trump's corrupt prosecutions of Ilhan Omar and others with various defunding tactics.
“We will actively and aggressively investigate this case,” Jayapal says.
