This action "is a ringing alarm bell warning all of us of the extent to which this administration has succeeded in degrading our governing institutions in such a short period of time." My statement progressivereform.org/cpr-blog/epa...

A lot of people are asking very good questions about the age for starting colorectal cancer screening. These guidelines are set by the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF), which had 2 out of 3 of their meetings cancelled in 2025 by RFK Jr. He also wants to fire every member.

As Kansas’ top election official, Kris Kobach drafted a resolution that sharply opposed federal influence on voting. That was 2013. As Trump pushes to "nationalize" elections, the draft resolution has taken on new scrutiny. w/ @bymatthewkelly.bsky.social. www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

This whole thread. On how ICE and DHS are ignoring orders to release ppl, moving them to Texas to get favorable judges, and holding them—including young children—in absolutely inhumane conditions. It’s so clear that neither ICE nor DHS are compatible w the rule of law and must be dismantled.

So the confrontations, violent apprehensions, and general fear bearing down on communities like Minnesota is only the beginning of the nightmare. Behind the scenes, Orwellian anti-judicial antics thwart lawful recourse. And hidden from sight, non-citizens are tortured for being noncitizens. 29/

I had two clients moved within an hour of ICE learning we were looking for them and advising us there was not plan to move them. A family of four moved 36 hours after a court order forbidding them from being moved. 3 other clients moved within a day of court-ordered injunctions. 20/

And even when we move at warp speed and outpace this regime, DHS doesn’t care. They’ve moved people to Texas hours or days after being enjoined. When ordered to return them, DHS just… doesn’t. The AUSAs let them: when we notify them of a violation, they send the email equivalent of a shrug. 19/

Meanwhile, DHS shows its contempt for the judiciary in a different way. In dozens, likely now thousands, of cases, DHS openly defies court orders. Minnesota courts enter orders forbidding ICE from moving noncitizens who’ve filed habeas petitions out of Minnesota. They move them anyway. 16/

Yet, Trump and his minions continue to disgrace America with their actions—and inaction. Putin is grateful for the support. America is less safe. And our enemies are celebrating.

How the hell am I supposed to sleep knowing that Kristi Noem has access to a laser weapon. The fact that it‘s on loan from Pete ‘day-drinking’ Hegseth doesn’t help the situation.

Groups like the Brownstone Institute have been pushing to get mRNA technology banned. The FDA commissioner is an ally of Brownstone. The director of CBER is an ally of Brownstone. The director of CDER is an ally of Brownstone. For those keeping tabs.

College football is out of control.

mRNA vaccines are faster to produce so strains selected to be included in the seasonal vaccine can be chosen closer to the start of flu season. They also don’t rely on eggs which is important if you’re letting a bird flu rip through your country.

You can sue state law enforcement for violating your legal or constitutional rights, but not ICE or Border Patrol agents or any other fed. How to fix it? Add five words to one law. Chris Truax with a convincing case to pass this bill. 1/2 thehill.com/opinion/judi...

We know the names of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But 6 others were killed by ICE or died in their custody this year: Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Víctor Manuel Díaz, Parady La, Luis Beltrán Yáñez–Cruz, and Heber Sánchez Domínguez. They deserve justice.

On MSNow, a legal correspondent brought up the fact that the DOJ is charging Don Lemon with conspiracy under the FACE Act. I hope anti-abortion groups who send their protestors to abortion clinics are paying attention. The pendulum will swing.

Rev Al Sharpton (paraphrase) When you can’t convince them morally, you convince them economically. Blue cities are often the economic engines of red states. Just saying.

I watched Homan interviews both during the campaign and after. I suspect, to him, a “criminal nexus” means just being here without documentation which is a civil offense. Media should really get clarification because I bet the public definition and DHS’s definition are not the same.

Missouri’s Rep Bob Onder signs on to amicus brief in support of Trump’s EO to end birthright citizenship.

Justice for Renee Good.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

They took Liam Ramos’ hat and backpack away from him.

So, is the state of Minnesota ever charge anyone in the murder of Renee Good? Are federal agents immune from state law? The 2nd and 3rd shots were fired after her car cleared the agent. There was no reason for him to fire the kill shot.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Dave Matthews Band just reposted on twitter Dave’s cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It's Worth” with recent images from Minnesota www.instagram.com/reel/DUEOf_y...

Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller are in both in the video set to Dave Matthews and the lyrics of Springsteen’s new song both about MN. Me? I’m going to live my life so my descendants don’t have to explain away my presence in protest songs and videos from back in the day.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Trump’s recalibration follows the same step-back, step-forward playbook used by Orbán, Putin, and every modern strongman… hartmannreport.com/p/the-most-d...

One thing I believe, as a white person, is far too many white people forget the debt that activism in the US owes generally to the Civil Rights movement, and how much the instruments of power that Stephen Miller is trying to extend across the country are those of Jim Crow.

The Holocaust—with every story and event in it—is only useful to us—by us, i mean the entire pop of planet earth—if it is used as a honking and flashing warning post. Otherwise, we are sacralizing the Holocaust to a point that it becomes an inert & sad, but ultimately useless historical event.

Nicolle Wallace interviewed Josh Shapiro today and I agree with him that Minnesota should start charging people in the Trump administration with obstruction of justice for interfering with the investigation into Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s murders.
