Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)
Sharing not so much for winning the award but for what he said in acceptance, particularly about despair: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQuv...

Around May and June, the noisy insects will erupt from the ground and live only for a few weeks — just long enough to find mates and lay eggs — before dying. Get a rough estimate of where different broods will appear across the US.

This isn’t hard. Everyone gets due process. EVERYONE GETS DUE PROCESS. Everyone. Gets. Due. Process.
Kristi Noem on Abrego Garcia's wife: "Is she still scared? So many people and victims I've worked with over the years, they say one thing in public because they have to to survive or to protect their children. So I wouldn't say that what she's saying today is how she really feels."
For all the shit he flings around, I try to avoid raising an alarm frivolously. But this is one of those times where we'd better start being very alarmed b/c "home-growns" is just a step removed from labeling someone, anyone, "sympathizer" & throwing them in a pit, or much worse. It gets big laughs!
Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

"The 2024 election wasn’t a restaurant where you could order cheaper eggs but politely ask for the server to hold the fascism. You’re still getting the fascism, and your eggs aren’t just overpriced now, they’re broken and rotten." -- @playtyperguy.com

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.
Billions of dollars in clean energy projects have been canceled since Donald Trump took office again — leaving thousands of jobs and the shift to clean energy in doubt.

Working with an interdisciplinary team, we have developed a website to communicate how the White House's proposed cuts to health research would cause losses of $16B and 68,500 jobs. Find out how your community may be impacted. Explore more at SCIMaP: scienceimpacts.org a 🧵
But if no one actually complains, would it really be fraud? A 94 yr old mother-in-law certainly won't. (Lutnick's First Law)
🚨 Big SCOOP 🚨 Tax revenue could fall by as much as **10%** this year, per sources, as taxpayers and businesses see the Trump admin as less likely to challenge tax cheats. That'd be **$500 BILLION** in lost revenue. It'd nearly double the tax gap in a single year.
Now DEI OTOH they'll abandon and question even when the numbers are clearly positive.
“.. Asked how much the stock market would need to decline for them to speak out collectively, 44% said it would have to fall 20%. Another 22% said stocks would have to fall 30% before they would take a stand.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/ceo...
Maybe take it up with some of your colleagues, @chrislhayes.bsky.social . I see plenty of them just going along with anything Trump an co. say with little or no pushback. Kinda helps to challenge this stuff at the source.
I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?
I would like to know what my Senate representatives, @fetterman.senate.gov, @davemccormick.bsky.social have to say about a fellow senator, veteran and former astronaut being accused of treason...for visiting an ally of the USA.
Senator Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat, visited Ukraine over the weekend and said the U.S. could not give up on the people there as they fight Russia. Elon Musk responded on X, calling Kelly "a traitor."
@fetterman.senate.gov, @davemccormick.bsky.social ELI5, How is Zelensky 'gambling with World War 3'? Last I checked, Ukraine doesn't even have nukes. Signed, a concerned citizen of PA. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Consider donations to orgs like Come Back Alive or United24, as opposed to or in addition to rage posting about Trump's/Vance's despicable behavior. He can have his tv ratings, let Ukraine have whatever dollars you can spare. savelife.in.ua/en/ u24.gov.ua
