As I write in new post 👇it's time for free state Govs/AGs/Dem Congressional leaders to rally for the people of Minnesota as Europe rallied for Denmark.
We must come together to act & speak with one, unified voice. The assault on Minnesota must end. Now. 1/

The House needs to hear a roar of disapproval from the American people today.
Everyone should call/contact their Reps regardless of party. Use your voice. Be loud. Encourage others to join you. If you have a Republican Rep you MUST call, and fight 👇

Every day it seems less and less likely that we will have COVID19 vaccines available for all in the U.S., and flu shots are at risk as well.
These contrarians really do not care at all who they kill.

Because you cannot actually see this trailer for the TV show based on @marthawells' MURDERBOT too many times, and I was at the vet with the cats when it dropped.
(They're all fine, just rabies jabs and annuals.)

I did not agree with everything Joy Reid said on her program. But I did appreciate her thoughtful and in-depth approach to the news, and do not support her firing in this manner. Isn't it odd that 5 people of color are being fired at the "woke" station?
A bus bombing has just occurred in central Israel in a suspected terrorist attack.
To enact a terrorist attack on the same day they return the coffins of our murdered; it's so despicable I don't know how it wasn't obvious Hamas would do this.
IL Gov JB Pritzker is sounding the 🚨 alarm
Pritzker is stepping up
to fill a Dem leadership
void as the Trump-Musk regime carries out its coup attempt

Please read Prtizker's entire thread
It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.
(a teenager is tapping away at the nuclear missile controls)
Soldier: Is he allowed to do that? He has no clearance
General: Absolutely. That’s “Big Balls” from DOGE. They vouched for him
Big Balls: (walking through door) Hey sorry I’m late. Who the hell is that?
To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.
Trump blaming last night's tragic crash on "DEI" isn't just racist nonsense.
It’s part of his divide and conquer strategy.
He wants to get us so riled up against one another that we don’t look upward and see where all the power and wealth have gone.
Why are people still trying to burn synagogues now that there is a ceasefire in Gaza?
Could it be that this has nothing to do with Israel and Palestine, but everything to do with antisemitism?
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.

Why did Israel enter Lebanon?
Because of this.
In every house in southern Lebanon, soldiers are discovering vast amounts of weapons, ammunition, equipment, and tunnels.
