Trump holds no cards when it comes to China. America can’t fight two wars at once. America is running out of ammo.

So Texas, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, and Tennessee can redraw districts without a referendum and that stands, but when Virginia lets voters decide directly at the ballot box, it gets overturned?

On May 6th, the Oklahoma House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 504 that effectively bans child marriage in the state. It passed 51–36 and now heads to Governor Kevin Stitt’s desk. All 36 "no" votes came exclusively from Republican lawmakers. They are exactly who we think they are.

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party. This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Uncle Jeffy Tiedrich says today in his newsletter: "Here’s one sure way you can tell you’re living in a shithole country: when the following two headlines appear one after another."

According to Kristi Noem, when you name-call government officials like this, you are encouraging other people to assassinate them—and that is treason.

Protesters are in the streets of Milan protesting ICE in their city! It’s unanimous: everybody hates ICE. #ICEout #FuckICE #ProudBlue #Italy #Olympics

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.

To Gregory Bovino: This is what brandishing a firearm at a protest looks like.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

In a civilised society the military would turn on their despotic leader and remove him from power. They would defend the constitution and protect the people. The American people are not safe. The constitution is under attack. Remove him.

Yes.

It's time for a truly massive general strike. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-enough

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

Bravo my Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov The murders of Renee Good & Alex Pretti show Trump's DHS culture is ROTTEN TO THE CORE Trump, Vance, Miller, Bond, Holman & Bovino have made #ICEGestapo feel immune from consequences Everyone MUST be held accountable www.instagram.com/reel/DT6p6q-...

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

If you’re looking to understand who Alex Pretti was, look no further than this video where he honors a veteran who has passed away. He was not a domestic terrorist. He was a good man and a hero. (video pulled on X)

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.

ICE murdered another person today.

🇺🇸 Temperatures in the upper-midwest were well below zero today, but the people in Minnesota braved the frigid cold, and showed up to fight for ALL OF US. 🇺🇸 I hear a lot of people saying we aren't doing enough to fight Trump's fascism. Well, go tell that to the patriots in Minnesota. (NYT photo)

LEAK THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES NOW.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

HAS HUMANITY LEARNED NOTHING

Secret police. People disappearing. No due process. Knocking down doors. Racially profiling American citizens. History has a name for this: authoritarianism.

Imagine what a tiny little man you would have to be to feel threatened by a dancing fox.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏
