Black History is American History.

Republican extremists want to whitewash our struggle, our journey and our substantial contributions to the nation.

We will never let that happen.

scenes from occupied Mpls: "Federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot & began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children & neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families"

The rule of law may yet prevail on Trump’s defilement of the people’s house.

If his East Wing project stalls out, that will serve as a potent metaphor for his presidency.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

1) Doesn’t say he was wielding it, just that he had it.
2) Doesn’t match the video anyway.
3) DHS has lied in exactly this way after shooting someone before.

The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes. We must flood Senate Democrats’ offices with calls and force them to use their leverage to rein in ICE.

The fact they’re arresting people who are assembling peacefully instead of the federal agent who just executed one of their residents is pathetic. Up to this point I have been pretty careful not to get to this point rhetorically but we’re over the edge, there’s a burden of responsibility.
State police declared an unlawful assembly here on 26 st and said they will arrest everyone. In response the protesters moved closer. Riot vehicle is here

Minnesotans are Americas heroes.
There's a whole lotta victim blaming going on this morning. That's really sad to see. This is not Minnesota's fault, and I'm just going to start blocking people who say it is.

As Americans, we must act. Apologising to our allies and neighbors is not enough. Look at your local organisations and see what you can do to peacefully resist in any way you can. Action counts.

Important advice. We may all soon face the same kinds of hard choices Minnesotans are facing now.
It really doesn't matter *what* the threat is; deep, relationship-based organizing is ALWAYS how you effectively push back against those who would attack your community.

Community and workplace relationship-building is NEVER a waste, it is trust-rooted, and there are no shortcuts.

Look for the democratic wins. They are often under the radar but they are important and they are many.
1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.

This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.

If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026.
