Minnesota is still under attack.
Federal thugs swarmed Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. Witnesses report tear gas used on students and staff. At least two school employees were handcuffed. Video evidence is circulating. DHS is denying it happened 🤬
Schools should be safe havens!

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

I now am left genuinely wondering who would come out looking worse in a scenario in which a Democratic Member of Congress, rather than posing a question to Pam Bondi, just says, "I have no questions for you. Go fuck yourself, dumbass."

I guess the American people are fine with the Attorney General of the U.S. behaving like a nasty 5th grade playground bully on national television? I suppose that explains a lot about how we got to where we are. The fact that someone like this is in a position of such high authority says it all.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I’m seeing enough of this in my mentions today that I, a Black Jew, need to remind everyone that in the 1930s, European Jews were not considered white and that’s why the Nazis slaughtered them and part of why other countries including the United States refused refuge to many of them

Yeah, sure, it’s probably the billionaire thing, but part of me thinks Trump wants to block this bridge in order to prevent Americans from escaping to Canada.

Rita and I are now sitting in a parked car atop Seward Park as far from the maddening noise as possible, blaring Beatles music on the speakers. Please somebody tell us when it’s safe to return.
