Not sure who needs to hear this but your “physical” isn’t “annual” if you need it twice in six months.

Attorney General Keith Ellison @ag.state.mn.us · 1d

The indictment of Tish James and the indictment of James Comey — both completely unsupported by any actual fact — along with Trump’s raft of unconstitutional executive orders and the deliberate humiliation of top military leaders all have one thing in common: they’re hallmarks of fascism.

They do realize who is sending troops into US cities and disappearing people, right? He’s no man of peace. He’s a piece of shit 34x convicted felon whose “best friend” for 10 years was a convicted sex trafficker. I feel like I’m going to lose my mind…

Indicting political opponents & critics because they are political opponents & critics is terrifying.

It's completely inconsistent with the rule of law & democracy.

It should scare everyone - and (hopefully) will get people to realize that we all need to stand against this.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Although “One Battle After Another” is not about ICE; I found myself screaming at the soldiers/police on the screen in an otherwise empty theater yesterday morning. PTA could have just followed around those the president has dispatched around the US. Powerful performances all around. Go see it.

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump Want War

They are ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe and ignoring the on-the-ground facts to justify their dangerous invasions
