I love when MAGA posts a map that shows Minnesota being part of Canada. 🇨🇦 Bro, that’s not the flex you think it is. It’s not an insult if it’s aspirational.
Also, good luck keeping WI, IL, & MI if MN gets to go.

Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols?
A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us.
R: Pulling out literal guns?
A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line.
I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.
