The SAVE Act and Trump’s weird EO threat today aren’t serious, they’re creating ways for Trump to save face after the GOP gets their asses kicked this year. It’s not that they lost because their policies are unpopular, the other guys stole it. It’s like blaming lag for being bad at video games.

The media have had 50+ years of Trump lying to them all the time and yet cannot figure out that everything he says is a lie. It might just be that they are on his side.
It’s day 74 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
We know it’s not over yet.
Despite the promise of an end to the surge, what we see on the ground is ICE continuing to abduct our neighbors and terrorize our community.
Stay vigilant, and keep your whistles, phones, and rapid response networks ready.

I parsed through some of the emails in the Epstein files, and it’s very clear that Epstein was a eugenicist weirdo. Something he very much had in common with the billionaire class à la Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Donald Trump. New for @motherjones.com.

A thread about a messed up situation in Mississippi.
It's on how state officials have voided direct democracy thru an absurd excuse, and how they keep refusing to yield that power back to people.
