Keep watching - Trump and his circle almost have their precious goal: invoking the Insurrection Act.

As per said before: a great deal of what is being done is simply Trump and his circle working backwards from this objective.

The single biggest thing (in cost terms) I’ve changed my mind about is UK tuition fees. Dreadful system, need to scrap it.
This is clearly depressing and radicalising in a way a tax wouldn't have been.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

📌URGENT: Trump's regime is trying to turn Stars & Stripes into state-run media.
I was the ME of S&S.

It's MANDATED BY CONGRESS to be an editorially independent paper that reports ON the troops FOR the troops.

So I type this with precision: The draft-dodging, America-attacking slob can KISS MY ASS.
Pentagon says it will ‘refocus’ Stars and Stripes content
The Pentagon suggested it would take over editorial decision making for Stars and Stripes, which has long retained independence under a congressional mandate.

This is an incredible episode, @socialistdogmom.bsky.social.

If you’re not already a fan, Molly is weaving the unbelievably complex history of far right organizing in the U.S. Here she crafts a powerful and poignant memorial to Renee Good.

You simply must listen. I cried so many times.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Incredibly, no-one on Nigel Farage’s team has got round to deleting this post. It’s still live as Robert Jenrick gives his big defection speech.

The problems with the UK RW Media summed up in today:

- growth higher than expected
- more starts to building houses in the 14 years
- NHS waiting times dropping fast
- London declared the safest city pretty much in the Western world

But we’re talking about a bent politician defecting to Reform.

Every republican needs to be asked how this keeps our communities safe. Explain it to us. Show their work.

And then they need to be called on their bullshit.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

How on earth is bully, national security risk, and all around nasty bastard, Priti Patel, still involved in UK politics at any level, let alone as shadow home secretary?

🧵As I'm prepping my class meeting on Native American genocide (example: Sand Creek Massacre), it strikes me that the sheer moral heroism of US Army Captain Silas S. Soule is particularly relevant in our current times.

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.
