The National Park Service will offer free admission to U.S. residents on President Trump’s birthday next year but is eliminating the benefit for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth.

Dear White House Press Corps: when he insults one of you - ALL walk out, defend each other. Learn from the law firms that stuck together
“You’re the most obnoxious reporter in the whole place. A terrible reporter.”

Trump again attacks a Black female reporter, ABC’s Rachel Scott, for asking about releasing the full boat strike video - which he said he would do 5 days ago

And the other journalists stay silent🐔

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Thank you to the first responders who subdued the suspect that shot two National Guard members earlier today. It’s an awful thing for a family to learn a loved one was shot while receiving mixed reports of their well being.

I stand with my former colleague, Rep. Hodan Hassan, and all of my Somali colleagues, neighbors, constituents and friends.

The hateful attacks and ugly divisiveness, as well as the scapegoating and fear-mongering of our immigrant communities, must stop.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

To all the volunteers and donors, THANK YOU!

Your 3,886 lbs of nonperishables and $542 donated at Saturday's "Do Better, Emmer" protest broke a record!

Stepping up to help your neighbors is what makes Minnesota and our communities so great.

It's a great time to donate to your local food shelf!

Despite the fact that we have billions of federal $$$ in a contingency account, Trump and the GOP-led Congress will cut off SNAP benefits on 10/31/25.

Many Minnesotans (children included) will need nutritional assistance. #Donate #CD6 #48B

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
