A woman is dead in Minneapolis after ICE agents opened fire.
I don’t need to be a use-of-force expert to say this plainly: she did not need to be shot.
And no fair investigation is coming from the same system that wanted this confrontation in the first place.

This is the kind of response I want from the Democrats.
AOC: “ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S. — yet are some of the most well funded, operating with impunity & we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood — I hope this is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The agency must be reined in”

A dictator just launched an illegal war without Congress — that’s what he is if we don’t impeach & remove him from office

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

I do absolutely adore Mister Wilfred.
Do adopt older cats.
They're often left alone in the shelters. They don't understand why their previous people couldn't stay with them. And then they're alone in a place full of noise and other cats.
Yet they make the best pets when you adopt them.

Our broken child care system can learn a lot from New Mexico - the state that is leading the way in guaranteeing free child care for all.
There is no better rate of return than investing in our children.
The rest of the country should follow New Mexico’s lead.

Congressional Republicans know Americans are furious about skyrocketing premiums and the nearly $2,000 Trump tariff tax hitting every family—yet they’re more worried about Trump attacking them than about doing the right thing.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

They are going to target social media platforms too. When they do, censorship will rapidly escalate.
Prepare to inform your followers to move to alternatives (Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Flashes, Skylight Social). Share why you’re leaving and where you’re going.
This will be vital for resistance.
