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"

Stephen Miller's views are archaic, alarming, and loathsome. They must be roundly denounced and effectively opposed.

Closing NCAR because it produces "climate alarmism" is like closing the fire department because it produces "fire alarmism"

Last March 25 masked ICE agents abducted Tufts grad student Rümeysa Öztürk less than 1 mi. from my home. @bostonglobe.com's podcast gave me chills & brought tears for Öztürk, her family & friends & our country.

I was honored to be arrested and charged with "disturbing the peace" with three others seeking to deliver food, clothing & toiletries to detainees at Burlington MA ICE HQ.

ICE is rarely held accountable for violently disturbing the peace of every community it enters.

Trump and Hegseth have been committing murder on the high seas. They must be held accountable. The Medina family and all others devastated by these lawless #boatkillings deserve justice.

With all the problems facing our country, Congress shouldn't have time to delist wolves from US safeguards. It should focus on REAL issues like jobs, health & climate. Wolves support healthy ecosystems and local tourism. #NoHR845 #ProtectEndangeredSpecies @pressley.house.gov app.sosha.ai/s/z6P9zEkM

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

Alarming but not suprising.

On twelve markers of authoritarianism and "democractic erosion" identified by scholars, Donald Trump is . . . 12 for 12.

A picture really is worth a thousand words, isn't it? POTUS was taking a wrecking ball to democracy, but now he's literally tearing down the White House. May it disgust enough voters that we throw out his enablers and sycophants in '26 and '28. #DefendDemocracy #RebuildTheWhiteHouse #EastWing

This is extrajudicial murder. It is illegal and unethical. And it is a pathetic use of American military force, demonstrating not strength but weakness.
