This is where I scream into the void. Urbanization, bicyclist, environmentalist. Fighting liberal. Everyone deserves to exist without oppression or the denial of their humanity. The US Supreme Court is corrupt. Trump is a traitor. He/Him.
Another Trump lie. Republicans have been lying about their plan ever since Obama came up with one.
No legislative text.
No timeline for congressional action.
No new ideas to expand health coverage.
No ways to simplify the system.
No replacement for the ACA.

Trump’s “plan” is built on Potemkin promises, again.
It’s a travesty that headlines don’t reflect it.

What we are seeing now, at home and abroad, is his attempt to inflict as much pain as possible in those areas where he has close to total freedom of action: immigration enforcement and foreign policy. But even there, there are limits — practical, operational and logistical constraints. (7/?)

Here is the first information we have about the nature of Renee Good’s injuries. It’s absurd and inexcusable that federal law enforcement authorities still are apparently refusing to investigate this police use of force resulting in death.

This from The New York Times:

Republicans: the party that takes away healthcare. The death and bankruptcy party.
President Trump has proclaimed that Republicans should be known as the health care party heading into this year’s midterm elections, even as his administration has struggled to produce a comprehensive health care agenda.
Trump bets on rural health as a winning midterm message
The president is promoting a $50 billion fund, designed to help communities where hospitals are struggling, amid criticism of his deep Medicaid cuts.

So to be clear we have actually reached the point where NATO states are deploying tripwire forces to deter *another NATO state* from invading *another NATO state.*

I struggle to communicate the strategic and just regular insanity of this moment.
Sweden is over Trump's nonsense about Greenland and is sending in troops.

SWEDEN, PEOPLE.

Republicans lie about everything, especially when they murder citizens.
Renee Good did not run over Jonathan Ross.

ICE, who’ve been violating people’s rights and terrorizing communities, murdered her because they knew they’d get away with it.

The administration that has been lying about everything, is also lying about this.

One of the reasons it is really important to push back hard on the investigations against people telling the military not to follow illegal orders is because when he invokes the Insurrection Act he is presumably going to be ordering the military to do illegal things and we want people to speak out.

That pig Hoekstra...
Hey orange mobster. Who do you think buys US vehicles en masse? Canada does. Nobody else does because they are trash. Anyway, we’re going to boycott since you and that pig Hoekstra keep claiming you don’t need Canada which is laughable on its face.

Putun has been attacking there US since before he helped elect Trump the first time. Now, we have an enemy of the United States as President, and Putin is still attacking us.
If you haven’t caught on, Putin is attacking us from within.

january 6th was a mob of people attacking a single, lightly defended location in order to stop a centralized process of vote counting. for a midterm election, the comparable thing would be about 150,000 january 6ths across the entire united states.
Did everyone somehow forget what January 6th was
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

Trump is stealing oil from Venezuela and stashing the proceeds in an offshore account. Trump is a common crook.

To think that all of these resources could have been used in an actual war in Europe like the one between Russia and Ukraine. In stead, it’s used to hold an american president at bay so that he doesn’t destroys the NATO alliance.
French President Macron hints at the possible air defense system that Greenland may be provided: ''The SAMP/T next generation is a largely French and European system, the best in the world. It is more effective than the [US] Patriot system.''

In Minneapolis, we are under ICE occupation & another community member was shot last night. As elected leaders we must make sure our immigrant neighbors can stay inside & be safe.

We passed a unanimous resolution to call on Gov. Walz to do an eviction moratorium.

Dang, excellent!
At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
