Donald Trump is not legally President. He *is* an insurrectionist, and is fully banned from ANY office under the United States. Swearing in a banned person to an office does NOT fill that office. So, keep hating him. He isn't POTUS, and we owe him nothing.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Anyone realize yet putting the Executive Branch exclusively in charge of law enforcement and the military was a really dumb idea?

Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

Today in Minnesota, I heard powerful testimonies – communities disrupted, businesses and schools closing, U.S. citizens detained, and families traveling with documents out of fear. It’s horrific.
Trump’s cruel deportation machine is expanding nationwide, and it must end.

Donald Trump promised a “Golden Age” for Americans. One year later, it’s clear that this promise was only meant for his billionaire buddies.

This shouldn't require saying, but we highlight polls at a time like this because 1) it's heartening to see the American people rejecting fascism, which inspires more to join; and 2) because Ds are under pressure from certain quarters NOT to engage, so we need to let them know what the people want.
