Robert Altman was a powerful man, but above all, he was the most decent man I have ever known. Everyone who met him can attest.
“It was a privilege to know him” is oft repeated.
Today marks our 42nd anniversary. I love you always, Robert. Our family has never been the same without you, my love.

Minnesota Lt. Gov. and US Senate Candidate @peggyflanagan.bsky.social is demanding that Trump end his invasion of her state.
She joined me in Minneapolis to explain how she and @governorwalz.mn.gov are responding and why Trump picked the wrong state to try to occupy.

Quick search for the biggest ever settlement payout by the US government comes up with Cobell v. Salazar in which 3.4 billion was divided among hundreds of thousands Native Americans for mismanagement of trust accounts. But I’m sure Trump was 3 times as harmed.
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

This isn't about immigration policy; it's about the militarization of our public spaces. ICE turning our blocks into patrol zones makes everyone feel like a suspect, not a citizen. #ICEoffOurStreets

The Smithsonian’s reputation as the “nation’s attic” belies its unique ability to shape the national narrative, Lily Meyer argues:

Its museums, more than any others, shape the nation’s narrative. No wonder the country argues about it.

It is literally impossible to dox federal workers for the same reason it's not doxxing when McDonalds management asks workers to wear name tags
Every single person in the United States government works for us. We are management and we need to know who our employees are

Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."

Not feeling that TACO-surrender-pivot vibe. Maybe Senate Democrats should include ICE and CBP exiting Minnesota (and everywhere else that doesn't want them) as one of their conditions to pass the DHS funding bill.

"Major figures in right-wing media have made clear that they see Pretti’s death as justified, and their reasoning consistently abuts the idea that Pretti wasn’t just acting illegally but against the interests of his group. In other words, Pretti is a race traitor."
After Alex Pretti’s Murder, It’s Clear That MAGA Media Views White Liberals as Race Traitors
MAGA is committed to the belief that the people ICE is pursuing are inherently bad and that therefore opposing ICE is standing with criminals and rapists against the American people.
