More Dems need to think about skating to where the puck will be not where it is.

All indications are Trump's brain has turned to mush and no one around him will even try to control his worst impulses.

He will just get way crazier and more evil and unpopular by November.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

The Trump Regime quietly tried to strong arm Canada, to power the Broligarch's AI dream of unlimited energy and freedom cities. Mark Carney jus keeps saying "No."

What's the difference between most of us and Donald Trump?

When someone screams "pedophile protector," most of us know it's not directed at us.

For all those who have been calling for a General Strike.

How we support a localized/ state-wide General Strike to succeed, is an important muscle building exercise for a larger General Strike.
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

The people of MN give me far more hope than the largely feckless “opposition” leaders of our country or the deeply compromised and ineffectual media both-sidesing white nationalist totalitarianism.

If you are a Dem that cannot commit to abolishing the goddamn American Gestapo, you are not on the side of the people, you are on the side of the billionaire pedophile sex trafficking ring currently rounding up our neighbors.

On the occasion of #HebrewLanguageDay, a shoutout to all those who speak and appreciate the language. Take a word like "Tov" (good), for example, which can be found in the Bible (Genesis 1:4) but also in modern-day graffiti (below: "Most people are good")

When Democratic Senators repeatedly vote to confirm Trump’s Cabinet picks, they are telling you that they do not care about our democracy or their constituents.

They are on the side of the wealthy corporations & the pedophiles who are destroying our country.

Vote accordingly.
The Trump administration just conducted an illegal attack on Venezuela and has spoken about attacking Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, and Denmark.

These Democrats just voted to confirm Trump's nominee for Assistant Secretary of Defense:

Fetterman
Gallego
Kaine
King
Reed
Rosen
