Pediatrician and mom. Have seen kids die of vaccine-preventable diseases. Also here to fight for my immigrant patients and against fascist authoritarians. "Never again" is NOW.
Two Harbors, MN, pop. 3400. This guy in his bathrobe, later heard chatting with his neighbors about gardening, was clearly Antifa. Or a paid protestor. Probably both. @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @atrupar.com @maddow.msnbc.com @sengelweb.bsky.social @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

An estimated 80,000 people came to the capitol in St. Paul today, despite being told not to come. And a big thank you to @keithellison.bsky.social for leading the march and speaking today, when everyone told him not to. I was there for all of it and I am in awe of my fellow citizens.
Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

I took care of an immigrant kid who had had measles as a baby in her home country and then developed SSPE years later. She died a horrific death despite everything that modern American medicine could provide. People aren't scared enough of measles.
Fact: Years after a measles outbreak, some people may develop a rare brain infection called SSPE. It is almost always fatal.

If you go looking, you can find many new stories about it. But for the most part, it's a quiet harm most people never even hear about.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.
NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means.

They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.

He is today's 'banality of evil' in the flesh. Eichmann, meet Lil' Marco.
Marco Rubio will probably go down in history as the biggest monster of this entire period.
Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.

The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

CALL TINA SMITH. @smith.senate.gov You aren’t running for reelection! Hold the line and do the right thing! Unbelievable that you would even consider voting for this. Giving him the power to do even MORE damage to MN is unforgivable.
🚨 We need you to call your Democratic senator ASAP if their name is on this list.

Tell your senator you will have their back if they do the right thing and vote NO on the extreme MAGA spending bill that would give Trump more power to dismantle the federal government: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Vote no on cloture.

Vote no on the CR.

Thanks and keep fighting, Betty!
A full-year CR is an absurd proposal.

I will vote NO on Republicans’ irresponsible government funding bill today.

And not just self-serving speeches or sound bites from politicians. Do some actually PR and marketing.

It’s not a smear campaign to show people what is happening to their friends, neighbors and services and to show the corruption and ineptitude.

MAKE PEOPLE LOOK. DON’T LET THEM TURN AWAY.

This bruising is most likely the result of a recent IV. That's weird, considering that he's the "healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency"🫠 Good eye, @atrupar.com!

This letter is incredible. Support Marc and his org Democracy Docket if you can.
I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. My English name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan (אֶלְחָנָן)—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.
My Open Letter to Elon Musk
From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

Bravo and thank you, Senator Smith!! Keep it up!
Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

We know it’s tempting to give into cynicism or despair right now. So let us tell you what keeps us going: We are in daily communication with Members of Congress and senior staff who want to see a unified opposition as well. They are fighting on the inside to build that opposition. 🧵

The Musk/Trump regime is apparently fine with hurting people overseas and right here at home.

Call your Senators and Reps folks. Ask them how the Musk/Trump administration can unilaterally cut a Congressionally authorized agency.
MN is proud to help feed the world (in fact, this program was created by Hubert Humphrey). Now not only is that in jeopardy, but millions of dollars in income for farmers is too? Disgusting.

This food, which we’ve already paid for, is waiting on ships to be delivered to those who need it.
Shuttering of USAID could mean the end of millions in income for Midwest farm operations
Frozen by Elon Musk’s DOGE personnel, the USAID program purchased $70 million in commodities in 2024 from Minnesota vendors.
