Just off a call with an important reminder: We like to look at the history of Germany to explain our current situation. We need to thoroughly look at our OWN history. That's how we got here!

I don't know how anyone can deny or downplay the rise in antisemitic violence when 15 people are murdered + dozens more wounded in a terrorist attack that targeted the Jewish community on the first night of Hanukkah. To deny the rise in violent antisemitism is to be entirely untethered from reality.

ICE stormed a residence hall at Augsburg University, detained an undergrad, and aimed rifles at students and staff before admitting they had no warrant to be there. This is state violence. This is terror. And this is what Trump’s America unleashes on our communities.

1. Notice that the FBI’s Glasheen gets *very* uncomfortable when Congressman Thompson asks him some basic questions about “Antifa.” They can’t define it.

He claims Antifa is the biggest domestic terrorist threat, but that’s inconsistent with the FBI just now “building out” its analysis.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing

BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Shoveled out the ice berm from the snowplow at the end of the driveway, the corner, and the fireplug. I feel like I need a peace prize. And a pizza.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

Just some facts to share. About 80 percent of Minnesota Somalis voted for Biden/Harris. That is less than previous elections, but still a vast majority.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.

The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Mubashir is an American citizen who has lived in Minneapolis nearly his entire life. Yesterday, he was tackled, handcuffed, and taken into federal custody while walking in his own neighborhood. The reason? He’s Somali.

BREAKING: Democrat Eric Gisler has won the GA HD-121 special election, Decision Desk HQ projects, flipping the seat from red to blue

Georgia Democrats won statewide energy commission races in a landslide last month and it looks like they might flip a Trump +12 district in the Georgia State House now.

Georgia was one of Kamala’s strongest swing states even in a red year in 2024 and imo something is definitely happening there.
Back in GA HD-121, Eric Gisler has taken the lead with 74% reporting...

Insurance only works if the high risk are mixed in with a whole lot of low risk...car insurance, home insurance, medical insurance....all of it. High risk pools make absolutely no sense, esp because so many people get cancer and other expensive illnesses.

Sen. Warner: "How you can suddenly say you're going to release videos of a boat and our strike action but you're not going to release the video when the survivors are identified before the strike takes place, in my mind doesn't pass any kind of smell test."

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.
