Our defiance can and must be loud and public at this point. But the quiet symbol of solidarity on someone’s collar when you walk into a crowded room? Genius.

Ironically, by going on and on about this cognitive test Trump succeeded only in further fueling the speculation that he is in fact in cognitive decline. A person with a strong, working mind doesn't go on long, incoherent tangents about how mentally fit they are.

I taught second and third grade for many years, I taught fourth grade for a few years, and I loved my kids. I also had relationships and rapport with my parents and the community that I taught in. It was a wonderful community full of loving caring people.

“I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.”

“Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).” Bill Corbett

In Memory of MELISSA HORTMAN
Former Minnesota House Speaker
1970 - 2025

Taken far too soon in a targeted attack.

A voice for justice, clean energy, and equality.

We honor her legacy, leadership, and courage.

Remembering is resistance. Melissa and Mark Hortman deserved better than silence. Their murders made me angry, but their lives made me smile.

Antifa is an ideology, not an organization. It was first conceived in pre-World War II Nazi Germany and fascist Italy to oppose fascist governments. It is simply short for the term anti-fascist.

Pam Bondi’s testimony before the Senate Oversight Committee this week was a disgraceful display hyper partisanship, corruption and incompetence. She didn’t answer a single question and refused to give the American answers. She is one of the worst of Trump’s enablers & accountability will come 4 her.
