@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

Kristi Noem is a psychopath. We know that. But someone please tell me WHY these people require 10 men with high-powered rifles to enter a home with children? Did this man murder someone? No. Did he launch an insurrection? No. Then why is this necessary. It's grotesque. It's all grotesque.

MAGA losing its fucking mind because Walmart heiress Christy Walton took out this full page ad in NY Times promoting #NoKings anti-Trump protests

The same MAGA leaders backing Trump's use of the National Guard & Marines in LA refuse to put up a bronze plaque honoring the brave men and women who defended the Capitol on J6 against the violent insurrectionists seeking to overthrow an election and execute the VP & Speaker

We've got the perfect birthday gift for Donald Trump: A nationwide day of defiance. We're proud to partner with groups across the country on the No Kings national day of action. We will see you in the streets on June 14. app.sosha.ai/s/jJVYR0Rt

– GOP outspent Dems 7:1 on immigration in 2024, pushing “criminal” narrative – Dems played on GOP message turf – Trump just blew it up, admitting they’re deporting “good workers” Their “invasion” lie is collapsing. Dems have a strong narrative opening. Listen to Greg’s podcast. ⬇️

It’s clear that we’re in a dangerous time. @governorwalz.mn.gov's warning:

Just left a 6 hour detention hearing for Kilmar Abrego Garcia in Nashville, the man illegally sent to an El Salvador prison by the Trump administration. This case is about weaponizing the legal system to distract from their violation of his Due Process rights. Utterly shameful.

We can protect Social Security for the rest of the century and expand benefits if we make the richest among us pay their fair share. It’s time to #ScrapTheCap.

Social Security "is extremely superior to its private sector counterparts. It's portable from job to job. It's extremely secure." – Social Security Works President, Nancy Altman

SCHEDULE FOR TRUMP MILITARY PARADE: 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. - losers 10 a.m. to noon - suckers

Will LE, National Guard, and Marines protect us from this?

Housing in Maryland is too expensive for too many people. That’s why we’re removing unnecessary zoning barriers, strengthening renter’s rights, and increasing the ways we can use potential funds to build affordable housing that's near where people want to live.

#NoKingsDay #June14th

My statement on protests happening across the State of Maryland this weekend:

@replamonica.bsky.social Is fighting false charges, but she's really standing up for all of us. We know they are targeting her because she's a Black Congresswoman and believes in accountability. As usual, Homan and his henchmen/women can't keep their stories straight. We all need to support her.

These are the absolute least serious dipshits to ever try to run an authoritarian regime, but the good news is they respond to pressure.

Corey Lewandowski and Kristi Noem are married -- not to each other They had an extra marital affair with one another He was with Noem when they had Senator Alex Padilla dragged out of her press conference and handcuffed A DHS secretary having an extra marital affair is a national security risk

Happy Pride month. To my friends in the community, my pages across social media, my books and movies, my magazine, and my podcasts are safe places for you. May one day the entire planet be safe for you. 🏳️‍🌈🌈

Did you know crypto now accounts for most of Trump's networth? This is what happens when a sitting president scams Americans with meme coins and runs a crypto empire that can rake in cash thanks to his policies.

5M Expected at Tomorrow's Protests #ABlueView🧵1/3 This is more hope than prediction but it's plausible given: * "April’s 'Hands Off' protests drew at least 3.5M participants" * "More than 200 new No Kings events have emerged since the LA protests began" tinyurl.com/4fjc34ca

I implore every Democratic voter to stop falling prey to fancy, eloquent speeches made by people who have voted FOR and are STILL VOTING FOR the very things that got us here and are making it harder to save our democracy. I beg you. The saying "talk is cheap" is as true as it gets.

The marines detain a citizen. Just like Newsom and democrats warned. And OF COURSE he’s Black (or Afro Latino) Folk thinking they can opt out got another thought coming because Hegseth and Trump are specifically targeting Black and Latino folk.

Now he wants a do-over. But Iran will never trust the US again.

I hate his smug little smile when he lies & he knows he’s lying & he knows we know he’s lying but he doesn’t care. Special place for in hell for “Christians” who base their entire lives. identities & careers on knowingly bearing false witness.

Pretty sure we can kiss the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics goodbye as well, understandably so.

Trump’s ICE Raids Begin to Empty Factories, Farms & Construction #ABlueView🧵1/2 "Business owners say fear of arrest is driving both undocumented laborers & legal immigrants to stay away from worksites" “Losing the foreign-born workforce would nearly double retail milk prices"

Barack was right about everything.

We all need to figure out which side quest unlocks the REAL reality where Kamala won... I'm fucking exhausted.

First day of summer vacation for Mrs Angry Flower Flower Friday

I’d like to know who among us has been clamoring for driverless cars as an urgent solution to modern American problems. Who besides their investors & CEOs & inventors, that is.

Stephen Miller’s hand in what ICE is doing needs to be called out more. I’d like to see statements from his community organizations calling him out for his part in what is happening. If he were Black we’d be dragging him for filth every day.

@clubbing-guy.bsky.social gather the crew…

Glad this is getting some attention, but several people don’t seem to understand that EVERY ONE of these are Republicans.

How do we stop all this GDdamn lying!!!!

As Trump stages an authoritarian-style military parade to glorify himself, millions of Americans are rising up to reject the billionaire-first, corruption-fueled strongman politics defining his second term. It's time to speak up. Join us tomorrow: www.nokings.org

"We have to be competent at governing.” @governorwalz.mn.gov offers an alternative vision of leading with competency and compassion:

MAGA Republicans do NOT care about you! They are cutting both Medicaid and SNAP to give tax breaks to billionaires, at the expense of rural hospitals. #SaveMedicaidKillTheBill

Fact check: He's not just sounding like an authoritarian—he's acting like one too. Just in case you haven't noticed.

Entirely fucking unacceptable

Good News Friday: A judge just blocked Trump’s anti-voting executive order. The court said it would: – Burden states with substantial costs to revamp voter registration – Block eligible voters from registering That’s two courts now calling it what it is: unlawful.

I think every enlisted person should boycott whatever they are doing wherever they are in the world. That’s “OUR” armed forces, not his. OUR taxes, not his, pay for them. Generals, commanders, and all leadership should be stripped of their command if they support this mess.

Elon folded. The richest man in the world realized if his federal contracts went away, so would most of his wealth & influence. So he came crawling back. Guy with more F-U money than anyone in the world folded to Trump…while heroes like the Capitol Police, Alex Vindman, Gavin Newsome etc did not.

Reminder that Billy Long’s personal campaign debt was paid off by wealthy tax frauds seeking to curry favor. Now, he's in a position to let billionaires and corporations game the system and avoid paying their fair share while forcing working Americans to pick up the tab.

Tim Walz on the importance of speaking out against Trump on EVERY issue: Saying we need to protect the Trans community doesn't weaken the argument that the economy is bad.

This is why you don’t put an active, raging alcoholic with a long history of lack of self-control & inappropriate impulsivity in a vital position of power just because he pinkie promises to stop drinking.

It's absolutely hypocritical for Democrats to continue claiming we have the right to protest and freedom of speech when even simple tools are considered "threats." This is the surveillance society we've warned abt for 25+ years. Now ICE tracking tools are a "threat." www.wired.com/story/no-kin...
