I like sports, music, movies, history and most of all, laughter. Big fan of Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes and Booker T. & the MGs. Favorite movie is Airplane.
I support democracy.

To my fellow Democrats, call him a fascist. He IS a fascist. Don’t be afraid to say that. He’s using our Justice Department to go after his political enemies. He’s detaining & disappearing people without due process. And now he’s arresting journalists. He’s a fascist. Call him that. Don’t be afraid.

Mark your calendars. If you thought the one *before* Minneapolis was big, just wait.
The date for the next No Kings Day is set.
But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

Spoke with an old friend, a diehard GOPer. She isn't sure what to make of Trump (which is moving in the right direction) & still hates Dems. Said "Nazi" should only be about WWII & the Holocaust.
Interesting that she rejects using that word for the Trump admin. Isn't that convenient?
I disagree!

We need the media to be held to some sort of accountability, too. I don't know what that looks like but right-wing media has been complicit all along.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Another ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Another person has died. There is a video.
From the Minneapolis Star Tribune: "ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but [Minneapolis police chief Brian] O’Hara refused, sources said."
JD Vance recently said they need to work with ICE.

I agree 100%. Garland took no action until the J6 committee made a criminal reference. Smith should have been brought on as a special prosecutor YEARS earlier.
Jack Smith testifying will be satisfying on one level, but primarily it will be deeply frustrating. Trump should have been prosecuted for J6, should not be President. I think this is mostly on Merrick Garland, who will go down in history for his failure.

How can anyone feel good about this behavior? Truly despicable.

I honestly think Trump just wants to kill as many of those who disagree with him as he can, and I think a lot of his supporters want the same.

This is what I have been saying recently. Having "ICE agent" on your resume will be an automatic disqualifier and these goons will be pariahs in their communities.

Been thinking along the same lines. In addition, being an ICE agent won't look good on a resume even if you were a good moral one. You will be guilty by association. You will become a pariah in your community.
Whether in 2026 or 2028, there will be a reckoning. Even if Trump gave a mass pardon (he would have to use an autopen to pardon 21K agents) there would still be civil action open to the folks who were harmed. 🗽

Wow!
New Hampshire led in 1774, with the capture of Fort William and Mary.
We may see it lead again.

For those of us not in the cult, this is what we hear when anyone from the Trump administration speaks.
For the people in the back, this is satire and so well done…

Tim Walz is running for a 3rd term and the fraud stories are really hurting his chances. The MN GOP has admitted helping Nick Shirley.
This story has been dominating the local news for a long time.
Walz is in trouble. The GOP & Trump won't let the story go away.

Serious question: last week, Jack Smith testified to a congressional committee behind closed doors.
Since Jack Smith is a private citizen, not an elected official, is there anything that prevents him from holding a press conference to discuss his testimony?
