Trump thought he could intimidate Minnesotans and that we would react with riots. Instead, we showed up with compassion, resilience, and strength.
We showed the country what real resistance looks like.

A hill I will die on. It is extremely rude not to respond to emails in a work context.
It's also rude not to eventually reply to emails or texts in a personal context if they are from someone you know.

It was not "domestic terrorism.” It was state sanctioned violence.
A family will forever live with the pain caused by the admin's reckless and deadly actions.
Abolishing ICE is not enough. They must be held accountable.

I think if anyone’s trying to understand what the big downside is to the USA abandoning the pretext of law and just bullying countries to steal and get what it wants, the historical analogy is the emergence of Imperial Japan.

The Wyoming Supreme Court just ruled to protect abortion rights! They struck down the state's two abortion bans (yes, two).
I'm so thrilled for the people of Wyoming, but also for all of us—because the decision could actually help abortion rights everywhere.

The weak response from Can, EU and UN to Trump's flagrant crimes in Venezuela is striking.
It exposes that much of the world has been cowed.
Most notable exception: the Latin American left.
That is why the Trump Admin has gone to enormous lengths to defeat the left across the continent. 1/3

A global system where ‘the strong do what they can’ leads the populations of countries to react by supporting more extreme leaders for their security but this sadly increases conflict.
The post-WW2 rules based system was intended to counteract this dynamic

There are many, many people still viewing world events like today's through an ideological prism, as if the Trump regime has coherent or principled worldviews.
The sane among us realize Trump could just as easily "capture" the Canadian Prime Minister next month, on a whim.

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.
Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.
