Not only do we still have to #resist and #fightthepower of this oligarichal fascists takeover, but we also have to self-monitor right and wrong more than ever as the MAGA House violates our rights & constitution. This admin is not supported by the Constitution—it contradicts it—it has no authority.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

My friends, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is pure eloquence:
“To not protest in this moment would be a dereliction of duty.”
Perfection.
Nothing to add.👇

Minnesota may be known for our lakes, Bob Dylan, and Prince - but our civic engagement runs deeper.
If Donald Trump intended to make an example out of Minnesota, then I am damn proud of that example.

So apparently the first and second amendment are now optional with this shithole admin.
Funny because MAGAts always virtue signal about “don’t tread on me.” Apparently the new motto is comply or die.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stephen Miller is directly responsible for the deaths, violence, and chaos from Trump Administration's lawless, violent rampage across America.
He must be fired and held accountable.

Trump will try to steal the midterms. An administration that executes citizens in the streets and then lies about it will do anything to stay in power. We must plan accordingly.

If you’re angry all the time about things that do not affect you at all (trans people, gay people, kids eating free lunches, services for disabled individuals, etc) it means your life is not fulfilling. Maybe work on that.

A reminder that Liam Ramos, the son of legal residents in Minnesota, is still being held in a Texas prison.

It is so baffling that people who claim to be "followers of Jesus" look at this POS, a federal criminal, convicted rapist, accused pedophile, and white collar criminal who encompaases all the traits and characteristics to validate the guilt of the crimes, and they say, "this is our guy, our savior."
President Donald Trump threatened several pollsters Monday, including the conservative Fox News, over what he declared to be their "fake and fraudulent polling," which he argued should be considered a "criminal offense.

On the year anniversary week of Trump in office for a second time, we seem to have literal death squads patrolling the streets of Democratic-run cities.
But sure it was all Trump Derangement Syndrome when some of us were warning about the impending fascism back in 2024. 🤷🏽♂️😡
