Hey, all those messages of sympathy and righteous anger and support from people outside Minnesota to those of us here?
We’re getting them. We’re reading them. And thanks.
We’re loud, we’re together, we’re stubborn as hell, and we’re going to win.

May ICE be eliminated, and Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem and all its officers be convicted — soon after the midterms if not before.

There is an area in the ICE detention center in Minneapolis designated specifically for American citizens. Contemplate that for a minute.

This Trump speech — what a provable series of WHOPPER lies. HUGE lies. Get the hook and drag him from the stage. He’s so flagrantly disgusting. Nothing true!

As always, we don’t yet know the identity of the shooter or the motivation for the massacre but we *do* know it involved one of the millions of guns that are drowning this country.

The National Guard shooting in DC is a tragedy, especially when you consider that there’s ZERO reason for them to be there.

I would love for my home state to consider this!
If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water.
Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state.
It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

Endorse.
National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

I appreciated “Unfettered.” It’s a brave call for greater mental health awareness. His critics aren’t terribly nuanced about this, methinks.

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

I’m so glad Charlotte residents are fighting back. ICE, and Trump, must be stopped.
Many communities in Charlotte, North Carolina, were reeling after federal Customs and Border Protection teams descended on the city at the weekend and arrested at least 81 people.

My new phrase to say to Trump from henceforth: “Quiet, Piggy.” He deserves it after saying it to a female reporter, when it applies so much better to him. I want him out of office so bad. To have to shut the fuck up. Yet I’ll be glad if the Piggy is rendered effectively silent after midterms.

Continuing awful behavior by big corps that shit on rank-and-file workers.
Hourly Walgreens employees will reportedly no longer receive paid time off for six major holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas, after the pharmacy giant was acquired by private equity firm Sycamore Partners
Report: Walgreens cuts hourly workers’ pay for 6 major holidays
The hourly employees will only be paid if they work on those holidays.

Here’s a contrary point of view. I too fear that the Senate 8’s agreement, even with the positives they did get, is a loss for us. I wanted us to stick to our guns. But I think it’s grossly unfair to want to dump fighters like Kaine and King as a result. I’m for a Dem youth movement. But … 1/2

I know this isn't getting as much attention as the other races, but so glad that Colorado voted in favor of Prop MM, which increases state income taxes on people earning more than 300K to help give breakfast and lunch to certain public school students, with additional funds going to SNAP.

So many horror stories coming out of ICE.
A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.
This is beyond cruel.

For Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, or anyone else confused: THERE IS NO NETWORK OF ANTIFA! It’s a belief or a movement, NOT AN ORGANIZATION! But I don’t think you’re that confused. You’re just flagrant, unethical liars who will get your due for crimes against the American people.
