Imagine looking back at this time in a year, two years, ten years, and realizing that when fascists murdered moms and kidnapped five year olds and blinded people, you did...

Don't let that be you.
Look around. See what your neighbors need.

stop falling for moral panics everyone. it's always bad
Attempts throughout history to limit kids' access to jazz music, comic books, and movies deemed "harmful" have violated the First Amendment and failed to actually protect children.
Now, Congress and state legislatures are running the same playbook to restrict social media access.

Is it @startribune.com policy to refer to anyone confronting ICE as a protester? This obscures the nature of what people are doing. We're not protesting ICE. We're constitutional observers documenting human rights abuses by agents of the state.

The Fourth Amendment explicitly prohibits this. This is illegal search and seizure. You have to show probable cause, and you need a judge's warrant. That's the whole point.

there are two ways to interpret Trump's remarks today:
1. he is making a mafia threat and still seriously wants to invade Greenland
2. he's being a petulant baby because he was told no and he's going "well it totally would have worked if I did it, okay"
gotta hope for "petulant baby"

UNCHECKED WHITE SUPREMACY.
Europeans losing their shit about Trump. Everybody is starting to understand how bad this is. But we're still trying to blame random people instead of agreeing to face the real problem. Unchecked white supremacy.
Over 35% of people didn't bother to vote. They were happy to see Trump win.
Of the 64% that bothered, half voted Trump. They were happy to see him win.
So pretty much 70% of Americans were happy to see Trump win. That's the vast majority.
Uncomfortable facts are no less factual.
