I write about alienation, belief, and the quiet ways people survive despair.

This is torture. If you’ve ever been confined in a room that’s way over capacity for more than a couple minutes, you’ll understand, this is torture.

Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:

Relief from your own country’s paramilitary occupying your major cities.
Minnesota’s economy runs on the strength of our small businesses.

I’m proposing $10 million in direct relief to help businesses impacted by Operation Metro Surge stabilize, protect jobs, and get back on solid footing.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

This episode has been a nightmare for my city and state, but I hope people realize it’s also a profound defeat and political catastrophe for Trump and DHS, who are slinking away having accomplished nothing. Minneapolis simply wouldn’t bend to them and they lost
Homan in Minnesota: "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue."

No better feeling than writing yourself out of a corner. For like a week I could not figure out how to transition to the next scene and I finally broke the code. Almost makes all the self-flagellation worth it lol.

This absolute farce is what happens when people who are utterly incompetent and who have no business running for office get elected by a very slim margin because half of the country thinks their vote doesn't matter.

Every. Vote. Matters.

There's no excuse to skip voting this year.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Trying to understand: the Constitution gives Congress the power to impose tariffs. The President imposes tariffs without Congress. Congress passes a law rescinding his tariffs. The President then vetos that law. Seems like something’s wrong here.
