Yet they are literally telling everyone who lives in a “blue” area whom they can love, what they can do with their bodies, whom they can worship, and whether they have any right to existence at all. Go to hell, rednecks.

As expected. We will all pay with our health, if not our lives. The elderly, sick and poor will pay the biggest price of all. Just ask Flint, MI.

These British classics are fine ales. I just wish I could find them in the U. S.—especially on cask. I see Old Speckled Hen and Old Bombardier now and then.

Bannon wants to surround polling places with ICE. That’s a neo-Nazi fever dream. Sure Trump has a lot of goons—but not that many goons. Time to sit in a comfy chair and think of the color green.

We just passed $3 million raised, powered by 57,000+ grassroots donors with an average gift of $31.

This campaign is built by people, not the ultra rich or special interests like AIPAC.

You decide who Congress answers to.

Slingshot News: Mike Johnson dishonors the country, says anyone trying to stop ICE's lawlessness is "impeding the will of the American people."

Um no, it's upholding our Constitutional rights.

This is something I hope we can all agree on. This technology scares me a lot more than nuclear war.

Count on it. If the Democrats win, some of Trump’s favorite sycophants are looking at the real possibility of prison time, so they have about 9 months to pull up democracy by its roots.

Therein lies the problem. ICE is terrorizing Los Angeles, and local police are choosing not to enforce the law banning masked federal agents.

This is how trust collapses.

Every other industrialized nation has pensions, free health care, free education, extensive social services … all without having militarized police pointing guns in your faces and daring you to make their day. The U.S. is the wet dream of the super-rich and the nightmare of anyone who has to work.
Far-right Americans want you to believe that having nice things is impossible, and that serving billionaires is the only thing you can do.

This is a lie. The rest of the world has solved many problems Republicans pretend are impossible.
Motherhood costs Danish women an average of $120,000 in earnings over two decades, according to a sociologist who researches family and economics. Generous government benefits like paid leave, childcare and child allowances recovered about $100,000 of that loss. buff.ly/pAtuCS0

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.
