Minnesota is turning out. Target stores packed with people Trump never expected—older white liberals, calm, organized, immovable. No chaos, no fear. Just deliberate bodies applying steady pressure. Protect them. This is disciplined, defiant resistance.

There is a similar outrage in the UK, Poland, and even in Czechia about Trump's throwaway comment that NATO allies "stayed a little back, a little off the front lines” in Afghanistan
Trump's gratuitous smear of Danish soldiers who fell in service to America have the entire nation in a state of outrage, continuing now for many days. American media ignore this.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE.

Reminder that of all the people complicit in Epstein's crimes, the only person actually held accountable and sentenced was a woman. No men involved have yet to face consequences.
