Steadying the ship…

Being a billionaire is the same psychosis as hoarding. If you replaced the billions of dollars with something else like dolls, or old newspapers, or toilet paper, it is easier to see how sick keeping mass quantities of something to yourself, that you can’t even use it all, is.
I stand with Minnesotans.

Talking about the epstein files doesn’t mean shit.

Releasing them may be a different story.

It’s been on Putin’s To Do List for Trump for a long time and they talk about it every time they speak to each other.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Senator Mark Kelly’s words couldn’t be more important than right now. You don’t have to obey unlawful orders.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

As you already well know by now, it's all lies.

Every single thing anyone in this entire administration says is a lie.

All of it.

Every time.

After lying about this baby they gassed and almost killed in their own neighborhood, DHS deleted their post

ICE agents wearing masks is sort of like an anonymous troll with no profile picture wreaking havoc in a comments section. Life isn’t a comments section and there’s NO reason for anonymity here. “Masks Off” should be liberal slogan repeated over and over.

unlike folks on the right, thats not a word i personally tend to use a lot. but if you vote to fund an occupying military force that executes american citizens i think that is textbook treasonous.

If Insurrection is declared, all you vetsuckers who believed our military was "fighting for freedom" or "defending our country" are going to get to see right here how they act in other countries.

It's proper for citizens to be very disturbed and disheartened when the secret police is abducting people off the street and the president is threatening to shut down elections
