Milwaukee Bucks Coach Doc Rivers had some powerful words regarding the murder committed by ICE in Minneapolis, the terrorizing of our minority communities across the country, and Trump's abhorrent behavior 👇

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.

Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

Time to stop writing articles about the "security" or "economic" reasons to capture Greenland, they are irrelevant
Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:

When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.

The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

It looks like Democrats in Virginia swept Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General. If they keep the House of Delegates it clears the way for them to redistrict. And the victories were by a larger margin than predicted.

Hey MAGA: Still supporting Trump & the GOP despite getting laid off and standing in a food bank line?

'Uncharted territory': Ongoing shutdown threatens food aid for 42 million people
SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Two-thirds of National Park Service employees have been furloughed during the ongoing government shutdown, worsening an already severe staffing shortage. With limited personnel remaining, essential maintenance, law enforcement, and visitor services are significantly reduced.

What a pathetic lie, JD. Nobody’s arguing for benefits for people who are undocumented.

But now that we’ve cleared that up, are you saying you WILL support continued ACA health care tax credits for millions of U.S. CITIZENS?

That’s what we’re fighting for!

Watch Jacinda Ardern’s interview with Jon Stewart and Kamala Harris’s interview with Rachel Maddow to reset your brain after listening to Trump drone for an hour. If the contrast doesn’t shake you to the core you must be MAGA. An example of how real people speak. This is what normal is.

Yes, exactly. A key reason Newsom is breaking through is that he's proceeding as if there's real urgency, because...there is!
It wasn’t just the aggressiveness of the pushback that made it effective; it was also the immediacy. There was no time for focus groups, no time for consultants to diminish or second-guess the messaging the way they did with Governor Tim Walz’s viral “weird …

Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever.

Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.”

See where this is going?
