Rockin' my #SistersInLaw shirt today! My absolute favorite 91-year old came to stand with me on the front lines; this was her first protest. Normally we play scrabble, today we played chess. #NoKings Palm Springs was filled with allies and an undeniable mandate.

This outrageous Supreme Court decision is another reminder that the courts won’t save us. Today’s ruling from the MAGA SCOTUS is all the more reason why Democrats in Congress must fight like hell to block Trump’s policies from being enacted and gum up the works as much as possible.
Trump says supreme court limiting judges’ powers is ‘monumental victory’ as liberal justices dissent – live
Sonia Sotomayor says decision is an ‘open invitation … to bypass the constitution’; joined by Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson

While Utah’s based senator posts baseless propaganda about the deadly attack on Minnesota politicians, a tragic update from Salt Lake City about the shooting during yesterday’s large demonstration in his state: the bystander/marcher shot during apparent efforts to prevent an attack has died.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.

She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

I was in downtown #losangeles at the beginning of this week. The streets had a way different feel from what’s been on my screens. No signs of insurrection just love and peace. For more check out this full post open.substack.com/pub/baratund...

LA: Your voice matters.

Trump is trying to provoke chaos by sending 4,000 soldiers onto American soil.

Foolish agitators who take advantage of Trump’s chaos will be held accountable.

Stay safe. Stay calm. Look out for one another.

Hegseth's subservience is a tremendous liability for the safety of the entire country. Yet he's also so transparently an embarrassment that he will complicate any effort to draw servicemembers willingly into the administration's overreach.
