Minnesota's response is among the most beautiful examples of real-life antifascism I have ever seen. And it’s why, as deeply horrifying as these last few weeks have been, I am actually optimistic about the survival of American democracy. — TNR's Aaron Regunberg.

Here’s Your Damn Playbook, Democrats
Party leaders can’t seem to process that Trump’s policies are in fact staggeringly unpopular. Minneapolis is showing politicians how it’s done.

Makes one wonder about the MAGA cult, crowd, men … call it what you will, but now I’m wondering about them AND Epstein!
It's obvious Trump's name is on the list, Musk even tweeted that it was and then deleted it. We all know it's going to be ugly whenever it's revealed.
The question is, will it change anyone's opinion? Will MAGA turn on him, will this be what makes people leave the cult.
Keep bringing it up!

I recall when 🌮 complained that Obama was always out playing golf and not in White House tending to business! HAH!
tRumps only statement about Juneteenth - we have too many holidays? Says the guy always taking time off from work to golf.
Americans are burnt out from working more than 40+ hours/week, tired, and lack enthusiasm about their job. tRump is out of touch with the American worker - What an a$$hole!
