Hey friends, this guy is keyword searching posts that condemn Trump for the conspiracy video about Melissa Hortman’s assassination. If you posted about it (like I did) and don’t want screen shots of the murderer’s scrawling in your mentions (like I don’t) I’d suggest blocking in advance!

Trump: "I think Cuba is gonna be something we'll end up talking about, because Cuba is a failing nation. It's very similar"

Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

2025 was a traumatic and grief-stricken year. I hope I never experience another one like it. To 2026, may it be better.

Today we hope you will join us in remembering former Senate Majority Leader Kari Dziedzic, who we lost one year ago today. She was known for her tireless work ethic, quick wit, and unyielding kindness. She was driven by service, not the spotlight.
