Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

More than that… it was the right thing to do.
We got here because people are more worried about the next election than doing what’s right.
If you don’t want to lead, maybe don’t run for office?
Those 7 are either cowards or idiots and need to be held accountable.

Okay. Computer programmers, help me out. MS CEO claims AI is a “cognitive amplifier.” But what AI does is scrape and average. How does flooding the system with averages do anything but amplify a general consensus view? To me, a “cognitive amplifier” should spark NEW ideas.

Someone just called me a believer in "purity tests" because I think the Democrats who just voted to fund the president's unaccountable masked goon squad deserve to be primaried.
If your definition of "purity" is that basic, you're beyond helping

I think our biggest mistake was in desiring to spare our offspring the misery of our youth. Well-intentioned as it was, it has been a horrible mistake. My paternal ancestors were Volgadeutsche. My mother grew up in Nazi Germany.

Connections were drawn through almost 120 years of family history, a “through line” discovered and examined. And never again will any of my family “spare someone” discomfort by being silent about our past, by not bearing witness.

w/ respect, you're over-simplifying. You "cancel the midterms" by redistricting, voter intimidation, & giving a green light to state legislatures -- all of which he and R govs are already doing.
If they win a handful more seats than they would in a fair election, that's effectively cancellation.

He doesn't need to actually cancel the elections in order to effectively cancel the elections. This is how competitive Authoritarianism works.

Figures. The chronically inept always claim credit for the achievements of others. Doubly bad, as they are using these transfers to pad the ratio of criminals to innocent abductions.
Homeland Security insists that ICE operations are targeting criminals. MPR News examined the agency's "worst of the worst" lists and found most of the people there had been immediately transferred to ICE custody at the end of time served in Minnesota prisons. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Some criminals ICE takes credit for arresting were already in Minnesota prisons
Several of the 13 “worst of the worst” criminals that the Department of Homeland Security said were arrested in Minnesota through its immigration enforcement operation were actually handed over to ICE...

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

We will have elections in 2026--even Putin has elections to give him the charade of legitimacy. The question is how will Trump try to rig election in advance, how will he cheat in vote counting and how will he try to prevent Democrats who win from being sworn in to Congress?! That must be the focus!

What happened to Silverio Villegas González
Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.
