Would be super cool if someone in the UK would push Chris Brown off a cliff while he’s stuck in jail over there.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

My local police department that spent years covering up the police chief accidentally backing her SUV into a woman and small child, injuring the woman, would really like us to help identify who keyed someone's Tesla.

As a Portlander with family living in your district: you do not need to make these types of rhetorical concessions before you make your point. We’re not in high school debate class.
RFK Jr. is not wrong. We are failing to keep our communities healthy. This message resonates with many.
But I have serious concerns about his ability and expertise to lead such a sweeping overhaul of the HHS workforce. We need accountability, not just rhetoric.

Well, UMN has officially been hit. We just got an email from our president that an international grad student was detained yesterday. No further details provided.

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow.
She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

Fuck you.
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

This is why.
This is why.
The hypocrisy of a Minneapolis Mayor quite literally mismanaging, defunding, and dismantling LGBTQIA+ equity (and specifically Trans equity) work under his jurisdiction and then turning around and going to the 19 Bar reopening to posture being an ally to the queer community is so sickening

This reminds me of "Alone in Berlin," one of the best fictional accounts of resistance to the Nazis. Highly recommended if you haven't read it yet.
