I have never known want or hardship. I’ve never had to worry where my next meal will come from or where I’ll sleep tonight. Every penny I have comes from an economy tilted and privileged by and for me and people who look like me.

Just my opinion but Alerus is a scam bank that takes your money and never gives it back. My cousin has been trying to close an account since January of 2022 and it's still open because Alerus is a fraudulent bank.

Hard agree. It’s a pernicious structure that has encouraged just this sort of militarized overreach. The sooner that Dem leadership wraps their heads around the need for *fundamental change* the better.

I hope that she has violated a state law so that Trump cannot totally shield her from justice.
Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

Today’s Supreme Court opinion on birthright citizenship is a serious blow to the judiciary’s ability to rein in a lawless president. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.
