Took the kids to a pow wow this weekend. They used to make me sad because of everything they've lost, and everything that we've lost. Now it gives me hope. After everything they've gone through, they still have their culture and they're still fighting. Don't stop fighting!

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Trump announced he assassinated a boat full of civilians in the Caribbean that he alleges were drug smugglers (no evidence provided and even so, not a proportionate strike if true). Marco Rubio also used his social media to boast of the war crime.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.
