Legal observers at the Whipple Federal Building witnessed ICE agents swapping out license plates in the ICE staging location. Masked agents who already routinely refuse to identify themselves are now swapping license plates at whim to kidnap our neighbors and tear apart families.

95% of MN Somalis are US citizens. 58% were born in the US. The only reason to target this community with immigration agents is for the sake of racial profiling and harassment - which the US supreme court says is legal now.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I hope he gets the help he needs. It sounds like he's trying to deflect from the failures that he's had as president ... he's fought to be the head of the pedophile protection party."

I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor.

What I'm hearing is that his attendance at this dinner where people hand him bribes is not an official presidential action, as designated for absolute criminal immunity in Trump v. United States
REPORTER: On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president?

if you lived through the lead up to the iraq war then you know that this is the most delusional thing anyone has ever said
VP lecturing "the Europeans" again:
"...if the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq."
Yes, pity Paris and Berlin were so pro-war...

Universities — including the schools that most aggressively shut down student activism — are now fully panicking because the Trump administration is about to shut down all kinds of funding for research and more. Too bad they made it clear that their students shouldn’t speak up and speak out.

I just want to take a second to note that hero @repilhan.bsky.social is right in front in this photo. Rep. Omar has been subject to so many vicious attacks through the years, and there she is, at the frontlines, defending our democracy...as usual. Thank you Representative.
CSPAN cut the feed after the press conference but the members of Congress and Senators have entered the main lobby where USAID HQ is located. The door is being blocked by law enforcement.

Okay. Go do the exact same gesture to greet others in public. Go to your local synagogue and do it if it's a chill thing to do
don’t shoot me but my contentious view is that it probably wasn’t a Nazi salute - despite obvious similarities - and we shouldn’t claim to *know* that it was one

I like that if you glance sideways at this pic it looks like Kavanaugh is wearing a clown hat
For me, the bottom-line result that the Supreme Court allowed Trump's (meaningless) sentencing to go forward is much less revealing than how hard the conservative justices worked to make clear that they really, really wanted to find a reason to let him off the hook
The Conservative Justices Wanted So, So Badly to Give Donald Trump a Pass
The Court’s 5-4 order rejecting Trump’s request to block his sentencing makes clear that in just about any other circumstances, the conservatives would have given him everything he asked for.
