Donald Trump’s vile language about Minnesota’s Somali community greenlights harassment and abuse.
We Minnesotans are having none of it: we know our Somali neighbors are part and parcel of the fabric of our communities and we stand with them against Trump’s racist threats.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

It would be pretty cool if we all collectively pledged to support indie bookshops whenever/however we could 💕
Depending on budget & accessibility, that could look like visiting them in person, leaving a review, amplifying their social posts, giving gift cards, divesting from mega retailers, etc.

The administration plans to attack public festivities in Chicago around Mexican Independence Day (which may include this weekend's parade in Pilsen or related activities) because they want to attack folks in settings where people will try to protect and hold onto community members.

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.
1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.
This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
