Today JD Vance, who voted to cut $800,000 from public safety funding for MN, had the gall to show his face for a photo op in MPLS after children were killed in a mass shooting. Neighbors made sure his motorcade saw that MN doesn’t want him here. Protect kids, not guns. #GTFO #gunviolenceprevention
We need to start naming the republicans: Emmer, Stauber, Finstad snd Fischbach in Minnesota.
Our hearts are with the families of those killed and injured in today’s shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School. We all want to live in a world where this does not and cannot happen and we will continue working until all people are safe and free from violence.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying.” Thoughts and prayers won’t stop gunmen with assault weapons or keep our kids safe. Banning assault weapons will.
Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
ICE is holding Kilmar Ábrego García and refusing to answer questions from his lawyers—while the Trump Admin continues to spread lies about his case. Instead of spewing unproven allegations on social media, they need to put up or shut up IN COURT. Mr. Ábrego García must be allowed to defend himself.
Trump serves billionaires while working families pay the price.
That’s great. Fight with us!
Are there any CEO’s with integrity willing to fight fascism?
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
I hope you’re fighting for the Smithsonian Museums. Or this history will be erased.
Many will drop their health insurance.
Schumer won’t fight. He’ll cave like always.
Great first day at the MN State Fair talking with neighbors from across the state about the GOP Big Brutal Bill and how it hurts Minnesotans. We even got hugs! See ya tomorrow! indivisibletwincities.org/thatsnotfair #thatsnotfair #mnstatefair
Glad you’re meeting constituents at the fair. Now show us you’re listening and stop capitulating.
The GOP governors of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee have all sent their states' National Guard troops to assist Trump's occupation of DC. All four of those states have cities with crime rates higher than DC. This was never about "fighting crime."
Hey, India, we agree! The orange fascist's lies about diplomacy are so obviously farcical that it proves over and over that the White House team has zero shame or grasp on reality. youtu.be/lnEwzgtMMJI?...
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
“Trump deploys national guard to D.C. to guard the Epstein files”
That’s what I’ve been asking.
What are you and the Democrats going to do?
Same for ours.
And one in Minnesota
Also, we demand an explanation of why you voted to withhold funding as punishment for police in blue states? What the hell are you doing?
What are you going to do to stop the refurbishing of the Qatar jet? No federal dollars should be spent on it.
What’s congress going to do to stop this of at least make it difficult ?
Did I mention that "Trump announces new 15% sales tax on US consumers”? Tell a friend!
RFK Jr. is about to fire 16 health experts. We could lose vital screening tests as a result.
Trump’s FCC chair stooge says @cbsnews @60minutes will now have a “bias monitor that reports directly to Trump”🤔 as a condition of the Paramount/Skydance merger Honestly why even bother at that point? Don’t we have enough regime propaganda networks already?
Hey @cbsnews.com way to kowtow to the fascists. You know which show has kept millions from despair? The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. This is an #epicfail www.politico.com/news/2025/07...
Makes me wonder what sentence the assassin in Minnesota will get
Only in a white man’s world would a woman who gave birth in a covered wagon look refreshed
I wish our democrat reps would post something about her vote.
MN Rep Michelle Fischbach is complicit in the Epstein debacle. So much for MN GOP “family values.” Gross. 202-225-2165 #epstein
Wow. More than a century after the fight I chronicled in Right to Ride, when Black passengers challenged segregation on trains and boycotted segregated streetcars, Black passengers are now being told to move to the back of the bus? And threatened with arrest if they don't? #StudyingSegregation
ICE is using Fort Snelling to stage for their raids and are picking up people who are going to their immigration hearings at the Whipple building. Join this rally and press conference on Monday, July 14 at 12:30pm. #immigration
Same here
Oops- it is chaos.
I asked him as well as our democratic reps to address this letter. I’m so angry that it was written when what is needed is support to fight the fires.
It’s not. Could you also address the letter the four Minnesota republicans sent complaining about wildfire smoke crossing the border and ruining summer fun? Canada needs our support to fight the fires not their BS.
Messages left with my Democrat representative and our Governor asking them to respond to this letter.
Dear Canada, we’re so embarrassed by the climate warming denialists MN GOP Reps. Emmer, Finstad, Stauber and Fischbach, whose dumb letter to you demonstrates how their willful ignorance hurts all of us. Signed, your MN Neighbors : www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...
A gentle reminder that the VA getting rid of 30,000 people instead of 80,000 people isn’t a win.
Hey! Are you in one of the many outstate MN counties UCare is dropping due to Trump’s Big Ugly Bill? You can thank the GOP Reps Emmer, Fischbach, Finstad and Stauber for killing your Medicaid and health insurance. Who you vote for matters. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
This is from The Guardian. Forget Cancun or anything else the man is known for and nail Ted Cruz to this for the rest of his life. He did this LAST WEEK.
ACTION ALERT IN MN CDs 1, 6, 7, 8: Push BACK on MN GOP House Members who voted for the BIG UGLY BILL. Rallies being held Wednesday, July 9 at 12:30pm in Emmer, Fishbach, Stauber and Finstad districts! SPREAD THE WORD. www.facebook.com/events/72847...
Congressman Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District has deleted this tweet.
So we know it’s going to pass let’s bookmark this and remember in November
Trump's budget gives ICE $100 billion to terrorize communities, rip families apart, and lock people in cages. ICE will be the largest police force in the country and have a bigger budget than many other countries' entire military. All for Donald Trump's and Stephen Miller's deportation agenda.
While I don’t want any of this to happen, I did ask my senators & rep to offer an amendment to start all the cuts with the new fiscal year—10/1/2025–if it’s so great why wait? Oh yeah, so Dems get blamed for all of it.
MN GOP REPS Brad Finstad (CD 1) 202-225-2472 Tom Emmer (CD 6) 202-225-2331 Michelle Fischbach (CD 7) 202-225-2165 Pete Stauber (CD 8) 202-225-6211
JUST NOW: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social held a press conference with Councilwoman zulfat Suara and others about his new “STOP AMERICAN GESTAPO ACT” to ban masked unidentified *agents* from grabbing people off the streets. (Multiple instances of impersonators have been documented)
That’s a great point. Does anyone know of a group keeping all of the posts, tweets, media etc.?
Put forth an amendment so all of this ugliness starts with the new fiscal year—10/1/2025. If it’s so great why wait until after the 2026 election?
Not a surprise. I contacted you about this last week.
Go Senator Warren. Maybe it should be read twice so everyone really understands it.
Do everything you can to slow this down — amendment after amendment after amendment.
The best way to root out fraud, waste, and abuse is to pass 12 appropriations bills. Congress must get back to funding the government as intended to ensure that your tax dollars are well-spent.
Worth remembering: Though Medicare is the primary health insurance provider for senior adults, it’s Medicaid that pays for nursing home coverage and other long-term care.
No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.
Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.
A question every reporter should be asking Trump and Republicans: If Trump doesn't trust his own Director of National Intelligence, and by extension, US intelligence, then which country's intelligence is he relying upon?
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
Do not vote for this bill. You need to fight for us.
You need to get rid of the provision that sells off our public lands. Time to stand up and fight!
Israel's Prime Minister may think no one will notice what he's doing in Gaza while he bombs Iran. People face starvation. 55,000 killed. Aid workers and doctors turned away at the border. Shooting at innocent people desperate for food. The world sees you, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Are you fighting for public broadcasting? Public TV and radio
Keep fighting and pushing back- vote no on big awful bills, speak up about NO wars, don’t let our public lands be sold off
Access to bathroom facilities?
Watch the full interview with @smith.senate.gov and subscribe to support independent media:
What are you doing about Sen. Mike Lee? We’re way past civility.
A joint statement is a farce. The GOP is responsible for the assassinations and attempted assassinations. You need to assure that all available resources are being used to find him- who’s harboring/ assisting him, etc.
As we grieve the assassinations of House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the wounding of State Sen John Hoffman & his wife, we will continue to stand up for democracy and not bow down to any king. We will not give in to intimidation. We will stand up for our community & our country. 2/2
Amid this day of horrific political violence, we are grateful that 80,000 Minnesotans chose to come to our State Capitol, gathering together in peace. 1/2
The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible
Hey, hey, Alabama!
We showed up in massive numbers. No Kings!
This is heartbreaking. (via someone at the St. Paul rally)
Thank you @governorwalz.mn.gov for showing up on Saturday. Let’s make this turnout the most ever! Let our voices send a clear message to the treasonous administration @indivistwincities.bsky.social #nokings #resist #stopfascism
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.
Should??? Don’t you mean must and will?
Absolutely!!
Oh, Canada.
Most likely they wanted Vought to begin with-project 2025 author and implementer
The GOP broke the law to deport this man—then decided to indict him. Court order? Ignored. Due process? Tossed. Now they want credit for “law and order”? Chile, please. Y’all did the process completely backwards. This is Trump’s America: lawless, reckless, and cruel.
Don’t praise Muskrat for what he said about the big awful bill like some dems are doing. He’s evil and only cares about himself
"Using migrants’ compliance with the immigration system as a means of rounding them up has led to an outcry...Dylan had entered the U.S. lawfully, enrolled in public school, had employment authorization, and had no criminal record at the time of his detainment." www.thebulwark.com/p/dear-democ...
Exactly!
Heidy Sánchez was ripped from her baby’s arms and deported. No criminal record. Just a mother, wife, and aspiring nurse. Now she’s alone in Cuba, while her infant daughter cries for her in Florida. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump
Andry Hernandez Romero — a gay asylum seeker, makeup artist, and survivor of political violence — trusted the U.S. asylum system. But, he was deported to a mega-prison in El Salvador. No trial. No hearing. No justice. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump
Mahmoud Khalil was never charged with a crime. But Trump’s ICE locked him up 1,000 miles from his wife and newborn son. This is not America. This is not justice. #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump
ICE arrested Elsy Noemi Berrios without cause or due process, damaging her car and traumatizing her family in the process. America cannot be a country where this is considered acceptable. Call Congress to demand due process: 202-224-3121 #DisappearedInAmerica #AbductedByTrump
"The key to lasting peace is clear: Putin must get nothing that justifies his aggression. Any rewards shows him that war pays off. If Putin decides who joins NATO or where NATO's infrastructure can't or can be, his appetite for war will only grow," Zelensky.
