On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines. I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.

Affordable housing, nutritious food, clean water, time off, the internet, breathable air, universal healthcare, quick and clean mass transit, and living wages are not luxuries. They're the baseline of human rights.
Good gravy (love you God) - please improve the messaging/language. This isn't about "free" - it's about basic, shared values. Health care is a necessity. Childcare is a requirement in this uber capitalist society.
Cringe x 1000 🤦♀️🤦♀️

Micro management at its finest.... I had this level of "authority" as a low level manager in a corporation.

Neumann's Bar in NSP? Wildwood Tavern in Maht, if willing to go further NE.
So much horror and heartbreak here with good people and their dog assassinated by a violent Christian nationalist zealot brainwashed by popular organizations because this family tried to help people of all backgrounds and situations. Yeah, Jesus would be thrilled at all this hatred sweeping nation.
i wrote this in late february. now the wave is really crashing. and it still feels like far too many people are pretending it’s not.
Barbie Noem claims to be a "christian"...time & time again, such a poser!
We had Pete in St. Paul - loved him!! He was pals with our Golden. Loved chatting with him on the porch ❤️
Please take the time to read, listen, and share this today. Share it via Bluesky or where you can. Spread it via word of mouth. THIS is just one small impact this bill would have. The ability for those to receive services and work in the community would be gone. We cant stand for this
WB Historical Society hosted a program about his adventures. So fascinating!
Also holy shit the Mariners Pride Month video is SO good
This SYSTEM is rotten to its core.

The persistent claim is that there are so-called "able-bodied" people on Medicaid, and that this is a mistake (they “should never have been on the program”), or worse, “fraud”. This is a mischaracterization of the goals of the current Medicaid program open.substack.com/pub/timothym...
This tacky piece of shit looks like they found a design team from 1979 and paid them in cocaine.
The headline is deeply misleading. You can’t suspend habeas corpus just “for migrants.” As we’ve seen, ICE will pick *anyone* up. If you have legal status but no right to habeas corpus, you’ll have no ability to challenge your detention or deportation. Suspension for some is suspension for all.

What is certain, however, is that right now, people are scrambling to protect their businesses, their retirements, and their corporate empires. And regardless of what ideology anyone has, when you fuck with people's money, they will fight back /end
Game on! We need another protest ASAP 💗
It's critical for people to be active, getting organized at the state level not just in conventional political ways but also to operate within and buttress their state govts for Trump's coming onslaught talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/get-a...
The admin officials talking about using tariffs to return manufacturing to the US a.) do not know anything about trade, b.) do not understand how tariffs work, c.) do not understand how global supply chains work, d.) do not understand what a modest percentage of overall output, trade or jobs...
Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me
Wonderful writing! So relevant...
Keep sharing this because it is vital to understanding this moment. The timing of his entry into politics after this trip, the one position he’s held firm on (at odds with past presidents of both political parties) and the unraveling of the post-WW II world order. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...
Nope asshole, your child is a PERSON who is very much alive. Living a life that is seemingly much better than yours.
You youngsters wouldn't know this. But: phone people for Soc Sec admin are actually *great.* My wife has been dealing w them before/after death of her mother, at 102. Entirely diff from AI-based, phone-tree-maze, outsourced hell of airline/insurance/warranty phone "support." Informed + competent.
He just blows up shit & shrugs....
"A little disruption" is what Trump calls economic hardship for all Americans outside the 1%. "A little disruption" is code for "it's going to hurt you more than it hurts me." "A little disruption" is a warning that the folks living in the billionaire bubble are going to make your lives miserable.
Do people understand how this system works? Nursing homes close - even if you are private pay. Health care workers across the system, out of jobs. Home & community based services evaporate. Families bear the burden of care. State & county workers out of jobs.
Living out their "religious" values. Disgusting people.
It's a cut above the baseball cap, t-shirt, weird trench coat and frumpy pants get up - all of which, I'm pretty sure, carry the funk of unwashed tech bro.
This is your periodic reminder that if you live in Minnesota you have access (no login required) to the full text of the NYT, WaPo, WSJ, AJC, ChiTrib, LA Times, Star Tribune, and much more all the way back to the 80s. All thanks to eLibrary Minnesota. Libraries rule!
Love it - thx for sharing!! Had no idea
House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care. They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely. This won’t just harm people. This will kill people. They own this.
These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.
Let's get real - there isn't an authentic audit. Fraud is subjective without definition.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Been doing it since 2008, at the urging of a neighbor who wanted younger folks learning the process. Lots of changes over the years but all for the better. Proud of our MN system!
