Thinking of the Minneapolis school shooting victims today. What makes this even harder to take is knowing that we do not have to live this way. It's a policy choice. As long as politicians in DC & Columbus prioritize the gun lobby over people – these horrific events will continue.
The founder and intelligent people know what well+regulated means but we have a right wing NRA funded agenda supreme Court that decided its unnecessary to do the regulation. They don't serve the country, they don't protect people. Crazy people should not be allowed to possess guns of any sort.

FUCK ME DO NOT DESCRIBE TRUMP'S PLANS IN THE HEADLINES WITHOUT NOTING THEY ARE ILLEGAL.
While touring INNIO Waukesha Gas Engine, I heard about how the President’s on-again, off-again tariffs are impacting their business, their workers, and their customers. Wisconsin small businesses deserve a fair shot to succeed, not chaos.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
For folks not in DC: - There are full-on police checkpoints most nights - Gangs of 30+ federal agents roam DC - National Guard folks w/ guns patrolling a Harris Teeter - Every day, multiple friends see ICE kidnapping ppl - Daycares are scared to have kids go on walks due to ICE
"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense
Let's not lose sight of the fact that these guys are the real problem. Trump couldn't do anything without their support.
I would like to mention that Hegseth told the National Guard to arm themselves. On American soil. Against fellow Americans.
Trump’s America is starting to look a lot like Mao’s China.

Cry harder dude. You got kicked out of the speakership. Whereas California has grown to be the 4th largest economy in the world under the leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom. Oh, and Bed, Bath and Beyond was run so badly nationwide that the company declared bankruptcy in 2023.
Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.
Would have been nice in 4 years for the insurrectionist to be jailed and prosecuted. If leading a riot in the Capitol in the Capital is not sufficient to bring him to answer to justice what the heck is?

Don't let him decide. State's rights. Peoples rights
Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave. They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

I work with Ukrainians. The USA made a promise with the Budapest Memorandum. Even if your pin lapelled buddies don't remember history, they still should uphold it's promises. Rubio's new amnesia and caving into his boss is disgusting.

Ask him any math questions. A basic math question. I don't think he will answer a straight number, without rambling and name-calling through a muck of manure.
This is just deeply depressing: women who spoke up during #MeToo often found their lives upended, as powerful men used defamation suits to target them, e.g. Roy Moore is still suing many of his accusers. What Happened to the Women of #MeToo? www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I would have use the word, "rightfully," instead of, "tragically."
Where we’re sending our kids, this will all seem positively chilly.
If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.
Without a serious policy agenda from Dems to roll back Patriot act and further freedom transgressions it won't stop until we basically get NKVD here.
This math problem should be on the SATs…
They have moved on from simply hiding and deleting data. Now they are changing it.
The sharpie man is really not that sharp.
Annual policy update review at work: from business processes, ethics, fraud bribery, technology use, drugs in the workplace. Are there any of these that the mad tyrant president has not violated, if not weekly?
Republicans: “Not every wage is designed to be a livable wage.” In other words, not everyone deserves to live. Vote for democrats.
Also a cohesive plan would be great. Reversing the police state setup in the Patriot act. More investment in infrastructure, education, research and development, less expenditures on military where we don't use it, restoration of history, culture and the arts, restoring women's rights, M4A, and UBI.
🚨 31 people killed in Kyiv last night - including 5 children. The youngest was just 2 years old. russia targeted civilian areas again. 159 people were injured. 16 of them - kids. Search and rescue operations are now complete.

Did you know Corey Hart is teaching a class on solar phenomena online? Some students mistakenly thought the course was scheduled during the day. But he swears his sun class is at night.
1/ So why is @gavinnewsom.bsky.social working so hard to block rooftop solar, even on schools? @hencarnell.bsky.social dives in: www.motherjones.com/politics/202... (pairs with the @billmckibben.bsky.social piece on issue writ large below)
Do not normalize this. This is fascism.
"I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag." Molly Ivins
To fight the Trump administration's war on solar, we have to get rid of dumb permitting requirements for putting panels on your roof and balcony. Australia and the EU have done this--time for our mayors and state legislatures to follow www.motherjones.com/environment/...

The tired, repeated, "laws are for thee not me."
the one thing i genuinely did not anticipate from this administration was its vicious, know nothing hostility to any and everything that might even be adjacent to science and scientific research. they genuinely one to destroy the entirety of the nation’s research capacity. and for what, exactly?
Why does it take these radio shock jocks to cause concern. Shouldn't people who should be doing their jobs, under oath to the constitution be getting business done? Why are we waiting for another "noble" for challenge their honor. Let's return to democracy where every one has the power.
So, as I suspected, the police response to the shootings of Democratic elected officials in Minnesota was actually a complete disaster www.startribune.com/new-details-...

As a veteran, this makes me sick. Our Coast Guard making an arrest in the territorial waters of Canada is beyond the pale. They endangered this man’s life then gave him to Border Patrol. They have no business detaining any Canadian citizen in Canadian waters.
Canadian man locked up in ICE detention—after U.S. Coast Guard capsizes his boat in Canadian waters. He fell into the lake & was drowning—begging officers "Throw me a buoy!" Then handcuffed, processed & turned over to Border Patrol—locked up in jail cell while still soaked with just dirty blanket.
Epstein client list provided by Ghislaine Maxwell to the Department of Justice.
Smells like fresh sharpie!
Not unless Tibby Devan from Kollok 1991 is there.
🧵 To begin with, it completely baffles me that they didn't follow the money. Usually, the trail of money points the way. Thousands of transactions totaling billions, and apparently, no one bothered to find out who was paying Epstein and why they were paying him millions.
Police spying, RFK assassination, money laundering. youtu.be/LzrGCk-F7FY?...
The Trump administration deserves no credit for just barely averting a crisis they themselves set in motion. You don’t thank a burglar for returning your cash after you’ve spent a month figuring out if you’d have to sell your house to make up the difference.
Notice how it’s always, “our laws must be inspired by the Bible!” until it comes to the +2,000 passages in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.
Why you posting from that site?
Also, he’s talking about wrestle mania while people are dying in his concentration camps.
Once again, Trump lied about a trade deal. This time with Japan. We cannot trust a word he says about anything.
Yesterday, President Trump issued an executive order that directs states to commit unhoused people, while cutting programs focused on housing and harm reduction. Instead of care, this executive order proposes a cage. Read our full statement here: senatedfl.mn/legislators-...
Remember and honor the victims and trace the money laundering. It should be easy for FBI with all the Patriot act investments.
In 1938, Hitler launched “Work-Shy Reich” a program to remove the homeless, beggars & mentally ill from the streets & forcibly institutionalize them. Today, Donald Trump launched “ENDING CRIME AND DISORDER ON AMERICA’S STREETS”—which is the same thing. 🚨 www.mind-war.com/p/taking-akt...
America: where someone suffering from homelessness or schizophrenia gets thrown in prison, but someone who openly molests children is elected president

This is what we need from our leaders. Bravery. Isaiah put his body on the line to call out Greg Abbott and Donald Trump’s illegal power grab. Dragged to the ground in our state capitol for demanding fair maps. That’s courage. We stand with @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social Keep your eye on this.
It's going to be in the sexual predator files but also in the money laundering. Adding up more felony charges but when will he be incarcerated?

NEWS --> Sen Ron Wyden writes to Pam Bondi, urging DOJ to probe $1.5 billion in Epstein financial transactions that banks flagged for Treasury Dept. He lays out roadmap for DOJ to examine money flow related to sex trafficking. Challenges Bondi in new way. Read here: newrepublic.com/article/1982...
There are so many levels from sex trafficking to the money laundering in the Epstein accounts that should be investigated by the people in the government who honor their paths to the people and the constitution. Media keeps putting Trump first, but he is under the people and the Constitution.
