The Minnesota Wild fans are watching their state be forcibly occupied by this tyrant while another NHL team kisses his traitorous backside. This is disgusting.

At this point, every single person of conscience should be refusing Trump in every way. These are not normal times, but people go to the WH and stand there and clap like trained seals for the man wrecking the world. We as a society lack courage and conviction. Period.

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

"Un-American" has been a loaded word for several generations. I don't care. This is flat-out un-American. Shameful.

Exclusive: US gets first $500 million Venezuelan oil deal, holding some proceeds in Qatar The details shared with Semafor mark an initial milestone in the administration’s plan following the ouster of Nicolás Maduro.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

I'm not sure this is a "document," and I don't know what museums are in the digital age, or what they will be in ages to come. Still, I want to say: This ought to be in the Smithsonian.

3 Prosecutors Quit After Push to Investigate ICE Shooting Victim’s Widow

These are absolutely monstrous people

"Mr. Thompson’s resignation came after senior DOJ officials pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of the widow of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent"

Six Prosecutors Quit Over Push to Investigate ICE Shooting Victim’s Widow

Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

Jennifer Erin Valent on Kristi Noem getting her head handed to her by Jake Tapper today:
"When practiced, unabashed liars like Noem even struggle to come up with answers and just rehash bogus, canned talking points, you know just how egregious is the offense they’re struggling to defend."

Screenshot of a post by Jennifer Erin Valent on X saying, “That’s quite a split screen,” quoting a post by Aaron Rupar. Below is a Fox News broadcast split-screen image. On the left, a Fox News anchor appears in a studio next to Congressman Tom Emmer, who is speaking remotely. On the right side of the screen, blurred video footage labeled Caracas, Venezuela shows nighttime scenes with bright flashes and smoke. A banner at the bottom reads “Breaking News” and states that Venezuelan leader Maduro is in U.S. custody, with Fox News branding and program graphics visible.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery.

If you are, like me, feeling overwhelmed by trying to speak truth in a world full of very loud liars, I encourage you to keep going. Each of us can make a difference in our corner of the world, and even if we can’t see the results, there’s One who does. Keep shining your light!

Took a walk in my neighborhood today and thought what it would be like to see something like this. To see my neighbors harassed. To see heavily armed masked men going door to door. My gosh, what is wrong with you who condone this? They are destroying our nation.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.

But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

Jerome Powell Won’t Be Intimidated. The Institution He Leads Might Not Be So Lucky. The Federal Reserve has been served with a grand jury subpoena tied to Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony. Powell says he will not be intimidated—but with his term nearing its end.

Subpoenaing the Fed chair in the middle of a political fight over interest rates is not normal. It’s intimidation. Jerome Powell says he won’t bend—but this sets a dangerous precedent for the independence that keeps inflation in check.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota and Twin Cities sue federal government to stop ICE enforcement surge after fatal shooting in Minneapolis.

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?”
-Donald Trump

Anybody still think he was joking? When you jumped on that Trump train did you really think it would one day lead to you defending murder?

Because you’re there.

Jerome Powell is not "performative." He's not a media personality. Not a TikTok-er. He's out of step with this age. That's one reason his statement was so powerful. It came from a plain, decent public servant. It was clearly honest. Could there possibly be a market for this?

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Just saw this. Thanks for letting me know!

I'm afraid many are failing to recognize a resurgence of racial prejudice and injustice. As we're a visual/entertainment oriented society, I'm going to ask you to watch movies that depict the atmosphere of those times so you can recognize shades of the past in our present. 🧵

@nicollewallace.bsky.social showed this Homeland Security X post (photo 1) on her show, and it rang a bell for me. Sure enough, it's disturbingly similar to a flier distributed by the KKK (photo 2). A government agency in 2025 is resembling the KKK. Let that sink in.

The Wall Street Journal had a piece last night that the Judicial Conference of the United States — the policy making body for the federal judiciary — is discussing whether the Judiciary should have its own armed security force rather than rely on the U.S. Marshals for federal judges’ protection.

We praise Thee, O God, for Thy Spirit of Light
who has shown us our Savior and scattered our night.

Revive us again; fill each heart with Thy love.
May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.

Hallelujah! Thine the glory! Revive us again.

-William Mackay

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine and ten thousand beside.

All I have needed thy hand hast provided;
Great is thy faithfulness,
Lord unto me.
-T. Chisholm
