One second that was a flag, the next second that was a flag that belongs in a museum.

Doing something that hopefully I can tell you all about soon, but right now, I just want to earnestly say that this community of people is so wonderful. I am so happy to see the giving that you’re doing, and even beyond the Charity Bowl, so many of you were there for us during the ICE occupation.
Happy 80th birthday to the fab Tim Curry, pictured with Rocky Horror creator, Richard O'Brien as Riff Raff & Patricia Quinn as Magenta. I once interviewed O'Brien who said that Frank n' Furter was a reflection of his own diverse sexuality. For moderns who like absolutes -sometimes there aren't any.
An ICE agent faces felony assault charges for pulling a gun on two victims in Minneapolis.
I’ve got all of the latest details, including how the incident took place & how the local District Attorney is able to prosecute this federal agent.

A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.
I consistently repeat to folks that they do not in fact ever *succeed* on their own. Sometimes the assistance is visible, often it is submerged. None of the USian billionaires *succeeded* on their own. In fact, most of them continue to benefit from your money, labor, etc....
I always heard since the 1990's (as far back as I can personally remember) that we needed to support the wealthy with tax breaks and subsidies b/c they were the 'job creators'.
They've failed in that for long enough to know we don't need their help creating jobs.

THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.
Why. Not how. Why do non-voters vote?
Answer that question first.
House the unhoused, feed the hungry, heal the sick without bankrupting them, employ with dignity the unemployed.
I think voting rates will take care of themselves when people believe in the value of their vote.
Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.
in september last year i was part of a meeting with CM chavez discussing the issues in the disconnect with existing city ordinances around paraphernalia & the current state law in place since mid 2023 legalizing all paraphernalia & even with EVERYTHING ELSE that's been happening, this wasn't ignored
Today is day 127 of the ICE occupation of MN.
ICE is still here. Neighbors are still being abducted.
So we’re here too. Still carrying whistles. Still standing watch in our neighborhoods. Still doing mutual aid.
Still fighting for ICE OUT EVERYWHERE.
Okay, again... this is how TF you write a GD'ed headline!!!
The right and center left have spent decades defunding public goods. Privatization and “public-private” partnerships have left billions of people without safety nets. This message needs to be hammered home daily.
Listening to TFGs speech on 4/1/26. The streamer put a gentle lullaby into the audio mix and it’s doing my fucking head in.
Maybe you should all stop committing crimes, Todd.
There is one thing that should be very clear to everyone everywhere
The symbolism of Donald Trump giving a speech to the nation telling the American people the truth on April Fools Day should not be lost on any of us.
Sitting next to my 9 year old reading right now. I’m gonna put the phone down and read with him.
A former CA GOP Campaign Manager with deep ties to the WH:
“is worse then people realize on the inside, not saying shit other then repeating what i have been saying for weeks....folks are lawyering up and preparing to be dragged into committee hearings after the midterms”
I’m on my way to Minneapolis/St. Paul for No Kings Day 3.0!
Grateful to be heading back to two of the greatest cities that are inspiring us to organize and fight back!
Second these recommendations.
They want you focused on wars abroad while they destroy communities at home.
Billions for bombs. Nothing for healthcare. Nothing for housing. Nothing for you.
March 28. We SHOW UP! WE TAKE A STAND! LFG!

Screenshot of a tweet by Furkan Gözükara criticizing the cost and rationale of the Iran war, claiming billions are being spent daily to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The image shows a U.S. senator speaking on the Senate floor with hands gesturing.
That’s the amazing Chris Murphy of Connecticut. A true leader and an important voice in the fight to save our democracy.
Please share widely!
Hi America,
The best time to remove your president was quite a long time ago.
However, the good news is that the next best time is NOW.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Holy shit, every single aspect of this story is so tremendously infuriating. How many of these kids are there, forced to suffer?
“The capitalist system makes people stupid. And it’s makes them arrogant in their stupidity. Not only do they not know, they don’t want to know. I’ve seen it everywhere. As a matter of fact, they take positions on total ignorance.” - Kwame Ture
MINNEAPOLIS UPDATE:
ICE presence is way down compared to the peak of the surge but they’re still out there. They’re still also engaging in what I think is their most loathsome tactic, lurking near schools.
Observers are still put in force. Heroes working day and night, even as ICE tactics evolve.
