Every democrat in the US House and Senate who is thinking about voting for more $ for ICE should be required to come to MN and see ICE in action and the devastation that has occurred over the past weeks. Beyond belief.

The documents that Trump released and endorsed clearly validate and detail a massive Russian intelligence service operation to elect Donald Trump of which he and his entourage were aware and in which they knowingly participated. Russiagate is real, we learn.

Food for thought:
In '24, 245M Americans were eligible to vote.
just 73.6 % of those (174M) registered to vote.
just 154M of them actually voted.
US voter turnout ranked in bottom 1/3 of all democracies.
This is how democracy dies.
Too many people have taken too much for granted for too long

It was a quiet sunny Saturday afternoon, teachers and parents with kids strolling in the street.
Then suddenly a vicious, unprovoked and sudden attack with explosions, flash bangs, big rubber bullets, canisters of tear gas rained over the crowd of people.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.
