I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Trump y la tradición republicana Trump y compañía, es evidente, no pueden mirar a nadie a los ojos y sostener su mirada de igual a igual. Pues ellos ejercen dominio sobre los demás, tanto frente a sus conciudadanos como con el resto ...

Comparto mi columna en @elpaisamericaco.bsky.social, en la cual recurro a la filosofía política republicana para cuestionar a quienes, bajo la bandera del Partido Republicano, intentan destruir a la República. Me refiero, por supuesto, a Donald Trump y sus secuaces.

Esto sí es tener un ego enorme y, al tiempo, brutalmente frágil. Uno podría decir que parece un hombrecito adolescente, pero la verdad eso sería un insulto para los hombrecitos adolescentes. Es un señoro, el Rey de los Señoros.

This is how far you have to scroll on the NYTimes homepage to get any coverage of what's going on day-to-day in an occupied American city where schools are closing because the government is checking the papers of all brown or Asian people then brutalizing, imprisoning or killing them.

Bro, they are closing schools because teachers need time to make virtual options for non-white students because lawless federal paramilitaries are terrorizing them.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets and the pockets of those around him. He says he is constrained only by his “own morality.” When we say "No Kings," this is why.

If Trump is so worried about Russia perhaps he should stop flirting with the idea of invading Greenland and try to, I don't know, stop being Putin's best friend or something like that. Just saying.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Tiempos recios: consideraciones desordenadas y no-sistemáticas sobre Venezuela y Estados Unidos Dudé mucho si debía, o no, publicar este post. Porque, después de todo, una de las cosas que más me agota, exaspera, desespera, es el constante afán de opinar sobre lo divino y lo humano que domina la...

Por si a alguien le interesa, algunas reflexiones muy personales y nada sistemáticas sobre el ataque de Estados Unidos a Venezuela y la abducción de Nicolás Maduro.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela.

Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law.

Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.

I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
