Whenever I say we should return to 1940-1980 tax levels for the super wealthy (billionaires) of 91%+ marginal tax I hear, "If you do that, billionaires will leave the USA."

To which I say:
1. Promise? Because it didn't happen last time.
2. Don't threaten me with a good time.

AIPAC should be a litmus test for Democrats ahead of the 2026 elections. It's primary season. There's time to pressure them right now. There's no reason why any Democrat is still willing to take money from the pro-Israel group funded by GOP billionaires and extremists.

Refugee released by Border Patrol found dead, sparking outrage Surveillance video obtained by The Post shows Border Patrol agents releasing the partially blind refugee, who went missing for days before being found dead.

They dropped off Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a blind refugee who didn't speak English, at a CLOSED Tim Hortons.

5 miles away from his home.

He never made it.

One reason I’ve shrugged off all the GaViN nEwSoMe Is tHe FrOnTrUnNeR takes is that Pritzker just so obviously outclasses him.

I’m not saying it’ll definitely be Pritzker, but I think I’ll say that there’s no chance GAVIN manages to outmaneuver him.

Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧵

Christian Nationalists are treating the Epstein files like they treat their Bibles and our Constitution: They are *ignoring* them.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.

They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

Pursued by federal agents, suburban ICE observers remain resolved After a frightening pursuit by federal agents, suburban ICE observers say fear hasn’t stopped them from protecting their communities.

“They haven’t seen federal agents de-escalate…In fact, the agents have moved to aggressively pursuing or using dangerous tactics to try to box them in…’I think they’re getting angry that we’re winning and the country is rallying around us.’”

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

ICE must be abolished.

BOMBSHELL whistleblower complaint ROCKS Trump administration
BOMBSHELL whistleblower complaint ROCKS Trump administration YouTube video by Brian Tyler Cohen

A whistle blower complaint is so bad & secretive that they don't know how to give the information to Congress because of the classification of it.
It either has to do with Russia or with Israel in my opinion.

The increasing number of billionaires in every new release of the Epstein files are another reminder that billionaires shouldn't exist because they're immoral, exploitative hoarders and the world would be better if we abolished every one of them.

Billionaires: the only minority destroying humanity.

A reminder that the New England Patriots plane is flown by Omni air who contracts with ICE to fly people in chains to Africa and Asia several times per week.

Go Seahawks.

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show."
Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms.
Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room.
"I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

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.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Hugo Lowell told MSNOW that the Trump administration expects that the murder of Alex Pretti will "blow over and go away." They believe that Americans will forget about it in a week or so.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
