While the surge of federal agents in the Twin Cities grabbed much of the attention the past few months, stories of children hiding at home, crying in class and being detained have quietly gripped some Minnesota small towns since January.
Here's the proposed rule. www.regulations.gov/document/DOJ...
Comments can be submitted via the federal portal at www.regulations.gov.
We all know what this is: they're trying to make sure their own lawyers don't get disbarred for breaking or ignoring the law or court orders.
Let's stop that.
Lawyers of Bluesky: you may want to have a look at this.
Bondi's DOJ is proposing a rule that would require state bar associations to suspend disciplinary proceedings against DOJ lawyers who have violated ethics rules for as long as the DOJ wants, under the guide of DOJ investigating its own attys.
Robert is the candidate who will best serve the people of Illinois, but corporate and crypto interests are spending big to beat him. We know we can win this fight because our endorsement is backed up with real grassroots power. If you live in IL-02, you can help us GOTV by talking to your neighbors.
(next to a photo of Robert Peters) INDIVISIBLE NATIONAL ENDORSES ROBERT PETERS FOR ILLINOIS-02!
We’re proud to announce our endorsement of @robertpeters.bsky.social!
Like our local groups that first endorsed him and the supermajority of Indivisibles in IL-02 who voted to back him, we believe Robert is the strongest candidate to lead the fight for our democracy. 🧵
Since all #maga & #90million who didn’t want to vote for a Black Woman in ‘24 elections care about is money, let this be a reminder that #whitesupremacy , #patriarchy & #misogyny are very EXPENSIVE & NOT GOOD ECONOMIC models to follow.
Keep in mind marginalized groups have always had this type of fear for generations. And, they didn’t/don’t have the luxury of resting for too long.
No #Dem running for any public office BETTER BLAME ANY OTHER COUNTRY for what is happening in THIS country!!

In Gaza, Israel and Biden normalized war crimes beyond anything we have seen before.
And now, Israel and Trump are using that model against Iranian civilians.
At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says

#Congress , none of you will be seen as fighting fascism if this doesn’t stop ASAP.
Nearly 30 million Americans live with rare diseases, and for many families the wait for treatment options can define their lives. Recent FDA decisions rejecting multiple therapies have intensified concerns from patients and medical experts.
Democrats should put hold on vote for new DHS secy until ICE demands are met.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
From 2023
Some of us missed the memo I guess.

We wish this was a politically boring time, and America’s 250th birthday could be memorialized and celebrated simply with fireworks and kitschy parades.
Unfortunately, it’s up to us to make some new history with organized people power at a scale this country has never seen.
This piece by Wesley Morris, which in today’s print edition is entitled “At Last: Gay Romance Without the Suffering,” was the balm I needed at the end of this day.
Wonderfully written. Here’s a gift link.

I would have federal support as a Caretaker for a loved one, working on major abortion access on a national level with the WH support & maybe getting a Nutrition/Dietitian degree since there would’ve been more financial support (grants) for higher education.
Noem is out largely due to massive public activism, especially in MN, Democrats expressing increasing interest in impeachment and investigations, and resulting media coverage.
Keep pushing. These people are not invincible or immune from public opinion.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
The IDOC has not improved health care since the consent decree in Lippert. People are dying, going blind, having amputations due to lack of care for treatable conditions.

Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony D’Esposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if he’s running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fiancee’s daughter on payroll.
