F*cking evil.
F*cking evil.
If LEGO made Baba Yagaβs house a set Iβd totally buy it.
My heart grieves. We have learned nothing about our imperialist wars. Get ready for them to prop up the Shahβs son like we are in the Middle Ages. If you donβt think that Islamophobia is playing a big role in this Christian nationalist governmentβs foreign policy, you are asleep at the wheel.
A message from the Wonderwall
If Trump gets his war with Iran he might try to use that as the emergency under which he takes power over elections since he and the GOP arenβt looking hot in the poles.
We had a deal with Iran to ensure limits on its nuclear capacities. Trump ended that deal. Now he says that sending our young people off to fight and potentially lose their lives for this country is just a βcost of war.β This is the cost of his broken promises. No war with Iran.
There is no reason for this besides the persecution of trans people. This is evil.
Why does it tell the story of America and not the story of Republican governance?
Pritzker demands a $1,700 refund per family for the people of Illinois after Trump's tariffs were ruled unconstitutional.
Dems, pay attention. This is your midterms message.
Reduction of forces does not promise an end to tactics. Reduction of forces does not promise safety for immigrants and others harmed by ICE. Reduction of forces does not promise justice for immigrants and others harmed by ICE. Reduction of forces in MN doesnβt mean they wonβt do this elsewhere.
I see many people sharing Trumpβs recent post and calling out the obvious racism in it. While it is absolutely disgusting, it is not at all surprising. Trumps racism (and misogyny, ableism, transphobia) have been on full display since before he was ever elected (the first time).
Might have to stock up.
Cop shows are NOT what we need at this moment.
Weβll see. Tuesdays is caucus night.
Her failure depends on the candidate(s) running against her. (In part)
I hope her campaign for governor doesnβt become like the Dem. Primary for POTUS in 2016, where the party never gives challengers a true shot at the nomination.

And they are just Lutheran grandmothers, they are Catholic, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and more!
I liked one personβs description of the resistance here in Minnesota as one of neighborliness. Mr Rogerβs would be proud.
Abolishing ICE is not enough. All of DHS needs to be abolished and all the people apart of it need to be prosecuted.
DHS and ICE come out of post 9/11 racism, so attacking black and brown people is in the institutional DNA.
Lord, be with us this dayβ within us to purify us; above us to draw us up; beneath us to sustain us; before us to lead us; behind us to restrain us; around us to protect us. Amen.

We are grateful for the solidarity of people throughout the country and world. Below is this morningβs front page.
They are traumatizing more than just the cities. Their trauma is reaching most of the state.
The way ICE is acting on Minnesota streets is as reminiscent of slave patrols as the Gestapo. We need not compare what is happening to history in another place, because it harkens back to our own history. It is our inability to recon with and repent of our history that has gotten us here today.
What we are experiencing in the US right now is not a new American version of Nazi style fascism. What we are experiencing is the continuation and grown the home grown White Supremacy and Christian Nationalism.
Theyβve already started checking documents on jet bridges.
Please pay attention to the dissonance between Trumpβs praise and support of protests in Iran and his discussion of calling in the military on protests in Minneapolis and Minnesota. In both cases people are protesting authoritarian government.
It is my fear. And sadly many of my neighbors (we are 20-30 miles from Minneapolis) would cheer on such Imperial action from the Feds in the city.
