I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Each and every Republican owns the outcome of any of the admin’s disastrous policies. They have been totally complicit in getting the country to where we are today.

This is what happens to the body when HIV drugs are stopped for millions of people A generation has passed since the peak in AIDS-related deaths.

Pulling the plug on PEPFAR is not only deeply cruel, it is essentially giving a death sentence to millions of people and opening the possibility of drug resistant strains of HIV.

The parallels between today and the early-mid 20th century continue as the large powers get ready to convene in Munich to discuss the future of an invaded sovereign country, likely resulting in an appeasement of the aggressor, in the hopes of establishing a lasting peace. We know how this plays out.

Scoop: Dems "pissed" at liberal groups MoveOn, Indivisible "I reject and resent the implication that congressional Democrats are simply standing by passively."

Ok I LOL’d at this. Wasting energy at being β€œpissed” at liberal groups is going to do absolutely nothing to counter the Trump chaos. How about you finally figure out what field the game is being played on and then show up and fight.

I just spent 15 minutes reading about the history of the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake and honestly I feel dumber having read it.

Laverne Cox reacts to attacks on the trans community: "I think they’re focused on the wrong 1%.”

It’s not lost on me that the only ones delivering an effective message against this regime right now are trans people. Dem leadership should take note. But instead they’ll run as fast as they can from trans people because they’d rather run a campaign like it’s 2008.

Dear Trans Kids, You Don't Need the Government's Permission to Exist Activist and journalist Raquel Willis offers crucial advice to trans and nonbinary youth.

We must make it clear to trans people that we are a safe space for themβ€”that we will fight against the awful rhetoric and action taken by the bigots who now hold power. I have zero time/space for anyone who bullies or oppresses trans people, especially cis gays.

I highly recommend following Kyle Clark from 9News in Colorado (my native state). This is the journalism we need right now.

We’ve seen how this plays out when he is legitimately defeated and constitutionally required to transition power peacefully. The reason why they are now overhauling government is so there will be noβ€”or much lessβ€”institutional resistance to their attempts to hold onto power illegally.

This is a remarkable act of bravery in front of an audience that clearly didn’t want to hear what the bishop was saying. We will need to sustain this kind of resistance for the next four years.

Trump’s Territorial Ambitions Rattle a Weary World A distant era of global politics, when nations scrambled to grab territory, suddenly seems less distant.

It’s really unbelievable that neighboring countries and allies of the United States feel the need to make statements of sovereignty in response to remarks made by an American president-elect.

Pols spending more time/energy reacting to social media commentary on CEO killing than on any meaningful reform of health care in this country is maybe the essence of the problem?
