By law, Customs and Border Patrol's jurisdiction extends from the US border 100 miles inland. Minneapolis is 130 MILES AWAY from the nearest border (Lake Superior), OUTSIDE OF THEIR JURISDICTION. They have NO AUTHORITY to be operating within Minneapolis.

The only reason to be angry at someone for reminding troops they can refuse to follow illegal orders is that you're planning on issuing illegal orders.

The first paragraph of Judge Breyer‘s opinion granting an injunction in the California National Guard case is a banger.

If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

Disobeying an unlawful order is, in fact, lawful. Refusing to violate the Constitution is, in fact, defending the Constitution.

I’ve seen the pictures of Trump with Epstein’s girls. Here’s what’s in them - @michaelwolffnyc.bsky.social

America: where autism is a national crisis, but homelessness, poverty, bigotry, sexism, racism, trafficking, anti-Semitism, pandemics, and mass shootings are not

Worth keeping in mind.

If you're not racist but you continue to support a President who is, guess what?

All the credibility of the Iraqi Minister of Information Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf during 2003 invasion of Iraq.

This is what's wrong with extreme wealth disparity in a democracy.

Sound familiar? We are in an historic time, and how we respond will be recorded in history for the generations that follow. We cannot stand by and let this happen again.

Why not release the Epstein files?

elon musk could single-handedly rebuild los angeles and still have about $200 billion left over but tell me again how the rich need another tax cut

After reading some of Danielle's work, I ordered her book immediately. You should check it out.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

We’re meant to calmly accept the absurd idea that any white man is innately qualified for any job or position, no matter what his education, resume or proven capabilities and any non-white man or woman inherently stole their way into employment via #DEI. This of course is pure, undiluted fascism.

Imagine evangelical "Christian" Mike Johnson characterizing Bishop Budde's plea for mercy for the vulnerable and disenfranchised as "radical ideology". I can't wait until he reads the other "radical" stuff Jesus said.

Trump has declared a "National Emergency" at the Southern border and the potential for abuse of his emergency powers could be devastating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTOs...

Because, in Trump's version of Christianity, the first will be first and the last will be deported.

Definitely recommend taking a look at this. Heartfelt and moving. A defiant and thought-provoking counter to the onslaught of lies, cruelty, and misogyny we're dealing with.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

Happy MLK Day.

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺
