I've been taking tap lessons for three years Tap is fun, great exercise and scientifically proven to improve bone density by as much as 15%. Keane Sense of Rhythm has classes for folks over 55 and amazing youth ensembles. Lessons are rooted in the skills of tap legends of old. Come see us at Fringe!

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.

Musk is stepping back from DOGiE because he's already stolen everything. How are we to know where our data is sold and used? What will be the consequences of his access to it all?? Elections have consequences but our warnings did little good. This is one of those times when it sucks to be right.

I've said this before. WE ARE NOT SAFE! We aren't safe from attacks. We are not safe flying in the US air space. Our water isn't safe. Our food isn't safe. Our air isn't safe. Our vaccines and medicines probably aren't safe either. This shambolic admin puts us all in danger. This is not a drill!!

Let's be clear eyed. They aren't stupid or in a cult. They are the people who brought a picnic to a lynching. They burned women alive and called them witches. They bought scalps and sold humans. Our history is filled with them. They love Trump no matter what he does or says. They are all in.

The Hands-Off Coalition of Indivisible Twin Cities, Minnesota 50501 and Women's March MN, will be protesting on the sidewalk outside the El Salvadoran Consulate in support of those who have been arrested without due process, sent to the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador,

2/ or targeted for their speech and protesting, and in protest of the Trump administration's illegal actions and bold defiance of the rule of law and court orders. This event will be held in St. Paul on Wednesday, 4/16, from 3-6pm. The consulate is at 60 Plato Blvd, St. Paul, 55107.

3/ Please join us and share! We hope to see you all there. The current regime has illegally sent hundreds of refugees to CECOT, a Salvadoran mega-prison. The dictator of El Salvador has said those in the prison “will never leave”. If they can do this to them, they can do it to you.

It's very frustrating when trying to share something like an event or an article one finds on other social media that can't be shared on blusky. Can you fix that please?

The MAGAts will parrot Rubio's claim that SCOTUS can't influence foreign policy! Clearly unconstitutional but the good Nazis will make mouth noises that their collaborators will repeat. THEY are the ones who should be deported since they have zero respect for what this country is at our foundation.

Retirement has offered me time to dip my toe into many avenues otherwise closed to me. I hope you'll put LASAA on your calendar for Aug. 8, 2025 and consider sponsoring this event which will help new and emerging artists find their voices.

Auchincloss, time after time is hitting it out of the park in his analysis of what is going on. His voice needs to be amplified so the idiots in the back can hear him.

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.

This crazy motherfucker doesn't have a REAL immigration problem. He's pissed that ICE hasn't been rounding up thousands of illegal migrants that he can abuse and deport so he has to create them! He's a monster. A fascist. A criminal. It's been two months and it's already way too much!

For attending a funeral. For having pictures on her phone. They complained about petty bureaucrats blocking their efforts. So now they let petty bureaucrats decide who gets deported when they have valid visas. At least they deported her to Lebanon and not to some Salvadoran prison. Monsters!

There is no way that all of these men are Venezuelan gang members. It defies logic that they could all have been scooped up in one bunch. There are innocent, law abiding, tax paying men in that group. I guarantee it, and now they have been disappeared. Face the facts. This is what America is doing.

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

🔥 WATCH: “WHERE’S ELON MUSK?? If he found so much waste and fraud, why isn’t he here explaining it? You know why… because he’s out to privatize social security.” Rep Larson lights up the DOGE con in committee.

If you thought your legal status would protect you ie: "I came into the country legally. Those who didn't should be deported..." We told you they would come for you and they are. Don't be fooled by the idea that this guy is different because he protested against the war in Gaza.

There will be discussions about having an ID card that will protect you but it's just a way to gather your information. Decide now what you will do when they come for your neighbor, your friend, your coworker. This IS Nazi Germany now.

That's just their excuse for him. Their plan was always to use immigration deportations as an excuse to arrest and intern ANYONE they want. Immigrants, citizens, white, black, brown. They start with one. There will be many many more activists from every corner.

Who is this dude? Because he's the first Dem I've heard that sounds like he's ready to go to the mattresses! Which is what we need!!!

I’ve been feeling a particular affinity for the French these days … not just because I’ve watched Casablanca so many times lately that I know the words to the first verse of La Marseillaise forward and backward
