KLOBUCHAR: What is the number of DHS agents still in Minnesota? NOEM: Still close to 650 KLOBUCHAR: When are you gonna get down to the original footprint as promised to us? NOEM: We're continuing to work at that KLOBUCHAR: Are you aware agents bashed in the door of a US citizen? NOEM: I can't speak to the specifics of that case KLOBUCHAR: Do you believe he was involved in fraud? Are you aware he's the son of a beloved nurse that treated our soldiers in Vietnam? Did they have a judicial warrant? And are you aware that he tried to show his ID?

Depressing part of growing older in a collapsing imperial gerontocracy (among many) is not only have I heard all these bullshit justifications for war before but I've literally heard them from the same people

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

The American people are sick and tired of endless wars built on false promises and paid for with innocent lives. Congress must immediately pass Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

Congress hasn’t figured this out yet.

There has been no harsher critic to U.S. military action in Iran than Pope Leo XIV: “War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading.  The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined. “Peace is no longer sought as a gift and a desirable good in itself, or in the pursuit of the establishment of the ordered universe willed by God, with a more perfect form of justice among men and women.” “Instead, peace is sought through weapons as a condition for asserting one’s own dominion. “This gravely threatens the rule of law, which is the foundation of all peaceful civil coexistence.”

Americans watching their tax dollars being used to bomb Iran while they set up a GoFundMe account for insulin.

Gotta stop finding out this way.

A truly AWFUL situation; last week Border Patrol dropped a “nearly blind” Burmese refugee off in front of a random donut shop in Buffalo, five miles from his house. He was just found dead, having never made it home.

ICE kidnapped a blind man and was forced to release him. They *intentionally* dropped him off five miles from his house. His body was discovered days later. They murdered a blind man. investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/bli…

They hate that they can’t crush us.

@atrupar “We tried killing you with guns and now we’re gonna try killing you with healthcare.” - JD Vance

JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."

People are going to die.

Imagine someone steals your identity and in response the government closes all your bank accounts. When you ask them why they say, “no one can steal from you if you have no money!” That’s what JD Vance is doing to disability services in Minnesota. Punishing the victims of fraud.

There has never been a figure skater that I would have been BFFs with until Alyssa Liu. I mean, she dropped the f bomb on her way off the ice. I adore her. She's by far my favorite skater of all time.

“I Am Somebody” is a poem written by Rev. William Holmes Borders, Sr. He was the Senior Pastor at Wheat Street Baptist Church in Atlanta. Reverend Jesse Jackson recited the poem often. I Am Somebody I Am Somebody I May Be Poor But I Am Somebody I May Be Young But I Am Somebody I May Be On Welfare But I Am Somebody I May Be Small But I Am Somebody I May Make A Mistake But I Am Somebody My Clothes Are Different My Face Is Different My Hair Is Different But I Am Somebody I Am Black Brown White I Speak A Different Language But I Must Be Respected Protected Never Rejected I Am God's Child I Am somebody.

Ukrainian refugees are now being arrested by ICE agents who say they “support russia.” A Ukrainian father, Dmytro Kulyk, escaped russian drone and missile attacks back home, only to be grabbed by a group of ICE agents in a Walmart parking lot in Minneapolis. “I hoped I would find peace in America. I’ve done everything the government required. I don’t understand why I am behind bars,” Dmytro told The Daily Beast. “I came to America to escape the war, to pray in church, and to work hard.” Dmytro was picking up an order at Walmart when he found himself surrounded by immigration agents. He had been working as a delivery driver to make ends meet, while also supporting his family by doing roofing work. Dmytro legally entered the U.S. in late 2023 along with his 38-year-old wife and their daughter, who is now 5. The family was sponsored by U.S. citizens as part of the Uniting for Ukraine program, established in April 2022 to allow Ukrainians fleeing russia’s war to live and work in the U.S. on humanitarian parole. Once the initial two-year parole period expires, participants can apply for re-parole to remain in the country longer. That’s exactly what Dmytro did. His wife’s and daughter’s applications were approved, but his remains pending. He said he was putting groceries into his car when he was approached by three ICE agents: “I explained to the ICE officers that the war was killing people, that my wife had a disability, that we had escaped violence and terrorism. But one of them began to laugh. I asked why he was laughing, and I was told that he was pro-russian and wanted russia to win the war.” Dmytro cannot understand why he has been treated like a criminal. He did everything by the book, paid taxes, submitted his immigration paperwork on time, and worked multiple jobs to take care of his family. He has no criminal record. Yet ICE arrested him, and now he faces deportation to a war-torn country. This is the new reality of Trump’s America. An America I hardly recognize anymore. Source: The Daily Beast

every single time this is tested, it yields the same results. time to enact actual policies
