We need to be clear about what is happening in this photo. Rick Scarborough, former Southern Baptist pastor, got on stage at the Texas Republican Convention and told state DELEGATE Mohamed Hussein to convert to Christianity or leave the country. He was so upset that he cried. It was then and only then that Rick felt guilty, so he sat down and pretended to pray for him. The only evil we need to expel from this state are the people who don’t believe in the CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT of freedom of religion. 📷 Manoo Sirivelu for @TexasTribune

The craziest thing about this is that I assumed some of you were out there doing some real law breaking. I'm maybe a little ashamed that someone posting "become ungovernable" represents the hardest of the hardcore among us.

“This past winter, the Trump administration tried to break Minnesotans’ solidarity and basic sense of decency by flooding our state with armed agents. They failed. Now they are trying to break us in the courtroom. They will fail again.” aflcio.mn/4etSwkg

Leading off was Madi McVan, Minnesota Reformer, doing us proud.

A new Minnesota Poll finds a majority of Minnesotans disapprove of the job Donald Trump is doing as president, while also having concerns about the economy and Iran. kare11.com/article/news/poli…

Our system is rigged so that one man becomes a trillionaire while millions of Americans can't afford a trip to the doctor. Wealth is funneled to the wealthy while everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails. My wealth tax would level the playing field. Let's get it done.

The President of the United States is visibly struggling, and the signs of worsening cognitive decline are becoming harder and harder to ignore. He’s also falling asleep regularly in meetings. Why is this not a national story every day?

GOP governor candidate Lisa Demuth defended the ICE surge after agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti: “the death of two Minnesota residents — that’s the cost of it”.

Actual federal charges in Minnesota for hurting ICE agents feelings

Freedom of expression is a human right. The Trump administration's weaponization of conspiracy charges against protesters not only raises serious concerns about the criminalization of dissent, it creates a climate of fear that deters others from exercising their right to protest when it disagrees with those in power. With the Trump administration unlikely to revoke National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 that is enabling these charges, Congress and @JusticeOIG should investigate the targeting of protest movements by the DOJ. whitehouse.gov/presidential-…

The FBI raids on Ohio voting rights organizations and staff are a deliberate attack to keep us from voting — and to keep our votes from counting, in order to control the outcomes of our elections. Hands off our votes! #Ohio #elections #votingrights @BLM_216

There are so many people in Minneapolis that joke about being part of antifa, mainly because people like this asshole don’t even understand what antifa means. This is just a bullshit way for the DOJ to harass Minnesotans, and it’s a completely fucked up use of taxpayer money.

Act free to be free.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota couldn’t name how many officers were injured by the Minnesota 15. Which is weird… because I can name three unarmed civilians who were shot by ICE/Border Patrol agents, in Minnesota alone.

Soybean buyers, like China, have stopped purchasing. Fertilizer and fuel costs have skyrocketed. Operation Metro Surge, even, had a negative impact on farms and their workers, leaving farmers scrambling. Farm bankruptcies in the United States have hit a six-year high, and Minnesota farmers led the country. Losing money, filing for bankruptcy, and increases in suicides–our Minnesota farmers are suffering. The tariffs and this costly trade war are taking everything from our farmers. Our farmers deserve better. ​​Our farmers deserve to compete globally. They deserve strong trade partnerships that support their competitiveness. Above all, they deserve leadership in Washington that actually cares about farmers.
