Just heard the terrible news that the famous log cabin Wendy's in Nisswa, MN has permanently closed. My heart goes out to everyone else affected by this loss, especially @Chris_Hawkey.

What a sad day for the Brainerd Lakes area, Minnesota, America, and ultimately, the World.

#Jeopardy champion Jamie Ding slams ICE after his 31-day winning streak ends and says "I hope that immigrants can be seen in a positive light" under Trump's federal government.

“I kept hearing how [my run] was bringing people together, and I love that very much. I’ve heard people say, ‘It’s nice to have something positive on TV!’ As an immigrant and a person of color, I was able to become part of the history of an American institution. ‘Jeopardy!’ really is an institution and America’s turning 250 years old and the federal government is going after immigrants in a way unlike anything that we’ve seen in the recent past. So I hope that immigrants can be seen in a positive light too.” (via People)

Imagine getting in a time machine and going back to 1776 and telling the Founding Fathers that the King would one day be reminding America about the importance of democracy and our checks and balances. That is the timeline we’re living in.

Your agents shot a mother in the face, then called her a "fuckin' bitch."

Two days ago, Trump said people calling him a "king" led to the most recent assassination attempt:

"The reason you have people like that is you have people doing No Kings. I'm not a king."

Hey folks: restaurants close all the time and new restaurants open all the time. Also, sometimes the owners of closing restaurants don't tell the whole truth about why they are closing.

Beyonce's 'Lemonade' is the #1 Greatest Album of the 21st Century, so far.

"Lemonade has always been more than just an album. It’s a music film as layered, gorgeous, and haunting as a canonical drama."

people’s memories are so bad they can’t even remember the time before the trans culture war. literally no one cared. republicans didnt care. it wasn’t a concern until they had to make something up to make you angry and stupid. we have hard proof that it’s a hoax but no one cares

Every single Republican in Congress must go on the record today and answer this question: Do you support the President threatening to wipe out an entire civilization?

Congress needs to return to DC immediately to end this war and stop this madness.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

[Allen Henry @AllenMN]

He "always thought" the director of national counterterrorism was "weak on security."

Make it make sense.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: Your director of national counterterrorism, Joe Kent, he just resigned today. He said he can't support your conflict with Iran.

Trump: I always thought he was a nice guy but I always thought he was weak on security. I didn't know him well.

Okay so,

1) an American citizen exercises his First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and his Second Amendment right to bear arms, out of apparent concern that a tyrannical federal government is violating basic protections afforded under the Constitution

2) after coming to the aid of an unarmed woman who's been shoved to the ground by a masked federal agent, the citizen -- impaired by pepper spray, holding nothing but a cell phone -- is dragged to the ground by a group of other masked agents

3) during the scuffle, shortly after one masked agent removes the weapon from the restrained citizen's person, several other masked agents open fire, unloading 10 shots from close range and killing the unarmed citizen

4) despite video evidence, a spokesman for the federal government says the citizen approached agents with a gun, provoked a violent confrontation, and planned to "massacre" law enforcement

You really want to defend this? Go ahead. Just know, you look like an absolute fool.

[The Minnesota Star Tribune @StarTribune]

The ACLU of Minnesota filed a class action lawsuit Thursday against the federal government, alleging federal agents unlawfully stopped and detained Minnesotans during immigration enforcement operations. https://t.co/yUBvZr7AXg
