This is the truth.

[Eric Wahl @ziplamak]

He would send your sons & daughters to die in order to avoid accountability for his crimes. There is no pardoning of his astonishing evil; even he knows this. He would sacrifice the Republic for his own ego, & this should horrify Americans across the political spectrum

[fellasmom @AnneGeisler1]

This—- it’s about your moral failings at this point, not his.

[Lance Cooper @lmauricecpr]

Trump is a morally bankrupt racist pedophile who continues to fail as a leader. You can’t be a decent person while supporting Donald Trump; it’s no longer political. If you're backing him at this point, it's because the hatred he spreads resonates with something inside of you.

[fellasmom @AnneGeisler1]

This is what community looks like.

I’m writing this from Minnesota.

These are just a few things that may not be making the national or international news.

a beloved local donut shop Glam Doll Donuts across the street from where Alex Pretti died turned into a warming house and medic center for protestors building and maintaining the memorial site.

a 70yo independent bookstore owner DreamHaven Books down the street expressed his pain on camera, walked through a tear gas cloud, and his website crashed less than 24 hours later from too much business and donations.

the day after tear gas bombs destroyed a N-Mpls neighborhood sending a 6mo old baby to the hospital, at daybreak, a small church community cleaned up the mess of pepper balls, tear gas containers and trash so the neighbors didn’t have to wake up to the memories.

a local independent journalist Mercado Media pounding the streets everyday reporting things from the ground had a testicle removed and showed up two days later to walk with 75,000+ community members to walk the streets in -20 degree weather.

a local sex-positive adult-store The Smitten Kitten has completely transformed into a donation and distribution center.

a local pizza place Wrecktangle Pizza raised over $83K in less than a few days to support families that are sheltering in place.

tow-truck companies are donating their services to clean up the accidents and abandoned vehicles left by ICE and the city is waiving impound fees.

local multi-faith spiritual leaders are spearheading sit-ins at corporate headquarters such as Target and USBank to have deeper conversations with CEOs and boards of directors about community relief.

social workers are taking in children who came home from school with both their parents “disappeared.”

animal shelters and pet-fostering agencies are rescuing pets left alone for days or weeks after their humans were detained.

every restaurant, church, karate dojo, dance studio, school, barber shop, and other small business has created their own underground grassroots supportive network to protect their neighbors, get people to and from work, and raise funds to pay everyday bills.

women who are moms and work full-time jobs are donning reflective vests in shifts to stand watch at bus stops, city parks, and grocery store parking lots ini sub-zero temps to bear witness before going home to tuck their babies in at night.

the MN National Guard offered donuts, coffee, and hot cocoa to peaceful protesters the day after Alex Pretti died, reminding community that we are all in this together and they are here to keep the peace.

These are just a few examples. Stories like this are happening in the hundreds here, every single day!

Community is EVERYTHING!

This Substack community and the MN-Strong resistance has saved my mental health these last weeks.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for giving a shit.

I love you.

[Matt Scott @KUTheShiver]

My goodness Kansas needs someone in Congress that will raise hell about the bullshit we are seeing. We either have GOP bootlickers, or people that don’t fight back against this bullshit.

HAVE SOME FUCKING BALLS!!!!

[Melissa Zárate @Mels_Nic_Z]

Please don’t call yourself a Christian if you believe this administration.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

The right wants us to believe that a teen who showed up at a Wisconsin rally with an AR-15 and shot three people is a peacekeeper who deserves to be celebrated, but an unarmed mom driving away from a Minnesota rally was a domestic terrorist who deserved to die.

[Steve Martin @UnrealBluegrass]

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

More and more we witness this implemented as policy from Trump.

[fellasmom @AnneGeisler1]

@JDVance @JDVance you will go down as the most feckless VP in history. There is no saving your soul at this point.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

Pedophilia wasn't MAGA's red line.

What makes you think they'll respond any differently to the execution of American citizens?

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

They killed her in cold blood.

They shot her in the face and head.

There was no threat.

She was not armed.

And now they will do everything in their power to assassinate her name/character with the same evil vengeance used to kill her.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

[fellasmom @AnneGeisler1]

At this point— if you still support Trump, the moral failing isn’t just his. It’s yours. What a despicable human.

[Jonathan Lemire @JonLemire]

Hard to even describe President Trump’s reaction to the death of Rob Reiner

[fellasmom @AnneGeisler1]

So proud of him— he’s going to do great things!

[Emporia State Univ. @emporiastate]

Mark Kelly is a true leader

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Mark Kelly: “In 1991, when Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into backruptcy, I was getting shot at over Iraq and Kuwait. In 2001, after Donald Trump said the collapse of the Twin Towers meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 9/11 victims into space on a rocketship. In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who died when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry. In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a gunshot wound to the head”

Stop using the language of the rapist.

It is not sex with children, it is rape of children.
It is not underage girls, it is children.
It is not sex trafficking, it is rape trafficking.

[fellasmom @AnneGeisler1]

I concur—-

[Tennesseine @Tennesseine]

Throughout this whole mess, no one has failed America like its press.

Had the modern press covered Watergate, Nixon would have gotten away with everything.

Shame on the journalists of America.

You are an absolute disgrace, and you have failed in your sacred duties.

[fellasmom @AnneGeisler1]

@RogerMarshallMD Why to survive? Why not help rural hospitals and citizens thrive?

[fellasmom @AnneGeisler1]

@CFLong2 @JerryMoran Truth! The cruelty is the point. Such constant disappointment.
