Proud to stand with my @uicgeo union siblings as we take a stand to demand the wages, protections, and affordable healthcare we deserve! This fight is bigger than just the grad workers -- rate hikes for Campus Care will impact ALL OF US. #UnionStrong @AFLCIO @iftaft

Ya know, I saw a lot of things in my past life in digital politics, but this? This is officially the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

Imagine being a congressman from Minnesota and caring so little about what’s happening here that you just copy and paste talking points.

If you’re not writing your own statements and you’re not holding town halls, what exactly are we paying you for?

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

When Donald Trump says who he really is, believe him.

He's raising your grocery prices.
He's violating your civil rights.
He's rolling back your health care.
He's taking away your education.

It's past time to stand up, push back, and be loud for America.

[Dan McClellan @maklelan]

As someone with the capacity for abstract thought, I've got a secret to tell you. Pretti never once brandished or even reached for his firearm. It was taken from his belt holster by another officer before Pretti was repeatedly shot in the back. Grow the fuck up & stop lying.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Kash Patel today: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want."

Kash Patel in 2021: "This is what Fight with Kash is for. We will help Kyle Rittenhouse."

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

I would offer that Alex Pretti putting his body—with his hands up—between a woman and the BP agent who had just violently shoved her into the snow, offer stark competing visions of manhood. Pretti, a nurse caring for veterans, who took a face full of pepper spray to shield that woman, is a much better masculine ideal that the masked coward shoving the woman and executing a man on his knees. MAGA may venerate the latter, but most people in a healthy society want the former.

When the government lies constantly it is not in fact a “battle over truth.” It’s just that the government is lying.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Children and women chanting “let us out” at the Dilley Concentration Center that Trump has set up in Texas, as they apparently wear color-coded jackets.

It’s like a scene from “The Handmaid’s Tale” or 1930s Germany.

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

We had insurgents shoot RPGs and Machine gun fire at us. The next time we met with civilians we treated Iraqis with more respect than these officials treat US citizens.

I swear, Sean Penn must have had some sort of vision of the future when he was creating his character for @onebattlemovie…

BASH: It feels as though you're blaming the victim here

BOVINO: The victims are the Border Patrol agents. I'm not blaming the Border Patrol agents. The victims are the Border Patrol agents.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Men brought guns inside the Michigan statehouse to protest pandemic lockdowns (but really to frighten and intimidate lawmakers) and no one shot them. They weren’t even arrested.

[dylan @dylanbgibson]

@SecVetAffairs You are a coward.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

[dylan @dylanbgibson]

I’m in grad school at the moment studying to become a history teacher, and I’ll just say it’s a hell of a thing to read about the birth of the American conception of citizenship and immigration at a time like this.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

You are defending the open killing of everyday Americans for exercising their Constitutional rights.

First, the mother of a 6 year old child. Now, an ICU nurse to veterans. Both shot at nearly point blank range.

All without reflection or remorse. People will not forget this.

[Dan Lamothe @DanLamothe]

This is @SecVetAffairs Doug Collins's only post on X since one of his employees, Alex Pretti, was shot and killed by federal law enforcement yesterday in Minneapolis.

[dylan @dylanbgibson]

The Administration’s effort to cast ICE agents as the victims in this whole situation (on full display below) is perhaps the most infuriating part of everything that’s happening.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

When I was in Minneapolis, I heard a number of crazy stories. But near the top of the list:

A couple of off duty ICE and CBP officers were going to dinner in Minneapolis. They were doxed and their location revealed, and the restaurant was then mobbed. The officers were locked in the restaurant, and local police refused to respond to their pleas for help (as they've been directed by local authorities). Eventually, their fellow federal agents came to their aid.

This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border.

The solution is staring everyone in the face. I hope authorities in Minneapolis stop this madness.

[dylan @dylanbgibson]

@adammocklerr All of this is already true. And it’s been true for decades. The idea that liberals haven’t been gun owners is just conservative propaganda.
