This is Linda Davis, a special education teacher who was killed in a car crash involving ICE agents

The agents didn’t render aid.

She was minutes from her school and bled to death in her car.

They didn’t offer aid to Renee Good or Alex Pretti either.

Say her name too.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Native people being detained by ICE proves the raids are not about immigration status, but skin color. Since the Trump administration sent 2,000 ICE officers to Minneapolis at least 5 Native people have been detained and an unknown...

I’m trying to keep score. So now attempting to invade a federal building is a bad thing? A lot changes in five years.

the administration's position is that American courts can hold any president accountable for crimes, except the American president

A lot of people are missing crucial context about the care services sector. Over recent decades, U.S. policy has increasingly favored care delivered in home- and community-based settings rather than large institutions, and Minnesota has leaned into this approach.

Minnesota’s assisted living licensing framework allows care in small residential settings, including converted single-family homes, as an alternative to nursing homes, which helps explain why assisted living locations often appear clustered in ordinary residential neighborhoods.

In recent years, Medicaid spending on home- and community-based services has grown to exceed institutional long-term care spending. That funding increasingly supports care for people with disabilities, people with serious mental illness, and older adults who receive long-term services in homes and community settings rather than in institutions.

It would not be unusual for the administrative offices of multiple home-care providers to be located in the same office building, since the care itself occurs inside clients’ homes.

Fraud can occur in any publicly funded system, but context about how care is delivered matters before drawing conclusions.

Dude, the cuts you made to humanitarian assistance resulted in the deaths of 600,000 people, two thirds of them children - saving U.S taxpayers just 17 cents a day, $64 a year.

All while you became $450 billion richer since Trump was elected.

How about sitting this one out.

So Samantha Fulnecky admitted to throwing together the assignment in 30 mins, didn't read the article she was suppose to respond to & didn’t even follow the guidelines, yet Oklahoma Univ. fired the teaching assistant who gave her a failing grade because she was suppose to get 100% for simply quoting the Bible????

“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

[Tina Smith @SenTinaSmith]

Not true, Tom. In fact, this is about the 11,000 Minnesotans in your district and over 89k across the state looking at huge health insurance premium increases.

Doesn’t that concern you?

Howard Schultz can write off his $300 million yacht on his taxes, but his workers can’t write off the cost of the clothes they must buy to comply with Starbucks’ employee dress code.

This is what a tax code written to benefit billionaires looks like.

When Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated, Senator Mike Lee mocked their murders online, writing, “This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way.”

[Brandon Bradford @BrandonLBradfor]

"this is going to lead to something bad" is an odd stance, a Minnesota senator was assassinated a few months ago to the collective shrugs of society.

Genuinely shocking to me how this is the trending social issue getting all the attention. ICE officers literally gassed a public school in Portland today but all people care about is the logo of some fuckass restaurant that doesn't matter

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

Under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” federal lands like Teton National Forest will be put up for sale to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Enjoy it while it lasts.
