The thing is, Mamdani's position is the only correct position for anyone who truly believes in the universality of human rights, not to mention the best framework for a durable peace. And people keep asking him like he's some sort of freak for holding it. And he keeps answering. Good for him.

Good to see that people power or As Mark Carney puts it „Feedback“ has some impact on his horrible environmental policies in #Canada. At least a partial win. Turns out environmental destruction is not a popular policy. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

the main problem with video as a format is that it's too slow at dispensing information. I can read much faster than you can talk and there's no way you can address this without becoming incomprehensible to most of the audience.

WOW. New data just revealed that ICE agents arrested 3,800 Minnesota residents this winter – averaging 33 arrests every day. More than 75% of those arrested had no criminal record. ICE agents are not just going after the worst of the worst, and they are not making communities better off.

It’s been a wild morning outside of City Hall – we had two HSI vehicles illegally parked on Minneapolis police parking right next to City Hall. The tow was called and had started being put on the car when the HSI agents arrived in shame, and were booed out by the several people, staff, & CMs.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after. It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

The 2026 midterms have to be about impeachment. If you aren’t able to make case to the American people now, you aren’t going to suddenly find the willpower to do what is so obviously necessary after being elected. If we still have a Constitution—or laws at all—impeachment is necessary.

We’re still seeing ICE a lot in the suburbs, following legal observers to their homes, and holding tons of our neighbors at Whipple and then dumping them out in the middle of the night. We still need to stay vigilant until every last one of them leaves our state and our neighbors are back home.

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store
