So at this point ICE agents in Minnesota are posing as stranded motorists in need of help from a Good Samaritan. Observers in Maple Grove spotted this ICE agent wearing an expensive jacket and hanging next to a car with its hood up. A man who stopped to see if she needed help was detained.

Yesterday the FBI Director, the head of Homeland Security, the now-demoted head of BP and, the Secretary of the Treasury (because why not) went on national television and said Americans who legally carry are now considered threats to law enforcement, even if that gun stays in its holster. Oops.

@amyklobuchar.com and Tina Smith voted no. Grateful that they have done their job to represent the interests of their states. However, we need new leadership. @schumer.senate.gov has not done his job and is not half as enraged as the voters who let you know last week that they want you to fight.

In case you were on the fence about whether it's time to move away from @democrats.org politicians like @hassan.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov and @kaine.senate.gov, consider how enraged you are in this moment. Then consider how untroubled the people bound to represent our interests are.

If you haven't called your Democratic senators' offices lately to support their refusal to back down, please do that asap, it only takes a second. Because Democrats care about human beings and Republicans have demonstrated they don't, they are probably wavering right now.

The Trump Administration has pocked the "17 trillion" in tariffs. Notice they never bring it up anymore. Farmers are going bankrupt. The government has run out of money. And there's zero sign of the tariff money that he claims he has in hand and that was to lead us to a "golden age."

The complete absence of any human emotion from Donald Trump's post about Charlie Kirk's death has me shook. I know he's a narcissistic sociopath, but it's still unnerving to see a "tribute" that rings so hollow, that still centers self, in a moment like this.

Convincing everyday people that they're the reason #climatechange exists (after years of denying it existed at all) is one of the greatest cons in human history. It's not your fault. It's theirs. They know it. But they have to be stopped.

My response to those who say it’s “too late” to address climate change and global environmental damage. It is NOT too late. As long as one tree is still standing, one whale is still swimming, and one child is still breathing it is not too late to protect something precious.

With all respect for Suzuki, the words "too late" are not quite right. As long as we can use our hands to plant a tree seedling, it's not too late. But climate change is here. We didn't meet the targets, so we face enormous challenges. That said, keep tending your small natural worlds.

There's a lot to grieve when we talk about #climatechange. But what I find myself thinking about a lot these days is how climate change is now nearly completely absent from the national dialogue in any meaningful fashion.
