Minnesota’s Secretary of State told Bondi to take a hike.
Screenshot of an X post by MM (@adgirlMM, posted 1 day ago). The text says: “In case you missed it, this sycophant bootlicker is trying to extort Minnesota of their voter rolls, in exchange for calling off their armed ICE goons. It’s almost like stoking violence in Minnesota was part of their master plan to rig the 2026 election.” Below the text is a photo of a blonde woman in a dark blazer seated at a hearing table with a microphone, looking forward; the background is blurred.

Alex Pretti’s last words: “Don’t touch her!”  “Are you okay?” 
Renee Good’s last words:
“I’m really not mad at you dude…”
And this administration wants you to believe these fellow Americans were “domestic terrorists.”  This must end.  Abolish ICE.

I don’t have a manifesto or philosophy to post.  Just profound grief for what we’ve lost as a nation.  They killed a nurse in cold blood.  His last act was helping a woman who was shoved to the ground by federal agents.  She says his last words were, are you ok?

"Pertussis, or whooping cough, is now spreading at a rate the U.S. hasn’t seen since vaccines were introduced in 1948." It's No Coincidence. Public health funding is being slashed. Vaccine misinformation is spreading. Fewer people are getting vaccinated. This is the result.

A shameless plug for the TV show “Andor” but it was just May the 4th and this quote felt like it was talking right to us. Goodnight friends. 💚 Get some rest.
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this.  

Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this.  

The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing that will break the siege.   

Remember this.  

Try.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.
