Flock surveillance cameras have no place in Minneapolis! With reports of ICE accessing Flock-collected data, these surveillance tools pose serious threats to our privacy, civil liberties, and immigrant communities.

As the religious right gained prominence starting in the 70s, the religious left grew quieter. But this year, a surprising number of ministers and religious professionals are running as Democrats.

Christian nationalism's grip on American faith is finally breaking
I helped build the religious right. After ICE killings, I saw what could replace it.

Naked Trump statue goes on display in Strasbourg
Titled "The Orange Plague," a gold-coated statue presents Donald Trump sitting on a smaller man's back. The Danish artist blamed Trump for getting in the way of efforts to address climate change.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

Sure, Andy, most workaday line prosecutors work for both parties. But Folk wound up being a ranking prosecutor. And his track record is clear: he jumps into DOJ under Republicans and nopes out under Democrats. We don't have to pretend that EVERY DOJ attorney is nonpolitical
Former U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Andy Luger, a Democratic appointee, is supporting Folk. He said any attempt to tie Folk’s career to Trump is “utterly ludicrous.”

Luger said when he was leading Minnesota’s office, Folk was in Washington D.C. briefing attorneys in the Biden Administration on “high-level policy.” Luger said federal prosecutors commonly work for administrations from both parties and voters should put more emphasis on Folk’s prosecutorial history than any administration he worked under.
