Indivisible Twin Cities is no longer surprised by the actions of a rogue Supreme Court but that doesn't mean we are not deeply troubled by the decision handed down today allowing the Trump administration to use the poorly designed SAVE Program to run verification on voters. This will likely disenfranchise voters across the country. But not in Minnesota:Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon issued the following statement:  

“I want to be very clear – this ruling has no effect on Minnesota elections. Minnesota has never used the SAVE Program for voter verification, we’re not permitted in state law to do so, and we have no plans to do so.

Even if it were lawful, reports have shown the SAVE Program to be deeply flawed when it comes to transparency, accuracy, and data security.  

Minnesotans should rest easy knowing that their right to vote won’t be impeded by this faulty project.”ITC has proudly endorsed Steve Simon for Minnesota Secretary of State based on his impeccable record of following the rule of law and protecting voter access for all Minnesotans.



During this election like no other, Vote Early In-Person if you are able and vote for the candidates, up and down the ballot, who put Minnesotans first - like Secretary of State Steve Simon.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

They had him on the ground. Six agents pinned him down. They disarmed him. They removed his gun from its holster. And THEN they shot him. Ten times. To repeat. AFTER they pinned him to the ground, and AFTER they disarmed him, they shot him. Ten times. They murdered him.

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
officialjackwhite
"Jack White is a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career," wrote Cheung. "It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of The People's House."--White House Communications Director Steven Cheung

Listen, I'm an artist and not a politician so I'm in no need to give my answer or opinion on
anything if I'm not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn't me calling out trump's
blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about
Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous "wall" construction, his attacks on the disabled
his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress,
his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at
distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the
Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic
Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with
poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing
to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise
and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake "gunshot to the ear"
that he showed no medical records or photographs of his constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. No, it wasn't me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults.
How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? Masquerading as a
real artist? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here's my opinion,
trump is masquerading as a human being.officialjackwhite
He's masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy.
He's been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he's involved in
has prospered except by using other people's money to find loophole after loophole and grift after grift. His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung
and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and
"ample time on
at golf than
helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There
progress with him, only
smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. So maga folk, enjoy your
concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain't spending any
money agenda. on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremascist country club rich idiot.
No intelligent person can defend this
low life fascist. This bankrupter of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka,
trump water, etc. This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have
fleeced the American people over and over. This professional golf cheat, this grifter who
has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands,
this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and
voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality
television stars. Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman
leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain
who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves.
And no I'm not a Democrat either, I'm a human being raised in Detroit, I'm an artist who's
owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he
was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a
cheap grifter and a thief.

GOP Lawmakers Watch Silently As Trump Strangles Each Of Their Loved Ones In Turn
WASHINGTON—Opting to take more of a wait-and-see approach instead of rushing to pass judgment, Republican lawmakers reportedly looked on in silence Tuesday as President Trump worked his way through each of their families and, one by one, strangled all their loved ones to death. “After I watched the president slowly and methodically squeeze the life out of my wife’s body as she gasped, futilely, for breath, he gave me his personal assurance that he was not responsible for her death, so I continue to stand by this administration,” said Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-TN), who along with every Republican in both the House and Senate stated that while killing off their families in cold blood might not be entirely proper, it was certainly not an impeachable offense, no matter how the media tried to spin it. “Now, this is not an action I would have taken myself. I personally would not have wrapped my hands around my 5-year-old son’s neck and crushed his windpipe. But if Donald Trump’s approach to governing is sometimes a bit outside the ordinary, that’s because Donald Trump is no ordinary president. And maybe that’s not such a bad thing.” Later, with his beloved sister’s face turning purple as the commander-in-chief asphyxiated her with a length of barbed wire, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared on several television news networks and said impeaching the president for her imminent death would be “insane.”
