If you’re a Midwestern populist who believes regular people should have a fighting chance against the wealthy and powerful, you would have found in Chris a kindred spirit. She taught me most of what I know about stirring up trouble. I love you Mom.
This is Chris Flint my Mom. Born on April Fool’s Day in 1932, passed on from this Earth after a long goodbye from Alzheimer’s in 2016. She would have been 93 today. If you wonder where I learned to swear, here’s my teacher.

Was able to speak for a while this morning as @booker.senate.gov enters Hour 13 of holding the Senate floor. With two glasses of water and sheer determination, he’s telling the world that America is fighting back against this President. Go Cory!

I love my friend @booker.senate.gov. Speaking on the Senate floor as long as he is able to tell the stories of the damage being done to Americans by Donald Trump and his Administration.

This is exactly what I feared but knew in my gut was true: This group chat scandal isn't an isolated incident, it's just the only one we know about. Any Republicans that stick their heads in the sand, look the other way and pretend this isn't a serious problem are abdicating their responsibility.
What other sensitive data are they carelessly sending via unsecured group chats?
Post from @AlexBWard: NEW: “Two U.S. officials also said that Waltz has created and hosted multiple other sensitive national security conversations on Signal with cabinet members, including separate threads on how to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine as well as military operations.”
Trans Day of Visibility should be a day of joy, but it feels somber this year. The onslaught of attacks against trans folks seems endless, so I just want to say this: Trans people deserve respect, freedom, and autonomy. They deserve to live their lives as their true selves without fear.
I’m tracking this situation closely and have been in touch with U of M leaders. We need answers on exactly what is happening. (2/2)
International students are huge assets to the University of Minnesota. They move thousands of miles away from their families and support systems to learn from the best and the brightest. I can’t imagine how terrified they are after learning ICE has detained one of their classmates. (1/2)
Email from the University of Minnesota that reads: Dear students, faculty and staff,
We are writing to inform you about a deeply concerning situation involving one of our international graduate students at the University of Minnesota.
We learned that, on March 27 at an off-campus residence, U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials detained a graduate student enrolled on our Twin Cities campus. We are actively working to gather more details about this incident.
In cases like this, the University takes steps to ensure students are connected to internal resources and support, such as Student Legal Service and International Student and Scholar Services.
The University had no prior knowledge of this incident and did not share any information with federal authorities before it occurred.
It is important to note that our campus departments of public safety, including UMPD, do not enforce federal immigration laws, and our officers do not inquire about an individual's immigration status. Their focus remains on public safety, fostering trust and maintaining strong relationships across the University community.
As we work to gather more information, please know the University has information, resources and FAQs about federal immigration policies available on the Rapid Response website.
We understand how distressing this news may be for members of our University community. If you or someone you know needs mental health support during this time, please visit mentalhealth.umn.edu, which connects you to resources across all five campuses.

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow. She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.
Busting unions? In the year 2025? No thanks — I know whose side I’m on. See you in court, Mr. President.

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us. We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.
