Yeah I know about the murders but what are Americans doing about THAT? And the fascism problem?! Why there isn’t a general strike happening right now - baffles the mind.

Until they rig the elections.

It takes time to build parallel systems of support. Asking "WhY hAsN'T sOmEoNe DoNe SoMeThIng‽" From behind your keyboard is not helping those systems that are being built.

It would be funny if every registered voter were to open carry at the polls.

…and live from New York it’s SATURDAY NIGHT LIIIIIIVE!!!!!

On that note:

Blocking new enrollments.

So if Grandma is already on oxygen, she's fine. But if Grandma's doctor decides she needs to START supplemental O2, well, too bad, your grandma is clearly trying to scam the system and will need to wait 6 months (at least).

Some for prosthesis. Terrible time for people to be losing limbs. Clearly there must be a significant black market for prosthetic legs, funded entirely by our tax dollars. (/s in case not obvious).

The Republicans lost control of Minnesota back in the 1980s for state wide offices. The Twin Cites metro area holds the majority of votes and therefore most of the power in this state.

Politically, the DFL has long abandoned the outstate.

Hopefully with trebuchets, oxygen containers, and a lighter.

Like I said, Grandma can just breathe deeper, and I guess we'll start seeing YouTube videos on "how to carve your very own pirate-style wooden peg leg, using common household items!"

Kind of a shit article. Just parrots the Trump administration's claims, with no fact-checking or comments from anyone with actual knowledge of the Medicaid system.

The truth is, the courts will obviously reverse this punitive action. The fact they are doing it anyway shows they care more about hurting Americans who resist Trump than focusing on the economy, world relations, housing prices, etc...

Need some sort of wick as well. Maybe John.

So, I guess we're now doing embargos inside the country as well. Fascism really is just colonialism turned inward.

Face it, this is a fascist nation. They're going to starve us into obedience.

Some of you really need to lighten up about voting third party.

First, as someone who voted for Kamala despite the noise of protest, and as someone who shared your same petty sentiment during the initial shock of the loss (the longer you hold it, the more pathetic because of how little it matters now), I wonder if that's really the best you can come up with in defense of Democrats during 2024? After failing to admit it was their fault and not the voters? Yeah, they got rid of Biden, but not because of their constituency, but because it was threatening their positions of power as career politicians. They squandered the momentum and revitalization of the party when putting in Kamala after they had her mimic Biden's campaign and failing to admit that the Gaza Genocide was a major proponent for her loss after the fact, to the point that they hid it officially from the public.

Besides blaming it on individual protest voters, and thinking that was enough to really make a difference, especially after knowing this information now (some real dummy shit if you do), you're going to discount the number of disaffected, cynical part of the population who didn't vote because they don't believe in our system anymore? Since the 90's or 80's even? How do you explain the record numbers for showing up for someone like Mamdani to vote, who had explicit beliefs and prpgressive, populist policies, who's approval rating is going up because he's implementing those policies? Showing the world what he left flank of politics is really capable of?

You fail to understand the real sociological implications of the failure of Democrats, and you're delusional if you think the voting for the lesser evil is enough of a standard to motivate people to vote.

They are currently planning the 2nd general strike... Minneapolis was nominated for the nobel prize precisely because of how effective their resistance has been and continues to be. There are thousands of private signal chats all over the state constantly organizing and responding directly to action on the ground. Your comment just seems like defeatist barely veiled concern trolling.

Another US American just tried to kill trump like last week

Why would you vote for a party which has never and will never hold federal office?

We aren't going to get to have any elections that count because of protest votes. Meanwhile the number of current and upcoming dead kids from loss of usaid alone is well into 6 figures. We killed both children and democracy in America because we are stupid.

I agree, it’s multi faceted, and yeah, the dems suck too. I just feel people have agency in this, and sometime, when faced with a difficult decision, adults need to make the best choice. I’m a parent and have to make all kinds of shitty decisions, often involving actual shit. But I’m an adult, and I know that a shitty decision that ultimately supports a good outcome, is still the right one.

I’m 100% in agreement that the dems failed, but so did the electorate.

The candidates job isn't to teach you that allowing Hitler to come to power is a worst case scenario nor is it their fault if you fail to realize that. The candidate got one vote just like you

We can't do that

• I actually like the people I vote for.
• I'm too stubborn to be peer pressured into voting with the herd.
• I'm in a solid color state, and my state votes late in the primaries. I get more leeway with voting third party than someone in a swing state.
• Third parties appreciate every vote they get.

Don't forget that Trump wants to claw back mail in ballots. He's spewing a lot of the same old rhetoric he's always been.

Not looking forward to having to wait in line with my kids jumping up and down going on and on about how bored they are, then probably running off and getting into trouble and forcing me to leave line and chase after them.

Not to mention the voter intimidation that will absolutely happen.

You are vastly overestimating the average braincells-per-capita in the red states.

The oil companies spent a generation teaching you that it was individual people making individually better choices. They did this to keep the same old status quo going while you blame your friends and neighbors for not recycling hard enough.

And just like before, the propaganda woks on you, where you blame those who control almost nothing in the electoral system, and give those who have all the power in the electoral system a pass.

History isn't going to remember your insistence, that "voters" just needed to do better, kindly. You were wrong about how elections work, and it handed the nation to the fascists

Says on there that was for the last day of the last month (January).

Idk man I honestly doubt that's true.

These people that support trump and friends are fucking feeble minded idiots.

You will show them graphs and even replay this exact speech straight from Jizz Dicks mouth and they will hear something on Fox news about how a school is letting a furry kid use a litter box for the bathroom and they're coming for your children next!!

And then they will straight up, 100% vote for this shit again. Seriously. It would be a fascinating case study if I didn't have to be directly affected by the absurd stupidity of it all day to day.

My apathy and cynicism grows exponentially every single day.

Looking forward to my poll beating.

Only way to lose is to be afraid.

We need to get them out of office and into prison as fast as possible. A government bound by no laws will start murdering thousands of us just to make a point. ICE has already murdered almost a dozen americans, and ZERO of them have even been investigated.

They are sanctioning the state of Minnesota like it’s a foreign narco or terrorist state

If ICE Apes start physically abusing people in line, the rest of the line needs to defend every citizen's right to vote, and jump on the ICE Apes. I don't care how many weapons they have, a carful of Apes is going to go down fast against an angry mob of true Patriots.

The only thing any of them consume that’s close to actual journalism and not propaganda is ESPN and the year to year cycles of so many Americans in general are governed by the seasonal ups and downs of the NFL/NBA/MLB/NCAA. Everything is a sport and winning is all that matters because competition is the faux foundational philosophy

Again? Did they forget their last court slap down?

Something non-Minnesotans might have missed: Prosecutors from the Minnesota US attorney's office have been quitting en masse, thanks to political pressure from Pam Bondi and others

This has certainly hampered fraud investigations, in addition to harming other prosecutorial efforts

In short, the federal government is hampering fraud prosecutions while punishing Minnesotans for the fraud

It's unlikely they would have the ability to completely cheat the election at the level Putin does. They'll simply thumb the scale in battleground states

Minnesota will be a fucking landslide. Republicans are going to get slaughtered

My baby is losing healthcare because of this.
Edit: This was a bit reactionary. Based on what I’ve learned, this will not directly affect us. Still, it affects millions others for political motives

May all these monsters in this administration hang from their necks soon.

Oh this is just murder, isnt it

With extra steps

Fucking MAGA losers are going to murder more Americans. Minnesota is a contributor state and should withhold payment to the federal government. In fact, all the Blue States should do the same.

That's going way too easy on them, they don't deserve such a quick painless death.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Hope things work out for you and your baby.

Trump and all the other ghouls in congress are monsters.

Very true, it needs to be painful, it’s needs to be embarrassing for them, and it needs to be public.

I don't think they really care. See response to the tariffs ruling.

they do for most, it's just words from fascists that hold no meaning or value.

Should be more

It's a great idea, but the problem is people file their federal taxes as individuals and pay the IRS directly, so how are the blue states supposed to withhold the money?

Give em the old William Wallace

Wallace was taken from the hall to the Tower of London, then stripped naked and dragged through the city at the heels of a horse to the Elms at Smithfield. He was hanged, drawn and quartered—strangled by hanging, but released while he was still alive, emasculated, eviscerated (with his bowels burned before him), beheaded, then cut into four parts. Wallace's head was dipped in tar and placed on a spike atop London Bridge
