Science, technology, and neuroscience educator, mostly retired but still kibitzing. Into cartooning, maker spaces, and storytelling. And because life demands it, politics.
- Reposted by Conn McQuinnI think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
- “If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
- Reposted by Conn McQuinnI believe a lot of people on here haven't a clue how U.S. Gov't works. If your political party does not hold the House th Senate or the Presidency you have no political power at all. You can slow down legislation thru administrative procedures but you can not stop this legislation. Elections matter!
- Reposted by Conn McQuinnDon’t listen to people who say all politicians are crooks, or that everyone lies. You know who says that? Crooks & liars. They see in others what they are themselves. But most people aren’t crooks & liars. Most people are decent. And we have had enough of these crooks & liars

- In regard to the debate about the training of ICE/CBP agents, I have an aphorism for you: "Culture eats training for breakfast." Individual behavior is mainly a product of organizational culture, which will negate prior training. ICE/CPB have well documented toxic cultures. THAT is the problem.

- Reposted by Conn McQuinnThe killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

- A light in the darkness in suburban Seattle, in solidarity with our friends in Minnesota. Defund, disband, and prosecute anyone and everyone involved in these crimes against our communities.
- Reposted by Conn McQuinnThis looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability. Joining ICE does not give you license to murder. The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.

- Reposted by Conn McQuinnDonald Trump spread lies and conspiracy theories to his followers to make them believe the 2020 election was rigged against him, then incited an angry mob to attack the U.S. Capitol to stop the election certification. These are Special Counsel Jack Smith’s findings.
- We're about to see a lot of clamoring for the Democrats to shut the government down. This talk always seems to ignore that no group that has ever initiated a government shutdown has ever gotten what they wanted.

- Quick reminder the even if the 25th Amendment were invoked, the president can dispute it and is immediately reinstated. If the Cabinet invokes it again, Congress votes to resolve the conflict, and it takes 2/3 in both houses to remove. It’s a higher threshold than impeachment. 1/2
- I propose that we call what happened to Renee Nicole Good a "Kavanaugh Killing."
- Reposted by Conn McQuinnAmanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
- Reposted by Conn McQuinnI’m joining Rep. @robinkelly.house.gov to introduce articles of impeachment against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and will use every lever available to end the terror ICE has unleashed on our communities. Stay loud.
