We decided to move forward, intuiting that our audience would benefit from a space of loving community. I told a story that night that is my love letter to Minnesota. #IceOUT #minnesota #iceoutmn

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

The stores in my neighborhood have sentries at them--young hipsters or older white women--standing guard to keep the store and neighbors safe. I can't stop crying...about the fact we need to do this but also about the beauty of people stepping up in this way. I love this Minnesota.

The Laken-Riley Act stripped immigrants of due process and unleashed the horror we are living in MN. MAGA leader Tom Emmer loves this chaos and knows this vote led to it. And yet Angie Craig still stands by her vote.

Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan leads Rep. Angie Craig by 12 points in #MNSen Dem primary, per PPP poll for pro-Flanagan group.

Also shows ICE becoming a key issue β€” 70% would abolish it. Neither candidate has called for that.

In this moment, we need to stand together in solidarity. There is no one in our community more trusted and beloved than our nurses.

The Minnesota Nurses Association is no exception. I'm honored and humbled to have earned their endorsement.

Minneapolis ICE shooting becomes a flashpoint in Senate race as Democrats tangle over immigration Debate over the fatal incident quickly spurred divisions nationally about who was at fault. Closer to home, it became a key proving ground for Democrats running for U.S. Senate.

Sorry, Congresswoman Craig, but when your first vote out of the gate under Trump 2 was to strip due process from immigrants, you showed us who you were. When last June you reiterated your support for ICE in a vile resolution praising them, you showed us who you were. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.

Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

We are horrified and shaken in the wake of the mass shooting at a Chanukah event in Bondi this evening, which has left at least ten people dead and injured many more.

This is the first night of Chanukah when we gather with loved ones and friends to light the Chanukiah. 1/4

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.

Now you're upset?

Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are β€œimmediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

I’ve always said, if you’re against undocumented immigrants, live by your values and #boycottfood. Now Trump policies could be making that boycott a reality. prospect.org/politics/tru...

Hey HB folks, heads up. A local white nationalist with a history of violence, Ryan Sanchez, is holding a vigil for Charlie Kirk on the pier at 7PM. He’s been calling for violence against the left for a long time and has been actively recruiting. Advise you stay away, nothing good will happen.
