As @skyeperryman.bsky.social says: We need to connect the dots. At the heart of the power grab in MN is a power grab to take our nation away from the people.

Our work this year is to protect our neighbors and to protect our nation. We must connect the dots. What is happening in MN is not about immigration β it is a power grab. Grateful for the millions of Americans who are pushing back. Itβs not too late to be on the right side of history and humanity.

On the ground video evidence in MN shows that our federal government has killed another person in broad daylight.
For anyone who is sitting on the sidelines or worse, enabling this adminβs reign of terror, the regime wants to deny what you are seeing with your own eyes.

Vance defends ICE tactics in Minnesota as backlash grows
The vice president said the goal of his visit was to understand how to "tone down the temperature."
Trumpβs surge of federal agents into Minneapolis was meant to assert federal authority over Democratic cities β but Minnesotans didnβt buckle. Instead of submission, there have been mass protests, economic blackouts, and lawsuits to stop the operation. This test of federal control is backfiring.

I've said it before and will say again: it is the people β more than anything β that will save us. Thank you to the people of MN for showing up and serving as an example of peaceful protest and solidarity.

ICE ripping this 5-year-old away from his family epitomizes the Trump-Vance administrationβs agenda: cruel and unlawful.
As a mother, and as an American, I'm appalled. These unconstitutional, life-altering interactions with ICE must not go unchallenged.

Trump Backs Down on Insurrection Act as Democrats Take the Offensive

The President has created a crisis in MN and using violence against people. There is no basis for invoking the Insurrection Act.

This admin is being driven by extremists like Stephen Miller who have no concept of the law.
President Trump has already had to pull the National Guard out of cities because the court found the deployment unlawful.
If he tries to use the Insurrection Act, weβll be ready to hold him accountable.

What is the Trump-Vance admin hiding? Why do they continue to block members of Congress from accessing ICE facilities?
The answer is clear: what ICE is doing is harmful, and this admin does not want checks and balances.
We look forward to seeking answers in court.

We wonβt stop fighting until access is restored.
The lawlessness of this admin and the weaponization of our cities-like that which led to the killing of a US citizen this week-will not go unanswered. We the People know our rights & we will work every single day to defend them.
