If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

When they say Me Too "went too far," they mean "got too close."

I was once within 30 feet of one. Terrifying.

I can’t emphasize enough that the press (and likely our national elected officials) believe people in Minneapolis are doing all this to try to get their attention.

But actually, we’re resisting this way because we lost faith that anyone would come to save us but each other.

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being β€œhe can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Fuck you, coward. No more β€œstrongly worded statements.”

You should be ON THE LINES.

Not β€œICE out of MN.” Defund and disband. Impeach. Remove.

Be a fucking leader for a change.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

I am quite certain the pearl-clutching MAGAs who fainted over Mayor Fry’s f-word are going to be outraged.

Oh, wait. Guess not.

As a citizen of a state that has long paid the feds much more than we’ve received in federal funding, I hereby approve of ending any payments by the State of California towards federal efforts at keeping red states afloat until this POS is removed from office.

How about YOU do something? Not β€œreform,” you fucking coward. Defund them.

Absolutely pathetic, you and Schumer both. Step down and GTF out of the way for someone who will FIGHT.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.

So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. πŸ˜‚
