St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?
The White House announced a drawdown of the sweeping immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Now, communities are grappling with what comes next, and schools may face the longest road back to normal. https://to.pbs.org/4cHGq7w
Minnesota needs impartial investigations into the shootings of American citizens on our streets. Trump’s left hand cannot investigate his right hand. The families of the deceased deserve better.

rep zack stephenson is confident in a DFL house majority this year. “when you look around the state and you see the energy and activism ordinary people are feeling responding to this federal attack… you’re mistaken if you think all those folks are just going back to normal life when ICE leaves.”
A 76-year-old veteran and nurse was tackled and detained at the site of Alex Pretti's killing. Agents told him his phone was evidence in an investigation into him assaulting an officer.

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.
🚨 Epstein survivors release this powerful PSA in advance of the Super Bowl demanding answers from the Justice Department. This is the Super Bowl ad every American should see. Spread it everywhere.

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol.
An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.
Push through your fear and they don't control you any more! And many people are in places where they can't push their fear - they're old, frail, have children, have people depending on them. So those of use who have to less to be fearful of should push even harder to stand in front of them.

This election is important especially if you live in MN HD-64A... show up and vote for Meg Luger-Nikolai today to make a statement that what is happening in Minnesota right now isn't okay to you.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.
Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.
Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c

Very cool—thanks for the update! Today I got gassed by the federal government two times within a few blocks of my house
I'm just spitballing here, but I bet people in Minneapolis would be nicer to ICE agents if the ICE agents would stop harassing, assaulting, kidnapping, and murdering their neighbors.
"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?"
A list of ideas!
A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.
The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back
