Rep. Adelita Grijalva was pepper-sprayed by ICE agents during a raid last week.

Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.

If Trump's thugs can do this to a member of Congress, they can do it to you.

HOPE WALZ: โ€œWhat world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.โ€

She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling โ€œR*tard!โ€ at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.

ICE detain U.S. citizen for 24 hoursโ€”mock Somali woman's hijab & touch her inappropriately.

"She was pleading with themโ€”but they ended up sexually assaulting her," said cousin.

Agents had jumped out of 2 cars & zip tied her hands while she was running errands at the mall.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trumpโ€™s birthday.

โ€œThe president knows he is failing, and so he is reverting to what he knows best: trying to divert attention by stoking bigotry,โ€ Rep. Ilhan Omar writes about Trumpโ€™s recent remarks on Somali Americans.

"It is a creepy obsession." Rep. Ilhan Omar responds to Trump's personal attacks. "It's actually very frightening to have that level of attention from somebody who should be focused on doing the business of the American people and not just creepily watching what one member of Congress is doing."

Survey ranks Minnesota as eighth-safest state in America WalletHub ranks Minnesota as the 8th safest state in America, based on crime levels, road deaths, occupational fatalities and natural disasters.

ICYMI: Minnesota just ranked as one of the safest states in the nation.

Making Minnesota the best place to live starts with safety.

Thatโ€™s why I signed the largest public safety bill in state history, and why Iโ€™m glad to see that work paying off today.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for thisโ€ผ๏ธ#Abolish ๐ŸงŠ๐ŸงŠ๐ŸงŠ

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesnโ€™t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit โ€” all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesnโ€™t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

Itโ€™s not about what this country can or canโ€™t afford.

Itโ€™s about priorities.

An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say

"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

The red paint is expensive and uses polymer as a binder. As it gets worn down it releases micro plastics into the environment.
