Here is an interesting article in The Atlantic.

Opinion | Bondi's 'ransom note' to Minnesota shows Trump's real game there | Opinion — USA TODAY Pam Bondi's letter doesn't expressly offer a pullback on ICE's invasion if Minnesota plays ball. But it's easy to read between the lines.

Here is the real reason why Trump is targetting MN. If he wins, we all lose.

Here are our old and new state flags. We are the North Star State.

Yes, if Italy is willing to accept the threat of more tariffs. But, remember TACO

Minnesota calls itself “The North” because it fits: our motto is L’Étoile du Nord (“Star of the North”), and it signals who we are—Great Lakes/upper prairie, winter-built, distinct from the generic “Midwest” stereotype. It’s about claiming an identity.

We are the North.

Um, JD Vance Tweeted About The Killing Of Alex Pretti, And Now People Are Calling Him A JD Vance whined about protesters demonstrating outside of a restaurant where ICE agents ate.

JD Vance (AKA: James Donald Bowman, James David Hamel, James David Vance) is depicable human being, although calling him human is an insult to the rest of us.

Opinion | Masked thugs, sneering elites and terrified citizens: a picture of the US today. We used to have a name for this — Guardian US Truly, I am the country’s biggest fan. But in the spirit of free speech its leaders apparently love, here’s a few things the rest of the world needs them to know, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Let MN be famous for awful weather and “Minnesota Nice.”
But nice isn’t soft—and we won’t accept ICE/CBP-style crackdowns in our streets.

We are the North

Amen. I wonder if they can be barred from entering Italy?

Tariffs—traditionally, and under the Constitution—are Congress’s job. But when Congress acts like a rubber stamp for the executive instead of an independent branch of government, the legislative check disappears.

Everyone, including Republicans, should vote them out…including some Democrats.

Do you think a (large) number of ICE agents are Proud Boys, Boogaloos, 3%ers, Patriot Front, J6ers, etc.

I don’t think they are afraid of arrest because Trump will just pardon them.

Please answer Yes or No.

Fortunately—or unfortunately—I’m not in Minnesota this month.

Fortunately, because I’ve escaped both the cold and the violence.

Unfortunately, because I can’t be there to peacefully protest ICE and what feel like Gestapo-style tactics.

Kyle Rittenhouse breaks silence on Alex Pretti shooting and it’s not going well — PennLive.com Kyle Rittenhouse’s return to social media continues, and it continues to be a rough go for the guy.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a fucking hypocritical moron. And he’s a crybaby. Wah, wah, wah.

If anyone should have been shot it is him. Because I am not a violent person, I would never think of doing this. Two wrongs don’t make a right…ever.

Canada’s Carney Tells Trump ‘I Meant What I Said’ in Davos — The Wall Street Journal The conversation comes days after Trump threatened Canada with 100% tariffs

Tariffs aren’t diplomacy. So why is Trump using them as his default way to pressure allies?

US to send ICE agents to Winter Olympics, prompting Italian anger — BBC News The US federal agency says it will not play an immigration role at February's event in Milan-Cortina.

Why the hell is the US sending ICE (IMMIGRATION and Customs Enforcement) to the Winter Olympics in MILAN, ITALY? If protection of high ranking US officials (Vance and Rubio) is needed, shouldn’t it be the Secret Service rather than ICE?

Please help me understand.

“I live in Minnesota. I voted for Trump. I’m a conservative… he had a 2A Right to have a gun — They’re shooting white people, Black people, everyone… wake the fuck up. Stop defending these motherfuckers. Martial law is right on our doorstep.”

Tom Homan legal history:

Criminal investigation allegations (bribery / “cash-for-contracts”)

Ethics / disclosure and conflicts questions (non-criminal oversight)

Civil lawsuits naming him (typically “official capacity”)

Since Trump took over all investigations ended. What a surprise.

Wow. A Republican with real principles. We need more like him.

We are the North

Barack!!!!

ICE boss Bovino said
says that Renee Good and Alex Pretti tried to kill ICE agents.

I call BULLSHIT. I think most of us saw both videos.

Richard Pryor said it best.

Minnesotans will not take this sitting on our hands. We will win. We shall overcome.

Thanks for including me. Followed all and Reposted.

Ny the way…Fuck ICE

Here is a video of today’s shooting. Kristi Noem said “The facts of this situation: this individual showed up to an law enforcement operation with a weapon and dozens of rounds of ammunition. He wasn’t there to peacefully protest.”

Watch and decide for yourself. BTW: He had a carry permit.

Can I get an AMEN?
