Meet Minnesota Bathrobe Lady Sam Stroozas of MPR News | Minnesota Public Radio Earlier this week, an unexpected and fast-moving incident unfolded in St. Paul, Minnesota involving both federal and local law enforcement. As crowds gathered and questions mounted, one of our MPR New...

Someone named Tim Hornstein is responsible for this and it should be an MPR billboard campaign or a mural on the headquarters building.

So many victims — and heroes here. I’m in awe of Zena Stenvik’s commitment but especially her ability to communicate: when I’ve heard her interviewed, or testifying, she’s been clear as a bell.

“Typically about 10 to 15 cars and their new owners drive off the lot each month at Los Partners Auto Sales in Worthington … since early January, it’s been three.”

There are 70,000 people in DHS concentration camps. 3000 are children. Close the camps. Being our neighbors home.

"Heckuva job there Brownie".

GOP = Ghastly Old Pedophiles.

The problem with them choosing this as their primary talking point is that nearly every in Minnesota personally knows someone who has been taken by ICE. And they all had either a spotless criminal record or an entirely non-violent one.

These are lies. They are going to lose. MN will not quit.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

ICE is having a devastating impact on our small businesses here in Minneapolis. Businesses are having to close because of the terror ICE is inflicting on our community.

Now is the time to reach out to your federal representative to let them know you don’t support funding DHS.

A group of Buddhist monks has finally reached Washington, D.C., on foot, completing a 15-week trek for peace from Texas apnews.com/article/budd...

Take 5 minutes to help MN now. Check on a neighbor. Share a resource. Donate, volunteer, speak up. Small acts add up fast. People helping people keeps communities strong.

From the New York Times: A number of people working at hunger relief organizations and in education, who asked not to be identified for the record for fear of retribution, said the food instability and lack of access to social services are not simply a byproduct of the ICE crackdown but rather part of the agency's strategy, essentially weaponizing food. Among other tactics, they said, the agency is tracking food delivery volunteers and staking out donation distribution centers. Many of the affected families are simultaneously struggling with new restrictions to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that went into effect nationwide on Jan. 1. "This administration has politicized hunger," said Joe Walker, the director of nutritional services for the Sanneh Foundation, a local youth charity. ICE did not respond to a request for comment.

I’m so grateful for all of you feeding people in crisis; we‘re fighting monsters, and we won’t stop fighting them

Haha that means he didn't watch kid rock

This is how you do it folks

Fred Willard, hilarious.

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Opinion | ICE and Minnesota Have Pushed the U.S. Closer to Autocracy Measuring America’s slide toward democratic erosion.

The @nytimes.com editorial board published an index tracking 12 categories of democratic erosion in October. The ICE crackdown has pushed America closer toward an autocracy.

ICE took the husband of one of our beloved daycare teachers. She needs funds to bring him back. If you’re able, any help is appreciated

There's nothing more fundamental to our democracy than the freedom of speech and the freedom to speak out about our government.

Minnesota refugees and immigrants are hiding in ‘a prison of fear’ Across Minnesota, thousands of immigrants and refugees are staying home from work, church and school to avoid ICE agents.

”I am a prisoner in my apartment,” said the 30-year-old North St. Paul resident. “I am hiding in the shadows, not because I have committed a crime, but because the streets of Minnesota have begun to look terrifyingly similar to the war zone I escaped.” www.startribune.com/minnesota-re...

Trump at Natl Prayer Breakfast: "Between us & them, we have 68% of world's oil. I know that doesn't mean too much to people of great religion. I was just talking to great leader from El Salvador & he said, 'Man that was some attack! I've never seen anything like that.' That was a hell of an attack"

Trump's pumping agents onto ICE’s payroll at record speed.

He's giving them a mere 47 days of training (Trump is the 47th President).

And he's sending them onto the streets with loaded guns and telling them they have full immunity.

Congress should not be funding ICE’s abuses.

Re-upping for the morning crew — thanks to everyone who donated last night, we’re at 60% of goal. A friend messaged me about sending over $100 from an overfunded mutual aid campaign he ran: “Just passing sandbags in this metaphorical flood.” That socked me in the soul. Love us so much.

Sadly, I have a personal ask: ICE kidnapped a staffer who works at my grandson’s daycare this weekend along with two other family members. Can you help the extended families with legal costs & famity support? It would mean a lot to me. I’m just sick about this. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...
