Itβs not just Medicaid funding theyβre withholding to MN. Itβs food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Supreme Courtβs Michigan pipeline case is about Native rights and fossil fuels, not just technical legal procedure
The issue in front of the US Supreme Court is seemingly mundane, about federal or state jurisdiction. But it is actually much bigger, encompassing some key questions of the 21st century.
The Supreme Court today heard arguments on a case about an oil pipeline under the Great Lakes.
While the immediate issue is about jurisdiction, the court decision could shape Native land rights, statesβ ability to protect waterways, and the future of fossil fuels.

This is really an instance of a very longstanding trend where secular pundits end up unwittingly aligned with fundamentalists in treating the crudest and most extreme version of any faith as the genuine article and everything else as somehow inauthentic.

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk
Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.
In Minneapolis, for every story detailing the fallout of the federal crackdown, there are as many stories of people like Bri, a mom donating breastmilk for babies whose mothers are detained by ICE.

No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes.

ICE targeted off-duty police officers in Twin Cities, local police say
The police chief of one Minneapolis suburb said all of the officers who had been stopped there by Immigration and Customs Enforcement were people of color.
Mark Bruley, police chief of a Minneapolis suburb, said an off-duty police officer had been βboxed β¦ inβ by ICE agents, who demanded with guns drawn to see paperwork.
βSheβs a U.S. citizen, and clearly would not have any paperwork,β he said.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry.
If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party.
But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence.
A stain on our Congress.
