Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

Not a judgment and IDK how you overcome it but...it's striking that every time a fresh national news story drops about ICE in the Twin Cities (ProPublica today), a lot of people respond with "Wow, I didn't realize it was that bad" and everyone in MN goes "Yes and it's a hundred times worse"

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Also, if they've detained 1500, that should account for a significant amount of the "worst of the worst" projected undocumented immigrants in MN. Why do we need 3,000 armed thugs going after the remaining few - if any?

This post is not about a legal administration. 2 of 2

Can someone investigate what judges are signing the warrants for immigration-related arrests, & under what circumstances. If ICE claims 1500 immigration detainees in Mpls, then there should be 1500 signed warrants. 1 of 2.

Shitty headline from Reuters promoting Nazis.

Shitty headline from Reuters promoting Nazis.

Shame on @reuters.com for this headline that only serves to embolden and entice. “Gee, sounds like something I’d like to join.” We’re screwed.

I Question America. On July 5, 1852, Frederick Douglass spoke in Rochester, New York at an event commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

This is bullshit. These evil monsters of the D*rump admin. sent an email to Sr. citizens w/n hrs. of the bill passage. It’s what they’re doing w. the data DOGE collects. We have a BIG fight on our hands, & I’m NOT quitting. @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social @tomemmer01.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov
