This video warrants reposting again & again. ICE is not slowing down in MN. They’re just changing tactics that you must be aware of.
Please, please listen and pass this on.

ICE says a handcuffed man w/ no criminal record got 8 skull fractures running into a wall.

Doctors disagree.

Hospitals encrypt messages; patients fear getting care.

HOSPITALS ARE NOT SAFE

Call Senators.

Demand investigations.

Stop funding this.

Keep protesting and filming ICE. ✊🏼

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

How To Help if You are Outside Minnesota Last edited January 22, 2026 I’m going to assume that if you’re reading this, you more or less understand the situation in Minnesota and I don’t have to explain it to you! That sa…

Many people have been asking how they can help Minnesotans, and how they can help our neighbors who are being impacted by ICE. Here are some ideas from @naomikritzer.bsky.social to get you started.

Just thinking about that episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is kidnapped by the Cardassians, and they try to break his spirit by showing him four bright lights. How many lights are there, they ask? Picard answers: Four. But each time he answers, he's tortured. No, Gul Madred says. There are FIVE lights. There are four lights. Gul Madred knows it, Picard knows it, we know it. But his captors keep insisting: There are FIVE lights in front of you. This is not a post about Star Trek.

Forever etched into my memory.

Post your favorite “The Lord of The Rings” character. Wrong answers only.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I’d like to know the answer to that, too. I don’t think Gov. Pritzker would approve of that.

Trump isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s openly bragging about turning the U.S. military on American cities.

Gov. Pritzker says President Trump threatened 'to go to war' with Chicago in social media post Responding to a parody social media post by President Donald Trump on Saturday, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said the president threatened "to go to war with an American city."

Trump Family Amasses $5 Billion Fortune After Crypto Launch The WLFI token traded far above its previous value, confirming—at least on paper—a huge windfall for the president and his sons.

This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
