The will of mainstream media to normalize Donald Trumps blatant racist remarks and bizarre behaviour is whatโ€™s killing the USA. Until ABC, NBC, and CBS start exposing his fabrications and insane rhetoric for what they are, youโ€™re fucked.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. Itโ€™s like a corporation in bankruptcyโ€”either dissolved or reorganized. Theyโ€™re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

Theyโ€™re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

If you can, keep showing up for your community by shopping local and supporting the small businesses that anchor our main streets and enrich the cultural fabric of Minnesota.

Noem's lies justifying murderous ICE tactics are melting in the heat of truth Heavily armed ICE and Border patrol agents acting like packs of wolves are terrorizing neighborhoods in Minnesota and all across the country.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Republicans in Congress could put an end to this national nightmare today if they wanted to. But they donโ€™t. And that makes them accomplices.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Thereโ€™s too much time between now and the midterms. Either the military needs to not follow his illegal, unconstitutional, international law violating actions OR Congress needs to STOP him.We are at a breaking point.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.

I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Let's talk about the midterms.

ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.

Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

Pew Research Institute (2023):

โ€ข Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

โ€ข Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

โ€ข Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

The Republicans in Congress swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to faithfully discharge the duties of their office.

They arenโ€™t honoring that oath.
