A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I made a promise to Alexโs parents to continue to tell his story.
An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Reports are saying ICE plans to be at the Super Bowl at Levi Stadium. Would this be happening in a red state if Kid Rock was the halftime show?

And if she wonโt, she must be held accountable and impeached by Congress.

Little Liam Ramos stood facing an ICE vehicle with his cartoon blue wooly hat. A state-sponsored terrorist ICE agent is holding him by his rucksack.
A reminder that Liam Ramos, the son of legal residents in Minnesota, is still being held in a Texas prison.
A five year old little boy - and Americaโs global reputation - now scarred for life.

Voting in far-right politicians didn't go too well during the 1930s.
It cost 45 million dead.

Across America and the world, people are realizing itโs not possible to appease Americaโs dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him โ and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

Noem:
"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."
Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.
Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

PLEASE WATCH: Video posted so far from todayโs killing in Minneapolis shows the victim recording video with his smartphone, coming to the aid of two women and trying to stand between them and an ICE agent. He does not show a gun at all. Then, I count 10 shots.

Back from the dead...and really not happy about what is happening today.
