Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..."

Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis.
Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

& he was a nurse who worked for the VA w/ no previous criminal anything but traffic tix‼️
🕊️

Holy shit.

He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him.

His hands were on the pavement when he was shot.

He never had his hand on a weapon.

Cold blooded murder.

He was protecting the woman‼️🤬🤬🤬🤬

He has not seen the videos apparently. He was recording them on his phone, & they did not like it so they took him out

Several “officers” shot him while he was motionless on the ground after the first shot.

They did shoot him.

Murderers, again. Which ICE agent shot him while he lay defenseless on the ground?

Thank you from -18F Minnesota for this short beautiful ocean view without any masked terrorist kidnapping children. Need to remember the thugs are not everywhere. Stay warm out there.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

The US has officially terminated its partnership with the World Health Organization.

Senator, this is embarrassingly tone deaf considering what your fellow citizens are enduring.

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

The Hmong have been in the Twin Cities since the late 1970’s. They came as refugees fleeing from communism after having HELPED the CIA and our troops during the Vietnam war. Most of them are now US Citizens and were born here. Why the hell are they ICE targets ?

Dr. King believed our democracy would only make sense when every child was fed, every mind was educated, and every community had dignity and freedom.

That vision is still unfolding. So, on this MLK Day, let us recommit to the work of building the world he dared to imagine.

i wish i could still buy things at the prices i used to complain about

US Senate passes bill to boost federal science spending after White House sought major cuts The U.S. Senate voted on Thursday to approve billions of dollars in funding for federal science agencies, rejecting deep cuts proposed by President Donald Trump in space and other areas.

Wow! Yay! The Senate just rejected Trump’s proposed science cuts, voting 82–15 to boost funding for NOAA, NASA, and the NSF. The bill already passed the House 397–28. Strong bipartisan support for science still exists.
