It was flat-out murder.
Thank God for the patriots of @ICEgov — we have your back 100%. You are SAVING the country.
Shame on the leadership of Minnesota — and the lunatics in the street.
ICE > MN

Cynics and defeatists share the same story as authoritarians do: that nothing is worth trying, the conclusion is foregone, hope is naïve, and attempts to resist are too small or futile.
Don’t listen to them. Do not give up. Try. A better world is possible. We will win. We must.

A veteran whom Alex Pretti cared for in the ICU earlier this month: "It was heartbreaking to see the video. It was heartbreaking to know when I found out it was him. What was worse was listening to Kristi Noem talk about him the way she did."

FIFA must move the World Cup from the USA for three reasons.
•75 countries have visa bans preventing fans from travelling.
•Ticket prices are absurd.
•ICE agents present a real and present threat to fan safety.

The Trump administration is disgusting!
Yesterday, ICE raided a home on St. Paul’s East Side. Their target was ChongLy Scott Thao, an elderly Hmong American man.
He’s a U.S. citizen with no criminal record.
Armed ICE agents broke down the door without presenting a valid warrant, entered with guns drawn, and handcuffed him in front of his 5-year-old grandson, who was left crying and traumatized.
This happened in sub-zero conditions, with wind chills near -30°F. Thao was dragged outside wearing only shorts, a blanket, and Crocs and marched through the snow.
ICE then drove him around for nearly an hour, questioned and fingerprinted him, confirmed he was a citizen and not the person they were looking for… and dropped him back at home.
No apology. No explanation. No accountability.
Is this what you voted for?

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol just illegally arrested a U.S. citizen… a TEENAGER… in Richfield, Minnesota.
The teen was working at Target when agents tackled him and arrested him, while his passport was in his pocket, fully identifying himself as a U.S. citizen.
None of it mattered.
Why? Because he looked Latino.
When a coworker asked who to call, he said, heartbreakingly: “my mom.”
Think about that. Your teenage son goes to work, and Border Patrol kidnaps him.
This isn’t an isolated incident. ICE and Border Patrol have repeatedly illegally arrested U.S. citizens, especially in Minnesota. And after agents murdered a U.S. citizen who tried to drive away from illegal detention, this should outrage every single American.
U.S. citizens do not have to prove their citizenship. Yet, ICE and Border Patrol agents are routinely violating the Constitution, demanding proof anyway… and even refusing to accept drivers licenses or real IDs.
And now? Even a passport doesn’t matter.
This isn’t enforcement… it’s targeting Americans based on fear and appearance, treating citizens like criminals in their own country.
When will this end? When will the government stop stripping citizens of their rights and labeling them terrorists for simply existing?

Multiple indictments and half a billion dollars in civil liability later, pretty much the only person who can say they were better off four years ago is Donald Trump.

Today, millions of Americans voted to make Donald Trump the Republican nominee for president of the United States. I’m calling on them to reflect on the following:
You just voted for a man who:
1. Relentlessly attacks our institutions and has promised he will be a dictator on "day one", determined to destroy our democracy for the sole purpose of enriching himself and staying out of prison.
2. Has been found liable for rape, and is accused of many other acts of sexual misconduct and assault.
3. Uses increasingly violent rhetoric to divide us and endanger anybody who doesn't support him.
4. Traffics in anti-Semitism, misogyny, Islamophobia, and anti-immigrant hatred, in order to divide us.
If you're a Republican who voted against my uncle, thank you.
But if you voted for him, perhaps it’s time to ask yourself whether you really care about America as much as you think you do.
See you in November.

She returned to the beach
to pockets & crevices where memories poured in on the tide. Rock pools, so clear & true. Yet the #anemoia threatened her equilibrium. The past always disappeared, swallowed whole by the ocean. A crystal thread led her back to a place of cold fear

My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces- and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views. Respect for science, vaccines, & health care equity were in her DNA. She strongly supported my health care work at @ONECampaign & @RED which he opposes.
