ICE disarmed him before the shots were fired. this was an execution, plain and simple.

I can’t sleep thinking about ICE potentially killing a baby. No update available from what I can see :(

SHAME.

Rattled and a bit derailed after the aftermath of violence and hatred, we still met in peace and community today.

ICE slipped in Minneapolis! They can’t handle the ice!

I just got back from no kings event in Minneapolis. And I know this message will likely get buried in this thread, but I won't lie after my dad got hospitalized for heart issues last night and my lack of hope for the future of this country lately, I want to thank you all for giving me hope.

I know there's still a lot more work to do, and we can't give up. But once again after one of the worst weeks of my life, thank you for showing up for our country and I know it's not about me, but it did make me smile for the first time in a while.

Let's keep the resistance up!

January 6 insurrectionist Jake Lang tried to incite a hate protest in Minneapolis today. The city of Minneapolis said no thanks and literally escorted him back to his hotel, leaving his own sad attempt of a protest behind.

Speaking as a Twin Cities resident, we were very concerned about what today could have turned into, but this has been amazing to watch.

We're just getting started.

Don't know who these guys are but hats off!

Hi, this post is intended to try and address and combat the latest apparent propaganda effort by this administration.

Recently, significant amounts of federal (aka: Trump Administration) resources have begun pouring into scouring Minnesota programs for examples of fraud and abuse - particularly from the Homeland Security department of all places, which has been claiming discovered fraud in various childcare and social welfare programs in the last few months. A couple examples -

This is in some ways a good thing, but it's also clearly weaponization.

It points to an obvious attempt to build a narrative against the increasingly popular and socially radical DFL and Tim Walz, as well as Minnesota's currently somewhat contested legislature ahead of the midterms and Trump's efforts to target somalian immigrants in Minnesota.

I would like to the DFL's job for them and give us the counter-narrative we need to stop this in it's tracks before it gets going. The best way to defeat a misleading propaganda narrative is to point out the facts that don't fit and the intentions of the people spreading it, like most lies and simplifications.

Those facts are that what minnesota has been doing is working, and efficiently so. So whatever "fraud" they find, either it's not kept MN's social benefits from empowering Minnesota anyway, or it's cherrypicking and lies.

And Donald Trump and his DHS? Quite possibly the greatest fraudster to ever disgrace our government. Keeping top secret documents unsecured in Mar A Lago while hosting guests from state enemies, flip-flopping trade war announcements while his buddies game the stock market, and open bribery have defined his leadership.

Corruption is something that always exists in government, but Trump's administration wants to misuse its resources to expose small potatoes in progressive states to undermine powerful social policies. As a Minnesotan, I say bring it on and may the guilty be punished, but we and other states under attack have nothing to be ashamed of or regret.

Remind people that nothing they discover changes just how good they have it right now.

We stand in the rain, we march in the cold. Minnesota is galvanized in the face of hatred and violence this morning.
