So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

We’re just not a free country. Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

"They killed a man, created chaos, pushed protestors and threw gas indiscriminately, then left the scene."

"Thank god we have video, because according to DHS these seven heroic guys ... it's nonsense and its lies."

I'm about twenty minutes behind the press conference. Q for Walz - "what are Minnesotans to do?" Walz is fucking furious as he speaks. "They ask us for peace and we give it and we get shot in the streets coming out of a donut shop."

Say their names. Trump and Vance. They should be impeached and removed immediately.

I remember watching Bill Kristol in the 90s and disagreeing with him about everything. We haven’t changed. The country changed and it’s time to fight for democracy.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

@velshi.com Where are you? Another person was just murdered by ICE in Minneapolis. Judicial warrants can wait. Get there.

THEY WILL NOT BREAK US THEY CAN NOT BREAK US THEY DIDN'T BRING ENOUGH GUYS FOR EVERY ONE OF US THEY TAKE, ONE HUNDRED MORE TAKE TO THE STREETS THERE WILL FOREVER BE MORE OF US THAN OF THEM THEY STAND FOR NOTHING, WE STAND FOR EACH OTHER THEY WILL REGRET COMING HERE MINNEAPOLIS WILL WIN

Missing the days when the government wanted to prevent children from getting severe infectious diseases and being kidnapped and removed from their families. Seems like those goals should not be a partisan issue.

"Like many other blue states, Minnesota pays more to the federal government than it takes in. But why should the state continue to subsidize a government bent on destroying it? What if it just…didn’t?" A big question from @snipy.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's PN: www.publicnotice.co/p/minnesota-...

Flooding Senators & House members with calls is a great idea. TY! But asking them to “reform” ICE is weak (& in the weeds). ICE is beyond reform. It must be disbanded & any legitimate functions should be distributed to other agencies. The message is simple: Prohibit spending on & Abolish ICE.

Call your senators: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena... Call your representative: indivisible.org/ice-out-hous... Every elected official will soon vote on whether to empower Trump to send more secret police forces into our communities. Let’s flood Congress with calls to demand #ICEOutForGood.

Just a reminder that this is one of THE reasons that showing up en masse, and trying to delay ICE and get people's information when they're being detained is so important. If you want to slow the entire operation down, this is probably the best way to do it.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

21 y/o activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous to. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. This story is not getting enough attention.

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful) or "Can I send money?" (not to me, please). But the best ones are like "I want to build what you guys have back in my home city." YES, DO THAT. DO IT NOW.

Why isn’t Trump sending in 3000 federal agents and cancelling all their federal dollars?

@amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @angiecraigmn.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov Minnesota needs action today. We need you to step up and help us prevent the impending military occupation of our state. We need you to prevent the cancellation of the election. We need you today.

Fu k every last law firm that acquiesced last year.

They’ve invaded Minnesota at this scale because they don’t have the resources to do the same thing in LA, NYC, or Chicago.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Warning: I'm seeing so many AI images/videos being posted re: Renee Nicole Good's killing. Just a reminder to avoid retweeting spam or oddly partisan accounts that post these fake videos. Only promote content from legit journalism organizations like newspapers, public media etc that employ reporters

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Every damn Democratic congressperson should be physically standing together on the steps of the Capitol and demanding an end to this deadly abuse. Are they really unable to fight back against this despicable propaganda used to justify the killing by ICE and supported by Noem and Trump?

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

The driver of this policy is a charlatan and fraud. Remember her name: Tracy Beth Hoeg. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I am just sick to my stomach about the giddiness with which folks are gobbling up hateful conspiracy theories about the Hortmans and about Somali-Americans.

☹️☹️☹️

Not Somali.

He was supposed to serve 10 years and pay $36 million in restitution for defrauding investors. Never served a day. Not Somali.

Not Somali.

Bannon’s like, “What can I say to make people forget that I knowingly coached a sexual predator to help him repair his image?”

Tell candidates you won’t vote for them in the primary if they don’t promise this on Day One

The Danish physician “said he was struck by the irony of Mr. Kennedy and his associates holding Denmark up as an ideal because many of the studies that disproved Mr. Kennedy’s theories of vaccine harm were led by Danish health officials.” www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/h...

HHS appoints anti-vaccine activists to IACC. Reminder: HHS also cut disability services and rescinded an AAP grant for early identification of autism. It's no friend to autistics and their families. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025... via @politico.com @laurengardner.bsky.social

If we move to a Danish vaccine schedule for kids, next spring hospitals will be filled with babies severely dehydrated from rotavirus. Likely the first will be babies without a primary care provider and who attend childcare. The health and economic impacts will be immediate.

Children will die because of RFK Jr. & Høeg. No longer recommending vaccines is a 5-alarm fire for public health with far-reaching implications. The best time to reject this dangerous anti-vax agenda was back in January. The next best time is to impeach RFK is NOW. wapo.st/4aXfzn5

The Kennedy Center is a living memorial to a fallen president and named for President Kennedy by federal law. It can no sooner be renamed than can someone rename the Lincoln Memorial, no matter what anyone says.

This is not me.

Might recall that MDE also tried to stop paying Feeding Our Future but were sued and lost.

Karen from @voices4vaccines.bsky.social reminds us that our real opponents in this fight are germs, not other people, and our allies are communities that don’t want to be sick.

Says Karen from @voices4vaccines.bsky.social: Incredible thing happened: Maine taught lobsters to vaccinate. Antivaccine activists: this is a joke.
