That headline says everything about time, and how it lies to us. When a baby gets measles and survives, the story is supposed to end there. Fever breaks. Rash fades. Parents exhale. Life resumes. We file it under “childhood illness” inconvenient, scary, but over.

“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done," journalist Garrett Graff wrote: "A superpower … suicide because the [Repub] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

There are Rapid Response groups not just in Minneapolis. There are hundreds more throughout the state! inequality.org/article/labo...

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

They lie, and they lie, and they lie. And they kill peaceful people in the street and then lie about it.

This week brought a stunning revelation about the Trump administration co-ordinating with election deniers to put voters’ personal data at risk. And Democracy Docket played a key role in pushing the story forward. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Holy shit.

What lying fucks they all are.

State Terror Has Arrived www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

NYT video analysis: - Officers weren’t aware Alex Pretti had a gun until they pinned him on the ground - An agent had already removed his gun when two other agents opened fire - They shot him 10 times in the back as he lay on the ground Let the MN BCA investigate now.

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

Mayor Frey highlighting that Trump admin lawlessness is taken for granted. Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Think they'll abide court order from a federal judge? Frey: Everybody listen to the question: will this admin abide by a court order? www.youtube.com/live/GC8clX8...

Thank you!

Don’t be afraid to call a thing a thing.

“You don’t want to watch it” is true. It is brutal. But if you have any doubt about what ICE and Trump’s other federal goons are doing you MUST watch it. Then try to justify it.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

The federal government continues to assault and kill peaceful observers in Minnesota. It. Must. Stop.

ICE executed someone in the street outside the donut shop but it has not slowed down their active raids on homes and businesses in neighborhoods all around the cities so please be vigilant.

A running tally of who Trump’s DOJ is investigating: - Governor Walz - AG Ellison - Mayor Frey - Mayor Her - Cty Atty Moriarty - School board member - Civil rights advocate - Spouse of ICE shooting victim And who it’s not: - Agent who shot and killed Renee Good

Easily thousands roaring "ICE out!"

So happy to get this good news and to see our justice system protecting the people.

An authoritarian tactic being used by a cowardly bully.

Senator Zaynab Mohamed is an incredible leader. Minnesota is lucky to have her in our legislature!

This happened. This was a betrayal of our democracy. We must remember and hold Trump and his cronies accountable.

My thanks to Leader Zack Stephenson for his strong denunciation of President Trump’s heartless lies. I call on all members of the GOP House Caucus to also speak out against Trump’s cruelty.

As we address the abductions and harassment our communities are experiencing at the hands of Trump’s ICE goon squad, it’s worth staying again that my fellow House DFLers and I will always stand with our neighbors.

Standing strong!

“The company is also facing an ongoing boycott for its public retreat from several diversity and inclusion initiatives.” This is more than a “by the way.” Target owes a lot of us a big apology.

Donald Trump and the GOP Congress are willing to see premiums skyrocket. In Minnesota, we did our part by passing funding to manage increases to keep costs down; now the federal government needs to do its part--today!

“This isn’t something we will just – I believe the quote is, ‘They’ll get over it.’ You don’t get over watching your loved ones suffer and die in front of you,” said Rennicke. “That’s what will be happening to these families.”

Today we had another wonderful Eagan July 4th parade. It was much needed after the tragedies in MN and the troubling actions by our federal government. Thanks to the Eagan Fun Fest team for a safe, fun, and positive experience! It was hot but, hey, it didn’t rain this year!

Taking a pause, feeling grief for the Hortman’s, gratitude that the Hoffman’s are recovering, and admiring flowers on a beautiful summer day in Melissa’s honor.

Today is a day of grief. The manhunt is over; great gratitude to law enforcement. Now the deep reality of the atrocity and the loss is setting in. For today, remember to love your people, approach the world with kindness, and pursue the common good. I appreciate all of your thoughts and support.

This is the Speaker Hortman I know and will miss profoundly. Thank you to @ejdionne.bsky.social for this powerful and moving column. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
