A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

A Post investigation found that the Office of Refugee Resettlement, or ORR, has locked some teenage migrant boys inside Abraxas Academy, a secure juvenile prison with a long and publicly documented history of staff physically and sexually abusing offenders in its care. https://wapo.st/4py8KML

This use of Grok isn't personal perversion but political terrorism: it's designed to silence women, make us retreat from public life. Exemplified by the digital desecration of the body of Renee Good: someone prompted Grok to deepfake a bikini on her corpse. "You're next" is the message to women.

Important read. Among many other things, Judge Ellis found that Kristi Noem "commented that the more people protest, the harder the government will come after them."

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

This is the behavior Donald Trump incited and then pardoned.

A must-read message from Colin and Sophie Hortman, Mark and Melissa's children:

“‘If a fire occurs in the cabin, if we land on water, don’t check on the immigrants. Just make sure that you and the guards and the people that work for the government get off,’" one flight attendant was told. “It was as if the detainees’ lives were worthless,” said another. Trump is a monster.

Remember, the Secretary of Transportation is absolutely terrified of this subway system. Just mentioning the ACE line will reduce him to tears. And yet ...

"Assassination. Annunciation. A year that broke Minnesota’s heart." "The best thing you can say about 2025 is that we got through it together," writes columnist Jennifer Brooks.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Friendly Americans are always welcome in the land of the true, north, strong and free. See you next year.

Northwest Chicago Suburb: ICE Agents Rip 15-Year-Old Girl from Car, Slam Her to Ground She Screams “I’m 15!” as Man Kneels on Her Neck

It’s hard to square Donald Trump’s braggadocio about peacemaking with his martial rhetoric against “war-ravaged” cities at home, @sbg1.bsky.social writes.

It is so incredibly weird and scary and disheartening to watch the world's most powerful nation being systematically dismantled and pilfered by a gang of ego-thugs led by a painted carnival barker who is literally famous for being a greedy crooked cheat.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

I don't often quote the president, but here goes: "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together." - Donald Trump

President Donald Trump told top military brass that American cities run by Democrats should serve as “training grounds” for troops.

Reformer gets results: University of Minnesota ends gun range rental to all outside groups. Had a contract with ICE. No longer. minnesotareformer.com/2025/09/24/u...

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

Stephen Colbert is the recipient of the 2025 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech & speaking truth to power. Trump meltdown in 3, 2, 1 ... 💙 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money to bail out a political ally and his global investors before an election. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. “America First.”

Jesse Watters just called for the bombing of the UN on national television. FCC? Nothing? Crickets? Got it.

The Trump administration is limiting enforcement of fair housing laws, dismissing them as ideologically driven and DEI in disguise, according to interviews and internal documents reviewed by The New York Times.

The Late Late Show: #RTE #jimmykimmel

“The permanent presence of these flags here at the Capitol is a powerful reminder that the story of Minnesota cannot be told without its first peoples," said Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a member of the White Earth Nation.

Morning, America. This is what it looks like to have a President spend millions of taxpayer dollars to play golf in Scotland while his party guts healthcare and food programs. (And on a point of golf etiquette, only a galactic piece of shit walks off & refuses to get his own ball from the hole)

Time for another fundraiser. This weekend, I will donate $0.50 to @boltsmag.org AND @mississippifreepress.org for EACH of: - every new Bluesky follower I get - every new Bluesky follower THEY get - everyone who reposts this post Repost this, follow me, and follow both of them = I donate $4 total.

BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL, INDEED: University of Minnesota Extension has terminated all 60 SNAP nutrition educators, who host projects statewide like herbal gardens and food shelf reorganizations while teaching food stamp-eligible families about healthy eating. www.twincities.com/2025/07/09/l...

Trump on Democrats: "They hate Trump. But I hate them too. I really do. I hate them."

While Republicans celebrate the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in history, the Curtis Medical Center in Nebraska announced it will shut down as a result of these horrific cuts — the first of many hospitals to close. This is a dark day for rural America and for our country.

Two complete morons on the Bemidji Chit Chat Facebook page threatened to shoot and hang Governor Walz. I want their names.

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Melissa and Mark’s story doesn’t end this weekend. The work Melissa did will live on in children who’ll grow up to become a teacher, a firefighter, or the Speaker. Our hearts are with their family and we were glad to see Gilbert’s doggo buddies for a truly Minnesotan send off.

We were so fortunate to have such a good and decent man as our president.

Former President Joe Biden visited with MN Senator John Hoffman and his family in the hospital today. The photo shared with me by the Hoffman family is the first picture of the Senator seen publicly since the assassination attempt.

Former President Joe Biden paid respects to Melissa and Mark Hortman as they lie in state at the Minnesota Capitol.
