Well this isn’t good. Another step along the path to authoritarianism.

Naïve to think he was ever going to end ICE traffic stops. He LIKES that his secret police force can do whatever they want with no repercussions. The cruelty is the point.

Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness. This is yet another desperate attempt to undermine the midterms.

KEY: all three witnesses are being detained apart, and their story is consistent. They say that there were agents along the side of the vehicle but none in front. When you add the videos showing a lack of evidence of damage to the front despite ICE's ramming claim, ICE's story is falling apart.

wes, MN 50501 on ICE murder of lorenzo salgado araujo: “authoritarian regimes depend on ordinary people staying home. democracy depends on ordinary people showing up. history is not written by presidents, it’s by ordinary people who decided there was a line they would not let their country cross.”

Preach. Center the kids, not the World Cup.

In Minnesota, ICE was split by two goals: arresting immigrants and brutalizing the community. But speeding around in huge convoys of 12+ agents and gassing business districts at random is, frankly, a wildly inefficient way to snatch people. (Recall the huge, quiet deportation machine under Obama.)

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

Bill Clinton “With the help of lifetime appointees to the Supreme Court and a compliant Congress, they have weaponized government to settle personal scores, prosecute enemies, stamp out free speech, and made the federal government a new profit center for themselves and their allies”

Today is a reminder that the work of protecting our country never ends. Democracy isn’t something we inherit and then forget about. Every generation has to decide whether it will stand up for it.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

minneapolis mayor jacob frey has vetoed city council's appointment of former state rep jim davnie to minnesota ballpark authority, which had passed council 8-4 (1 absent). local NAACP opposed justin baylor's removal frey said council's idea of davnie's qualifications was out of scope of the role

It is core to the nature of reactionary politics that its adherents *always* conceive of themselves as aggrieved victims, no matter how much power they amass. It's a permission structure for their own lawlessness & violence.

Ossoff: "When they gathered in Atl to remove Black elected officials not by defeating them at the polls, but by manipulating maps to dilute minority power, they saw you mobilize & they backed down. A wave is building ... let's make sure they hear it down at Mar-a-Lago, that GA will bow to no king!"

Please read and call. Flood the zone.

I disagree with Tom Suozzi about a lot, but he’s right about this: DSA is organizing while its opponents whine at cocktail parties. You can’t complaint about the left losing elections if you can’t beat them at the ballot box. www.axios.com/2026/06/24/m...

www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol... National NBC News poll finds 81% of Americans say there is more that divides than unites the wealthy and those who aren’t wealthy. Wealthy people “don’t have empathy right now because they’re not suffering how other people are suffering.”

Remember during the 24 campaign when the GOP ran against the alleged censorship of the Biden Administration? Authoritarianism requires compliance across all sectors. So we see attacks on the press, academia, cultural performers, and in this case, the National Parks.

Its not great when the DOJ complying with a federal judges order is considered news worthy.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

The DOJ dropped misdemeanor charges against anti-ICE protesters, admitting it used improper tactics to secure the indictment. Kat Abughazaleh, one protester and former Democratic congressional candidate, said the administration's attempts to silence them are "not going to work.”

While we slept the DOJ deleted all press releases about charges against January 6 defendants: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Best and most accurate use of the word "collusive" I've seen in a long time.

There's still a chance for Frey to resurrect this and give Elizabeth Shaffer credit.

The corruption is the point with the Trump Administration.

the most anti free speech administration in this country’s history

!!!

As he should.

I have never in my life heard the phrase “uncle” in regards to hockey. And I’m from Duluth.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty notes law enforcement has sent her ZERO referrals for the Youth Auto Theft Initiative, and chargeable vandalism cases aren't being referred to her office. This is all just copaganda hype unless they arrest people and charge them; there is no deterrent.

downtown council will be using $26k from small biz recovery funds after ICE to fund dinner du nord & bring back the aquatennial. 50th & france gets $30k whittier gets only $17k. eat street! where alex pretti was killed! it feels like frey punishing chughtai again taylordahlin.com/f/minneapoli...

We have a crisis of democracy because for the last several decades we've had one political party for whom the answer to most questions was "No". Problems didn't get resolved and people gave up faith in the idea that democracy is a tool to make their lives better.

Indivisible Twin Cities nails it on the manufactured state flag debate "Governing is hard. Pretending to govern is easier, and the costumes are better." indivisibletwincities.substack.com/p/indivisible-…

We all should be alarmed by the DOJ targeting SPLC. NAACP President Derrick Johnson is spot on: “What we are seeing in real time is an administration seeking to leverage its position to target individuals and organizations that do not agree with its political thought.” apnews.com/article/sout...

Great turnout at @FBW_Action Earth Day rally at the Capitol. The State can protect the BWCA by canceling the existing copper-sulfide mine permits. Let's get this done Minnesota!

The Trump Administration is making healthcare more expensive for more Americans. More Ameeicans are skipping care and losing insurance. And it's a policy choice of this Administration.

There is real opportunity for Democrats to win big in November in the Yale Youth poll. While Trump has been running up the cost of living, health-care, housing and levels of corruption, he has also been attacking democracy. Listen to the voters. youthpoll.yale.edu/spring-2026-...

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

Trump promised us a ladder out of the affordability crisis, but showed up with a shovel. With every move, he’s putting the average American worker deeper in the hole. Working families deserve better. @aijenpoo.bsky.social time.com/article/2026...

Hungarians deserve every congratulations for giving Peter Magyar a bigger margin than Orban has ever gotten in all of his rigged elections - and this within the system that Orban rigged. Magyar now has a constitutional majority to undo Orban's constitutional prison and govern as a democratic leader.

Appreciated the SD63 convention reminder from the Latonya Reeves campaign stressing the importance of having my voice heard that directed me to the wrong location.

26% of people in MSP who had a DHS encounter had chemical agents used against them 30% had weapons drawn during the DHS encounter

The @sahanjournal.bsky.social wrote about the existence of this video last month. The NYTimes published/analyzed it today. It's yet more evidence undermining the feds' narrative about what happened when Julio Sosa-Celis was shot and wounded by an ICE agent Jan. 14 (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The Trump administration plans to close two northern Minnesota U.S. Forest Service research facilities, including one in Grand Rapids that led globally recognized research on the impacts of climate change on forests and peatlands.

Sn annual mystery of nature we get to witness if we let ourselves.

As they should.

Minnesota will never forget Pam Bondi’s interference in the investigations into the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents. That will always be a stain on her record.

Vote in person, either early or on election day if you can. Take the oxygen out of his argument.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
