Moving Bovino out of MN is welcome news, but I have seen no evidence this is anything other than a tactical move to put a softer face on the same brutality. ICE/CBP must leave!

Wow. Very late. But I believe we should take heart when anyone is willing to finally speak the truth and stand by it with their actions while the very idea of truth, and our neighbors, are under attack

"Constitutional and effective public safety bears no relation to what we are witnessing today, with now two local citizens shot and killed and others torn from their homes and cars needlessly," former U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger writes.

So many words, so little said

My reaction was Ellison's reaction 💯

Long read but I learned something new in almost every paragraph. Spread this far and wide

"There is a logic, and this logic has a name. It’s called state terror." This is really helpful for processing this moment as someone who is not as much a student of history as I would like to be

As we work to combat the Right-wing smear campaigns against Renee Good and Alex Pretti, I hope we'll also think of the countless others--disproportionately people marginalized by racism--who have been vilified to justify state violence and abuse, and who haven't had legions come to their defense.

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

At the beginning of the video, the man is directing traffic. He is not engaging with ICE. He appeared to be trying to help and protect two other observers who were engaging with ICE after they were sprayed and shoved to the ground. The victim does not initiate the violence that followed. ICE did.

They lie. They are lying liars. How can any reputable news org print their statements and put their version of events in headlines ignoring this? Glad to see the focus here on the LONG list of past lies, proven despicable lies.

My heart is broken, but anger is pulsating from my every fiber. Another person brutally killed by the occupying federal forces in my state. And then, to see this. They are lost to their delusions, and more will be hurt because they do not see opposition as human beings apnews.com/article/immi...

Looks like more disgusting lies from the gov't to try and cover up the unforgivable

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

There are no words for this. I am livid and heartbroken

Reading this compared to the shameful WSJ Ed Board piece on the same. What a difference it makes when your agenda is facts and not sabotage. www.startribune.com/health-insur...

if everything they said was true, their actions would still be unjust. but of course nothing they say is true.

All quaint illusions must be gone. They WANT us to see that they can kill with impunity. There is no training program nor "guardrails" that will rein them in. Abolish ICE

This. As a health care policy person and a Minnesotan

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

This is the way and every single Democrat should be on board. It won't get anywhere before the midterms, but it will make the midterms easier for Democrats to win and easier to take action on these promises once they do. Be the party of accountability. Own that space, starting now.

They are trying to break us. We will not let them.

A bonus Daily Cartoon by Brendan Loper. #NewYorkerCartoons

Republicans say they don't want more federal dollars going to health insurers to cover the 22 million peeps currently subsidized in the ACA marketplace. Just thinking: Of the 300-odd million people with health insurance coverage in the U.S., private insurers must cover 90%... 1/

No longer just preventing benefits from getting to hungry people, but trying to rip food directly out of their hands. Monsters. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

He has no idea what Obamacare is. Absolutely no idea. We are ruled by the dumbest monarch ever.

Trump’s bill a ‘death warrant’ say parents of sick rural kids whose treatment is tied up in Medicaid red tape

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Remember when “death panels” was a Republican talking point against expanding health insurance coverage with Obamacare? Now, cutting coverage and actually sending people to their death is a policy position of the Republican Party.

Nine months after Luke Seaborn starred in a video testimonial for Georgia Pathways to Coverage, the state’s Medicaid experiment, his opinion of the program has plummeted: “I used to think of Pathways as a blessing,” he says. Now he’s not so sure.

We made a deliberate choice as a nation, until now, not to have a police state. We siloed off federal data and put in place laws, regulations, policies and internal norms to prevent the federal government from putting together everything it knows about you into one place. Trump is ending all that.

If you are actively culling your library to keep books like "The Bell Curve" while removing criticisms of the book, you are building a white supremacist library.

So... about my earlier rant on how they are getting away with refusing to define what they think is "critical" to health and safety

They are lying about preserving critical services. They have no proof this isn't just inept indiscriminate, or worse- intentional, destruction of systems that keep us safe. Push them to respond with their plan and evidence, not just empty platitudes

Well done, MN 🙌 Crowd so big we get the cover photo

Let's go, MN! #handsoff

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

This seems to have pierced through the collective consciousness because people see the direct connection with their bills and retirement. But really, this is how they are running the whole government. This is DOGE and downsizing. Its all a mixture of radicals, conspiracy cranks and know-nothings.

Yesterday, the MN Dept of Health announced 170 layoff notices due to unexpected federal grant cuts of over $220M. These cuts will affect Minnesotans’ daily lives — accessing vaccinations, seeing less support for our elders in nursing homes & less surveillance of wastewater. It’s going to hurt.

Worst fears confirmed

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

People who appease authoritarians always wind up being left alone after that, right? That’s how it works? You knuckle under once, and they don’t ask you to compromise your morals again. I assume that’s what all of history and political science suggest, or why do it, right?

Democrats need to make Republicans defend this publicly. Make them go tomorrow on Sunday news shows and say cuts that degrade services for our veterans are necessary. Trump and DOGE Propel V.A. Mental Health System Into Turmoil www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/u...
