Lmao, imagine getting your ass kicked by a group of teenagers — in a fight you started — and then going to jail for it 🤣🤣🤣

Excellent news.

Big Oil "purchased solar and EV patents to ensure others couldn’t use them, solicited control of renewable markets and then abandoned them, and funded powerful institutions to promote false solutions, all while using trade groups to downplay the harms of fossil fuels, according to the complaint." 😠

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Rep. Kelly Morrison describes 'horrifying' conditions inside Whipple building www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!" No. No, you wouldn't. We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors. Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

The Texas Senate primary between Colin Allred, James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett is turning ugly. Why? Democrats infight instead of focusing on the bigger goal. Drop the name-calling. Beat a weak GOP incumbent. Show your best. Let voters decide. Unity wins elections. Infighting loses them.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

They want to scare us, discouraged us and make us not show up to the polls. This isn’t going to work, and why is a sick greasy pedophile tell the people what’s going to happen? Did he get a job with the pedophile administration?

America the Great

It is simply impossible to reform organizations as deeply corrupted as ice and CBP. They need to be abolished.

And this is why the whole thing needs to be defunded and shut down. It’s a shadow organization.

Tom Homan was in charge of Family Separation during Trump’s 1st term. He advocated for this inhumane policy in Congress and lied on television. Caged children are HIS work ! In 2022, he joined the Heritage Foundation and worked on #Project2025. Trump wants you to forget this ! #ICEBorderCzar

"Our nation is in a moment of crisis. We have no need of politicians. We need patriots and heroes, men and women of their word who will defend the Constitution, as they promised... “bi-partisanship” is a code-word for “capitulation.” @democrats.senate.gov open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

There will still be THOUSANDS of ICE in the Twin Cities after the withdrawal of 700 agents. What's the point? Optics vs. reality. #NotAWin #ICE #AbolishICE #ICEout #Minneapolis #Minnesota

Today, the DNC launched Local Listeners — a new voter contact program to engage infrequent voters across key battleground districts and states. The program will engage over ONE MILLION likely Democratic supporters who voted in 2020, but sat out in 2024.

Ain’t it Great?

Truth be told...

This is America under trump

LA Olympics chief Wasserman urged to resign after Epstein files revelations

This is something he / they do a lot, manipulating the Overton window. Trump says something outrageously extreme and impractical. Then they (as NYT obliges here) get to "walk back" and sound like they're compromising in merely doing the outrageously evil instead of the impossible delusion version.

The curious case of the President’s formal personal lawyer who is now in DOJ Leadership saying “partying with Epstein is not a crime” but then the GOP Oversight push to depose Bill Clinton and none of the other “partiers.”

New agents not getting paid and “A lot of the guys are honestly pretty sketchy,” a recent ICE recruit said on the condition of anonymity. “I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect.” www.rawstory.com/ice-26750722...

Mississippi will not expand its school voucher program to use public tax dollars for private school tuition after the Mississippi Senate Education Committee killed the House’s massive education package, House Bill 2, on Tuesday. www.mississippifreepress.org/private-scho...

So get ready for a world without American science, scientists, for a generation or a rump version, which is a severely diminished remnant of its former self. 6/

Imagine your sweet, little 9-year-old girl was abducted and taken to a torture mill. This is happening in our name on our dime. Children are being abducted, detained, deprived of medical care & given moldy or worm infested food & foul water. #FundHealthcareOverICE Congress: 202-224-3121

2) How the Pentagon is Quietly Building Trump’s Concentration Camps SCOOP: A repurposed Navy contract to funnel tens of billions to ICE for a nationwide "ghost network” of concentration camps—just got a lot bigger. migrantinsider.com/p/how-the-pe...

What the hell is even going on in this country anymore?

275 days to get it done

The manufacturing boom President Trump promised would usher in a golden age for America is going in reverse. After years of economic interventions by the Trump and Biden administrations, fewer Americans work in manufacturing than any point since the pandemic ended. www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

🤣 🤣🤣 Chandler is Portland-famous BECAUSE HE LETS PEOPLE USE HIS BATHROOM in his apartment across the street from the Portland ICE facility. He became a local legend bc he's NICE! He's literally a kind kid, nearby. The total opposite of a thug from ICE/DHS. 🤣

The Pentagon ordered National Guard troops to undergo civil unrest training this fall—but won’t say what that involved. These troops could be deployed if Trump expands the occupation of U.S. cities. We filed FOIAs to find out how troops are being told to interact with civilians.

In Minneapolis, for every story detailing the fallout of the federal crackdown, there are as many stories of people like Bri, a mom donating breastmilk for babies whose mothers are detained by ICE. Bri's story: 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

I have always learned more when I hand-write notes and I'll die on this hill.

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

BREAKING Star Tribune: Eight additional federal prosecutors are in the process of leaving the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation. The departures follow the mass exit of six veteran prosecutors who left the office last month.

CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

Well well well. Looks like they were correct. They just lied about who it was.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

They're desparate to stop Senate Democrats from defunding ICE. Keep calling. Keep pushing.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

ALERT: Ed Martin has been removed from his role as the head of Attorney General Pam Bondi's Weaponization Working Group Trump Admin has failed in its efforts to criminally prosecute James Comey and Letitia James

For >10 years I’ve been on an admissions committee for a prominent science journalism fellowship. We always have around 150 applications from around the world to review for 6 spots. This year we only had 32 applications. And several we can’t review because they’re visa restricted now.

Why did mega law firm Paul Weiss capitulate so quickly right after Convicted Felon Donald Trump took office?…

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

Greatness!

I wish DOJ released as much information on the pedophiles as they did of victims

criminal law prof here. There are laws against homicide, and federal agents are not in fact above them. Supremacy clause immunity is limited in scope, not an absolute barrier to state prosecution.
