“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

From Plymouth ❤️

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Protesters flooded the intersection of Nicollet Avenue and W. 26th Street in south Minneapolis, near where Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal agents Saturday morning. Video by Aaron Lavinsky, Genevieve Ross, Kyeland Jackson and Louis Krauss.

LA doesn’t miss 🔥 Freeway overpass just now (405)

Minnesotans, We witness your bravery in the face of brutality. We see your unwavering resolve against their threats, and your profound strength over their cowardice. You embody the spirit of your state motto, L’Etoile du Nord. Thank you for leading the way as the Star of the North.

So now, it's not advised for citizens to arm themselves? Remember this guy, who was championed by MAGA and 2A supporter? I do.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.

If anyone expects anything to change at this point, it’s not going to happen without changes across the board and that includes Chuck Schumer. We have real Democrats in the Senate. They have the power to change leadership at any time, and that needs to happen immediately.

I certainly hope to live long enough to see Stephen Miller imprisoned for his many crimes.

Rosen and Cortez Masto have already said they'd vote no. Call the rest.

Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who provided specialized critical care to veterans. ICE thugs murdered him today in cold blood. #JusticeForAlexPretti #Enough

This. A handful of Americans have the power to stop this NOW, and they are refusing to.

“The American public knows this is the moment that is enough.” - Gov Walz America, have we finally had enough?

Don't watch the video unless you want to feel sick. But be very very angry because they executed a man who was just directing traffic.

He had been disarmed before the shooting started.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

Guys, ICE is attacking and harassing ANYONE WHO IS NOT WHITE, HAS A FOREIGN-SOUNDING NAME, OR HAS AN ACCENT. When they jump out and grab you, and carry you off screaming, it doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or not! They’re not asking! I’ve seen it happen multiple times with my own eyes.

🧊❌BREAKING 🧊❌ 500 #MOworkers and community allies from across St. Louis just rallied to demand ICE OUT of our city! Solidarity with our siblings in Minnesota during their bold general strike to fight back ✊🏿✊🏼✊🏽

Minneapolis, MN - Dozens of protesters are in the street outside of the Target Center (the anti-ICE event inside recently ended). Smashing blocks of ICE, chanting “fuck Donald Trump.”

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

My morning commute energy, public truth 🔥 RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

so many clergy coming to protest ICE that they're overflowing the airport sidewalk we are going to win

Colbert on Trump's Gaza Board of Peace: "Paying a billion dollars to obey Trump seems a little steep. After all, CBS got to do it for just $16 million." He said this CBS 🦸🏻‍♂️

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Jack Smith remains the best among public servants. The four Capitol Police officers in the hearing today remain heroes. Every Republican in the House *Judiciary* Committee is a fucking traitor available for $174,000/year.

Darrell Issa has been a piece of shit since the first time he stood upright and his district continuing to re-elect him makes an argument for a contaminated water table.

Swalwell: "My Republican colleagues are a joke. History will harshly judge them ... these guys are so lucky they're not under oath, because they would have to tell you what they really think of Trump. They call him crooked, they call him cruel, they call him a scumbag ... you're tiny, small."

It's definitely theater. It's a show for an audience of one.

Jack Smith on accepting the role of special counsel: "I don't regret it."

Jack Smith: "Our assessment of the evidence is that [Trump] is the person most responsible for what happened on January 6. He caused what happened, it was foreseeable to him — and then, when it happened, he tried to exploit it."

Ted Lieu opens by reminding us that Jim Jordan still hasn’t complied with his subpoena.

While we’re deposing Marshall Miller, perhaps we can depose Donald Trump why he hired his personal lawyer to run the DOJ.- Rep Hank Johnson (D-GA) *Miller was instrumental for Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel.

Jack Smith reminds us that the cases against Trump were dismissed “without prejudice.” Meaning they could be brought again.

Republicans on House Judiciary don’t want answers from Jack Smith. They keep on interrupting him as he responds to their questions.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is sworn in: “I love my country.” “I am not a politician & I hold no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law.” “My approach has always been the same: follow the facts & the law, without fear or favor.”

I can't even keep up with the lies in Jim Jordan's opening statement, but I find it interesting that he's complaining about toll record warrants obtained by a judge, while this administration has determined judicial warrants aren't needed to enter our homes.

May this serve as an example for many businesses to follow. Bovino and his goons were refused entry to Minneapolis Speedway gas station. The manager told them to leave on the spot: "We do NOT support ICE, get off of our property."

guys minneapolis is a living hell today. they've tear-gassed so many people, tear-gassed a park, beaten people up in front of me. greg bovino is rolling around to gas stations and posing in front of them, trying to cause a riot.

ICE involved in a shooting in a DHS operation in Los Angeles County this morning. It does not appear anyone was hit by gunfire. This wasn’t local police. This was federal immigration enforcement operating in neighborhoods, again, with guns out and answers missing.

Late to the game but he got there. Pressure works, people. Keep calling your reps and senators. Not another dime for these goons.
