Newsweek in Moorhead!

This is what these liars promised and what tens of millions of marks swallowed.

The standard can’t be ‘he probably won’t.’

Trump: "This is the Golden Age of America."

Bankruptcies are way up in the Northern Plains:

In Minnesota, despite showing documents proving active immigration cases, pending visas, or even US citizenship, residents were arrested and detained by ICE for days or weeks. But many who were later set free are now encountering a new challenge: ICE isn’t giving back their immigration documents.

The SAVE Act was never going to pass the Senate, but passage was never the point. This piece lays out the real strategy: throw a barrage of voter suppression moves against the wall—all of which are designed to sow fear, suppress turnout, and muddy the midterms—and see what sticks.

U2 has a word.... "Love more than hate loves war" #fucktrump #noice #peace #love youtube.com/watch?v=Y3zi...

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. It does this by stripping food away from children, the disabled, and the working poor. Not one more penny.

The Trump administration said it is ending its deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. They’re framing it as Minnesota agreeing to cooperate, but most of their statements are false. It’s Minnesotans standing firm and refusing to back down. The resistance only grows. Minnesota strong 💪

One of the Minnesotans who stood up was Gust Johnson, a Vietnam war vet and nurse He went to scene after Alex Pretti was killed Agents repeatedly sprayed him in face They tackled him (knocking out hearing aid and cutting arm) They shackled him. They held him ten hours. They kept his phone.

ICE is a danger to all citizens:

"In 2023, the economy added 3 million jobs. In 2024, still under Biden, it added 2.2 million jobs. In 2025, under Trump, it added just 181,000 jobs. This is a story about an economy getting throttled by one man and his capricious, destructive governance." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Trump's signature trade policy represents the largest tax hike since 1993, according to the Tax Foundation.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

As I said when I called my congressional reps this morning, ICE and Border Patrol are actually the worst of the worst:

Minnesota Nice means telling the truth:

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota. I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

JUST IN: The five-year-old Columbia Heights Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, who have been in an ICE detention facility in Texas, are on their way home.

Complete with Bible citations (it is a Texas court after ) : "Suffer the little children to come to me" and "Jesus wept."

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

The Minnesota Star Tribune, @mprnews.org @minnesotareformer.com , @spokesmanrecorder.bsky.social, @sahanjournal.bsky.social, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association today released the following statement:

So add drunk driving to murder, rape, and child abuse as the crimes of the worst of the worst--the crimes of ICE & the Border Patrol:

This line ought to set off a huge alarm at MLS HQ: "The Loons were negotiating transfer deals with Slovenian midfielder Tomi Horvat and Dutch defender Cherrion Valerius, but both players cited concerns about life in Minnesota for them and their families as why they declined contracts with MNUFC."

Here is a video taken just this morning of ICE pepper spraying my friend who was standing several feet away, and behind a fence, from agents attempting an abduction. Nothing about their conduct has changed. We need to continue our observations but please do so as safely as possible. Fuck ICE.

when @ariberman.bsky.social writes these words, it's a big fucking deal: "In the past week, the different tactics the administration could use to interfere in the midterms have come into sharp focus."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

While Minneapolis mourned a man killed by federal agents, Trump’s elite gathered in black tie to celebrate a Melania vanity film. This is what a ruling family looks like. Let them eat cake. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Of course it's a sham:

Stephen Miller wasn't in the meeting, but the comms team was. This tells you this isn't a policy shift, it was just a meeting to figure out how to sell the bullshit better. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/us/noem-trump-meeting-minneapolis-ice.html

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 26, 2026

So the Attorney General is attempting extortion . . . Got it.

We want to set the record so he is remembered for what he did. Alex put his body between a woman and imminent danger (murderous thugs(ICE)), and he lost his life.

State investigators were blocked from accessing the Alex Pretti shooting scene, with Supt. Drew Evans saying "others outside of the state are making decisions." More: https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/bca-says-feds-blocked-state-investigators-from-alex-pretti-shooting-scene

The BCA said that its Force Investigations Unit was requested by the MPD to investigate, but agents and crime personnel were blocked from accessing the location.

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

The man who was murdered by ICE today was killed for filming them and more importantly protecting a woman from being attacked, he used his body to shield her. They murdered him for protecting her. He was a hero. #3E #GoodvsEvil

Well well well. He had a permit to carry after all. Murder

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like: 1) They were beating a struggling man with batons 2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back 3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away 4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

And yeah, some of our front line staff have been on the receiving end of some not-so-nice comments. But when you vote for inflation on the national ticket and revenue caps at the state level, cuts in services at the local level is what you get.

Incredible quote here from a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis who voted for Trump. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/19/a...

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

The Trump admin is hoping to shutter over a dozen buildings and more than 100 labs at NASA’s iconic Goddard Space Flight Center As part of its plans to gut the center, it shut NASA’s largest library last month, threatening to trash important documents in the process.
