We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

A Civiqs Poll this week revealed that support for abolishing ICE is at an all time high among Americans.

Minneapolis Mayor Frey: The narrative that ICE is spinning that the act by the victim was some sort of domestic terrorism is bullshit. The way they've been conducting themselves is bullshit. This is not safety. The things that ICE is doing are not just illegal, they are unconstitutional. #FuckICE

I just can’t find the right words today… it’s pretty awful in Minnesota right now. But, trying to close the door on this right now feels like oppression and tyranny. It’s just not acceptable!

NEWS: Star Tribune identifies ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis as Jonathan Ross www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

What’s unbelievable isn’t just the tragedy. It’s how fast this administration tried to control the narrative. Before facts. Before answers. Before accountability. Investigate what happened. Stop branding people as terrorists. It’s time for Kristi Noem to go. www.instagram.com/reel/DTOgTb0...

Brian Allen 🚨 WALZ BLASTS DHS PREJUDGMENT Tim Walz: “It’s beyond me that the Homeland Security director already decided who this person was and what their motive was — before they were even removed from the vehicle. We’re not living in a normal world.”

Videos and eyewitness accounts indicate that a U.S. citizen was murdered by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Please be safe out there! 💔

This is gut wrenching… a woman was murdered today by these government sanctioned thugs.💔

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “They are already trying to spin this as an act of self defense. I’ve seen the video myself and I want to tell everybody directly; that is bullshit.”

My public safety team is working to gather information on an ICE related shooting this morning. We will share information as we learn more. In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm.

Kind of on the nose, don’t you think?

They used chains then. They use censorship now. Slavery erased our voices. Segregation erased our achievements — today’s book bans erase the truth. The tactic hasn’t changed. Only the disguise has. Read ERASED before they erase it again: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Sen. Sanders: 60% of people in US are living paycheck to paycheck. Can't afford housing or groceries. Healthcare system is collapsing. Maybe instead of trying to run Venezuela, Trump might try to do a better job running the USA. He has made the world significantly less safe.

Five years ago, Donald Trump tried to overthrow the government. He was dangerous then, and he’s dangerous now.

Minnesota has to come first - always. Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids. I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

5 years after the J6 attack on the Capitol, the threat to American democracy hasn't faded, it's grown more dangerous. Political violence has surged, trust in democratic institutions has plummeted to historic lows, and leading democracy experts now classify the U.S. as an "electoral autocracy."

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland: "Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

...aaaaand we're back to not staying at Hilton. apnews.com/article/ice-...

I am gutted… truly the best governor.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files. #ImpeachAndConvict47NOW

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... This is just. Sad.

Disgusted by him and everyone who keeps on looking the other way when he does things like this. He has found a new, crazy irresponsible and dangerous low point.

Gov Tim Walz is the kind of human being that makes DT look like the small miserable disgusting excuse of a human he is… he never got over being called out during the campaign.

The “peace” President has started a war.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Exactly 👍

UPDATE: *peace president* Trump bombs Venezuela… (after pardoning an ex president of Honduras for drug trafficking) This is about oil (+ distracting from Epstein), not drugs. “international condemnation followed US military strikes on Venezuela”: www.trtworld.com/article/ab57...

Wow‼️ If desperation was a news agency… [CBS TikTok page]

I love being ELCA Minnesota Lutheran… We Welcome ministries were born here. 😄

CBS is over. Done.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen. The good news is that independent media has been ready for this moment. Join us: meidasplus.com

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Trump 2.0’s second year may be even worse than the first. So, what can you do? Here are the 10 most important actions you can take in 2026. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-can-do-in-2026

Agreed 👍

Happy New Year, Minnesota!

Happy New Year to everyone who will be sleeping by midnight… that will also be me. 😄

Heads up that this is authorization for Trump to create his own version of the Wagner Group. Which would bring the number of “armies” at his disposal to four: *regular armed forces (most regulated) *ICE (minimally regulated) *private mercenaries (?) *MAGA thugs/militias (rogue) All pardonable

Thank you to all the performers who are canceling their events at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Or … is all of this dazzling peace that looks like war, just a distraction from our possible war within as we grasp the extent of the EPSTEIN FILES… Hmmm..

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

The damage these two have done to the world, and to their own countries, is catastrophic

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.

It’s truly amazing how Zelensky is able to see up close and personal what Putin is doing to his country and its people day after day with barbarity and cruelty, then stand next to Trump without losing it while he makes asinine statements expressing sympathy for the mass murderer.

163 years ago in Mankato, 38 Dakota men were hung in the largest mass execution in our nation’s history. I’m grateful to the riders who continue to remind us the importance of fighting for accountability and healing for the Dakota people. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.
