Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

We the citizens of America want our pain medicines back. It is not right to under treat pain. We have injuries yet when given the chance can contribute so much more if our pain is treated like it used to be. When has pain become a crime? It's cruel and unusual punishment. Torture.

Brooklyn Park Police Chief Bruley said during a January 2026 press conference that several officers were boxed in by ICE agents who demanded documentation. · Her phone was knocked out of her hands before she identified herself as law enforcement. The agents then left without comment or apology.

I know, Inside I’m A secret mess You wouldn’t know By looking at my body Or my face I wake Sometimes Hours before The rest of My world To #soothe Or understand What’s going on In my life. Impulsive as a writer Added strife To an already Busy life But…I NEED TO WRITE #vss365

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Happy Monday everyone

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

The US is being terrorized by a domestic terror organization called ICE. They are going door-to-door. They are stealing and kidnapping people. They have killed over 30 people so far. We are being terrorized by the US government and what you have to do first is acknowledge it.

My guy best friend asked me to join him for a morning walk at the coastal road. Thinking if I can convince him to make it a weekly thing. 🌄

sinister sickles punctuate the path undeserved smiles shed in falls from grace frowns rooting into earth & flourishing into rot —penance no more a means of control unseen madness moults like wind-whipped leaves within the pluviose violence of a forgotten forest #sensewrds 172 #writingprompt #poetry

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

January 17th marks 2 years since we lost our friend TG. I can only imagine how he’d see things today. But wow do we need him more than ever. Missing a truly good man.

Good morning, everyone. Have a great Friday. #good #morning #friday #everyone

“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.” MN orgs/electeds say👇🏽this is the family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside Different than DHS’ shovel story: www.instagram.com/reel/DThEdD8...

🗽 They call themselves “Patriots.” The word is rotten. Once it meant sacrifice, now it’s a mask. Lies piled high, truth locked away with the Epstein files. Look in the mirror and don’t blink. This isn’t the year 2000. No reset. WE are here.

ICE Shoots Projectile and Takes Out Kid’s Eye Surgeons spent six hours removing shards of glass, plastic, and metal from his face. Unfortunately, the damage to his left eye was irreversible. Second kid in the video, shot point-blank in the face.
