I just can't get over Trump praising Hegseth for "obliterating" Iran's nuclear program on Feb 24, and the bombing Iran as a preemptive strike on Feb 28. How is there no accountability for these abject and dangerous lies?

All you have to do to get a Presidential Medal of Freedom is be a good men’s hockey goalie and lick Trump’s boots.

It’s not surprising to me that the Olympic Men’s Hockey team was so chummy with Trump and excited about the call and invite. It’s also not surprising to me that they laughed at his unnecessary and on brand sexist joke. 1/2

JUST IN: Team USA has won the gold medal in women's hockey in a stunning overtime comeback over Canada at the Winter Olympics. https://cnn.it/4aIfQso

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Last Monday I had an amazing time at Unrivaled Basketball League games in Miami. Such a great sports product. Also, as a Minnesotan and born and bred Minneapolis kid, I came prepared. #AbolishICE

I played this on Sunday in worship, but the recording didn't turn out great. I thought I'd play it again. It's a sort of sacrilege to amend Dylan, but I'm not a song writer and had words. #AbolishICE #ICEoutMN www.youtube.com/watch?v=yasv...

The added video to this is powerful. Seeing the shot of the Avenue I grew up on and where my mom still lives was too literally close to home. youtu.be/GDaPdpwA4Iw

Minnesota is a bellwether for the future of democracy. @peggyflanagan.bsky.social has the spine, deep community roots & courage needed to take on the Trump Admin. She knows they're ransacking our communities & dismantling our future. She's ready to fight like hell as MN's Senator. JanePAC.com/peggy

I freaking love Bruce Springsteen. youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

I have great admiration for Alex Wagner. I think she’s an excellent reporter and anchor. But someone needs to teach her how to wear a hat.

The St. Cloud City Council passed a resolution reaffirming that the city is a “just and welcoming community” to all residents before an overflow crowd Monday night. It was was offered by council member Hudda Ibrahim, a member of St. Cloud’s Somali American community.

DHS is so out of control and beyond the law in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area that we need legal observers for the legal observers.

I felt compelled to open worship today w/“The Times They Are A-Changin’”. It felt like a prayer for the times to change. But I alsoadded a verse for this moment, recognizing that I am no Dylan, not am I trying to be, and who am I to amend his work? That said, I did. Thought I’d share... (1/2)

Today I marched for ICE out of Minneapolis and existence in w/my friend & colleague St. Louis Park Mayor Nadia Mohamed. Her family emigrated here from Somalia when she was young. She is just one of. 100k amazing Somali immigrants in MN who have contributed mightily to our state & are a blessing.

If y’all from other states could handle the Greenland thing, we in Minnesota would appreciate it. We have our hands full right now.

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.

This is how we protest in Minnesota. We’re a thrifty breed.

@ilhanmn.bsky.social @repilhan.bsky.social gets to the guts of it right here. ✊🏼

This is the viewjust up the hill from my church. I often go here to reflect/pray. I love this city. It’s certainly flawed but I love it, as many do, and we will continue to love it to the degree that we will not be intimated into silence. May we all rise and continue to shine light on their shadows.

And that's just a sampling. We are calling from people across the nation to speak out. We are under attack by our own government.

New signs for my church. #ICEOutMSP

Forgive the length but there is a lot to be said. The Minneapolis/St Paul metro area is under siege, friends. I’ve witnessed it first hand. Here are my thoughts youtu.be/XQW0E4X322k?...

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

A moment of levity after a week of monitoring ICE in efforts to protect our beloved neighbors: When I left the house today I told the dog to be safe.

This is a video of an ICE observer on the St. Louis Park/Hopkins, MN border today. It's an all out threat to kill. Please spread it and if you have connections to news outlets send it. youtube.com/shorts/0OdVm...

This happened on the border of St Louis Park/Hopkins, MN border today. It’s an all out threat. Couldn’t get it to load here so this is a facebook link www.facebook.com/share/r/1F3H...

Welp: Trying to protect vulnerable neighbors, I had the great honor of being Flipped off by an ICE agent today as they were all over my city intimidating people. They are the domestic terrorists. They’re literally terrorizing.

WATCH: “Renee Good was not a domestic terrorist. No one acting in good faith actually believes that, no matter what some of our Trump officials say at press conferences,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

It may only be Jan 8, but we may have the photo of the year already. With Mpls schools out because of yesterday's events, here's what kids from Kenny Community School did with their day off.

VP Vance's presser moments ago was deeply distressing. Also, my question would have been, “Mr Vice President, this seems like a pretty big announcement. Why isn’t President Trump himself making this announcement?” I continue to be convinced that POTUS is unable to carry out the job.

For those who cannot watch the video of the woman who was killed by an ICE Agent today in my home town, a mile from where I grew up and less than a mile from George Floyd Square, I will describe it as objectively as I can. (1/)

What happened in Mpls is why we are on alert, why we watch, why we record, why we report. And don't give them what they want, friends: Let's respond powerfully but peacefully. And to our immigrant neighbors: We will not back down. We still have your back. ICE is not welcome here. You are.

As a city council person, I’m just gonna leave this right here.

1/ It is clear that massive fraud has taken place on Gov. Walz's watch. As the top dog, he bears some responsibility. And those who are guilty of defrauding us should be held accountable within the scope of the law. There is no question here…

As a St Louis Park council person, it was an honor to meet Senator Klobuchar at this event today. As a father to two young adults considering fire fighting, l the Defending Our Heroes Act means a lot. Thanks to Julie and Meagan for channeling their grief into meaningful action.

We are honored that Senator @amyklobuchar.com chose the St. Louis Park Fire Department to hold an event today to talk about the Defending Our Heroes Act. Thanks to all who put in years of work to get this important bill through. This is our Mayor, Nadia Mohamed, introducing the Senator.

Tonite we light the 4th Advent Candle, the candle of LOVE. Beneath the cold hard surface of the frozen earth, LOVE is budding forth. LOVE is the very being and work of God, and tonight this 4th candle shines as a reminder that no human is “garbage”, that ALL are the Beloved of God, no exceptions.

Make no mistake about it: My town, St Louis Park MN, stands by, for, with, and behind our Somali community and all immigrant communities. ✊🏼🇸🇴

This is not how a well human talks. Just as Biden was not well and Dems saw and called for a change, so too do Republicans need to realize they are aiding abetting a maniacal president who is doing serious harm. Invoke the 25th now.

🕎 With the sun having found its weary way beneath the horizon, may all my celebrating Jewish friends find joy and peace in kindling the Hanukkah light this week! 🕎

Thank you @chrislhayes.bsky.social and the #WithPod for this week’s episode w/BenjaminWallace-Wells. As a “below the waterline” elected in MN who had a squad car watching his house after the Hortman murder I appreciate this conversation. Great episode. Peace, all. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

It's not about fraud. It's about fear. Old rich white guys commit fraud everyday, fleece the taxpayer everyday, rob the poor and working class everyday day. This about weakness and fear. It will not stand. But I stand. I stand with my Somali neighbors. 🇸🇴

I saw the pre-broadway production of "Purple Rain" on Saturday night with the fam. It was fun, but as a Prince fan, a student of theater and writing, I felt compelled to write an honest review. Don't hate me. open.substack.com/pub/paulbaud...
