It’s time for our legislators to take a lesson in courage from eighth graders like Lydia and stand up to the gun lobby.

The people most severely assaulted by ICE/CBP in Minnesota are dead, but glad someone from there will be at SOTU to represent the damage done.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Minnesota yarn store's 'melt ICE' red hat takes off around the world YouTube video by FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul

A crafting store in Minnesota protests ICE by selling patterns they designed similar to red hats worn by Norwegians in the 40s to protest occupation by the Nazis. The proceeds go towards helping immigrants that can’t leave their home, already raising $650K.

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

They can’t vape but we can let them go down the AI rabbit hole cause that’s not a problem.

Raskin: To promote justice for the people, you've got to listen to the victims like the women seated behind you today. Those are just some of the hundreds of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's global sex trafficking ring. You still haven't with them.

My little sister has spent the year doing the impossible: making an ornery group of seniors and an eager group of emergent bilinguals READ BOOKS. Her mission is to encourage reading (in TX 😩) and we’d be grateful if you would consider donating a book or two. +

Midnight Ranting: he’ll send in the military if federal buildings are damaged. ICE is using the Whipple Federal Building as a holding cell and guess who’s trashing it? Go figure…

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Richards is currently the president/CEO of the Fortune Society, a leading nonprofit that assists incarcerated/ formerly incarcerated

Open letter to our Senators:

Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.

We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

Must Watch Video: “ICE Took Their Classmate. They Started Writing Letters.” You’ll want to watch this new New York Times video, which is introduced by this line: The students of Valley View Elementary, including the schoolmates of Liam Ramos, wrote letters to …

More of his outrageous lies which he’ll forget in minutes and then ramble more nonsense forgetting what he already said. He doesn’t have a clue and that’s the way Miller and company want it.

📣 Say Their Names
📍 Trump Tower, NYC

Today, Rise and Resist shut down Trump Tower today. We read aloud, all of the names of the people killed by I.C.E., or who died while in I.C.E. custody since January, 2026.

This should piss everyone off, and our tax dollars paid for this.

A massive building purchased by ICE for $70 million in Arizona to “warehouse” immigrants.

Calling this “housing” is a lie. This is storage. This is treating human beings like inventory.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

Whoa!

WATCH: Rep. Castro recounts visit with Liam Ramos, 5-year-old detained by ICE “These kids are very traumatized … and the parents themselves traumatized, grappling with how to help their kids, and they can't,” Castro said of his visit to the ICE detention facility in Dilley, Tex...

Children being held at an ICE detention center in Dilley, Texas, are "despondent and depressed," Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, said after a visit there this week. https://to.pbs.org/3Z9u14w

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

When you sell your soul you are completely lost. The people that truly knew Alex spoke up for him as did Alex himself through his unselfish actions.

Minnesota is more than what you see on TV.

We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors.

I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do.

The irony

How much more in your face can it be?

"Why are you asking me for my paperwork?"
"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."
"Where were you born sir?"
"Where were you born at?"
"Put your hands behind your back."

$1.5T for the military budget
$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$470M to send National Guard into cities
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$100M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.
