After three days, the most striking takeaway from talking with people here is how *angry* everyone is. Heartbroken, weary, yes, those things too. But above all else, they are furious, and not shy about it. When Minnesotans are volunteering their feelings to a stranger, you know it’s bad.

For over 50 years, @pflag.org has brought together LGBTQ+ people, families, and allies to fight for equality. As someone who’s been involved with PFLAG for decades, I can tell you that with attacks on our community escalating across the country, that work has never felt more urgent.
I think he meant never.
On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.
Yesterday I was proud to vote no on Republicans' voter suppression legislation that would make it harder for women, students, troops, and Native Americans to vote in federal elections.
This bill is a disgusting attempt at nationalizing voting and disenfranchising Americans.
Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
Ellison: "I've never been prouder to be a Minnesotan. I'm so proud of the people who helped their neighbors, who stood up for their First Amendment rights. I hope it's over and now it's a time to heal and put things back together again."
Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."
If the goal were truly public safety, the numbers would look very different. Minneapolis won’t be silent while enforcement actions target innocent families. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-arr...

This regime's cruelty knows no bounds.

Good Q @SarahKSilvermam
By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet
Headline from Daily Voice: “Gov. Wes Moore Pushes Back On Proposed ICE Detention Facility In Western Maryland”
I have very serious concerns about the Department of Homeland Security’s plans to build an ICE detention center in Washington County.
You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump.
This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

As President Trump’s immigration crackdown continues in Minnesota, many immigrants who are detained in the Twin Cities are ending up in a desolate detention camp in the desert of West Texas, only to be released later in El Paso with no money and no obvious way to get home. trib.al/jyi6Rca
MEMPHIS: “Memphis Safe Task Force” (U.S. marshal) caught KICKING A PUPPY 😳 as they arrested a guy for on a drug warrant
“He was harmless. There’s no reason he should’ve done that.”
@GovBillLee this is what we’re paying $1 Million a day for?🤔

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.
Operation Metro Surge is hurting small business and doing long-term damage to Minnesota’s economy.
It’s time for this campaign of retribution to end.

Following ICE’s deadliest year in two decades, we do not need another massive ICE detention facility.
ICE has caused enough harm to our communities.
They have proven they cannot be trusted to operate detention facilities safely or transparently.

Great news, January 6 hero Officer Harry Dunn is running for Congress in Maryland. We need many more great human beings like him in govt.
Jacob Frey: "The continued presence of 2,000 federal agents in a city that only has 600 police officers is still not deescalation"
Verge headline: I was detained by federal agents in Minneapolis Photo depicts a person wearing a hood entering an area via a gate on a chain link fence
One local who was arrested while protesting at the site of Alex Pretti’s killing talked to The Verge about his harrowing experience in custody at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building and how the community is fighting back.

NEW: My friend is running for Steny Hoyer’s seat. LFG!!
Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.
ICE must be abolished.
