Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

But what I ask is, so what now. What are you going to do with this. Telling the bully that they are a bully? There is no one in a position of immediate power in the government who will move a finger to stop this. They are all cowards, complicit, and/or supportive.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Absolutely! This is exactly why judge appointments & the judges themselves must be apolitical! As with any job, the person best qualified, irrespective of race, gender, condition of life, religious beliefs, etc., needs to get the job/position!

“Bondi included the demand for voter rolls in a letter she sent to the Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, on Saturday urging him to “change course” in the state. In addition to turning over the voter rolls, Bondi also said the state should turn over data on those receiving public assistance”

Key elements of extortion: Threat or Force: Using threats physical harm, exposing secrets, legal action or unlawful force Intent: To induce fear or compliance to gain something ICE are the wise "Guys" Trump Regime sends to only Democrat Govenors to threaten them their families & their Citizens

If you don't live in MN and want to help, work with others in your community to fundraise sustainably, over time. MN needs sustainable support for the foreseeable future. You have the power to organize with others and send regular aid. www.standwithminnesota.com

I does appear to be unconstitutional and illegal, but when has that ever truly stopped Trump? He merely ignores it or ties things up in legal chaos while carrying out something else that appears to be unconstitutional and illegal.

A veteran. Murdered. Shot in the back several times. The supreme court, the senate and the house of representatives are not protecting our Democracy. All we have is us. Our vote is our power. What crime did Ms. Good, Mr. Porter and Mr. Pretti commit. Name one with proof and evidence.

It's almost like reasonable people got together to reasonably divide federal and state powers and find ways to live together and then the reasonable people were replaced by politicians who don't give a shit and only care about their own power.

Let them, we are better off doing whatever it takes to stop this now than let it fester. Protest relentlessly. Ridicule these losers with no pity.

And along those same lines, good old Blondie and her incompetence actually sent a letter outlining what it would take to get the current regime to pull their goon squad-the voter rolls and total compliance. She made the state's job of proving their case much easier by doing so.

Here's what I'm wondering. If MN pays the Fed more than they receive in benefits, why do we need any fed $ for state services, i.e. education, transportation, etc? What am I missing?

Then stop calling them ICE agents and start calling them “The Brown Shirts”? Their modus operandi and function are more or less exactly the same as Hitler’s Brown Shirts. The fact that they’re Americans changes nothing as far I can tell? Names & uniforms may change but their purpose remains the same

A description of the criminal & his regime - unconstitutional & illegal. To Trump, laws are something to circumvent or plain out violate & the Trump lackeys on the Kangaroo Court giving this lying,corrupt, dangerous,megalomaniac almost total immunity have enabled & abetted this raging Frankenstein.

Imagine Joe Biden sending 3000 federal agents to Texas for not protecting the slaughtered Students of Uvalde? Or to Florida for their draconian laws? We’ve crapped on States rights.

Imagine? Under Obama troops went to Texas for training and they acted like a civil war had started. They're beyond hypocritical; they're insane and insanely un-/anti-empathetic. They see you as an unhuman, ever-present threat that can only be dealt with through violence and are pursuing that goal.

It’s trying to invoke the insurrection act without actually invoking the insurrection act. It’s a hybrid strategy. Very similar to Putin’s hybrid strategy of little green men who had no insignia, when taking over Crimea in 2014.

Everything they've done is illegal the problem is you chucklefucks won't enforce the Constitution, literally your oath. Your entire job description, in which donors are never mentioned.

It's time for Americans to arm themselves and shoot back. Otherwise, we'll get shot and killed. Not going out like that. I've worked and paid taxes in this country for 51 years. I refuse to let a pedophile convicted felon rule my life like a thug. I'm going to defend myself by any means necessary.

Unconstitutional, illegal, immoral and just plain wrong. Whatever the law says, or Trump or Noem say, it is just wrong as any three-year-old would tell you.

It’s called: A TERRORIST HOSTAGE STATE & Frumps PERSONAL Attorney Bondi gave Governor Waltz Frump’s HIS *RADSON* DEMAND which was: Send Frump ALL of Minnesotan’s PRIVATE VOTER DATA & some other private Minnesotans Info! WHY? Does Frump need that VOTER DATA to RIG the next ELECTIONS?

Sue the GD ignorant AG who actually put in writing her blackmail... Yes, you can sue the AG for blackmail (often classified legally as extortion), as it is illegal to make threats to reveal damaging information, destroy reputation, or cause financial harm to

compel money or action. Victims can pursue civil lawsuits for damages and report the govt to law enforcement for criminal prosecution. ands make suture the police take a criminal report with a copy of her letter..sure for $1Billion as moneys that MI has expended for these animals..

Ellison sounds like a tea party Republican. That’s how far the GOP has fallen. Today’s Democrats are better conservatives than the GOP. And that, folks is a winning message. Every Dem needs to shout “we are the real conservatives” and explain how it’s true. Easiest job in the world.

ICE’s cruelty and lawlessness are symptoms of a presidency driven by obsession, grievance, and emotional instability. Trump’s escalating paranoia, rage, and impulse are not strength—they’re warning signs. No nation survives when one man’s unchecked derangement is allowed to steer its institutions.

The federal govt is in charge of immigration. States have no rights. Courts have upheld this. Ask Texas, which didn’t get to halt illegal immigration into Texas. You can’t ignore duly passed federal laws.

Ellison why don’t you start to prosecute the killers of Alex & Renee? I want accountability for the killers. Accountability for all the chain of command. The regime killed 2 innocents and the only consequence is the demotion of one of the responsible? This is not the justice Alex and Renee deserve

They knew that place existed and exactly what it was because it was targeted. That’s the reality. And the real takeaway should be this no one is safe, and no group is exempt. Thinking otherwise is a dangerous mistake.

Imagine all blue states withheld federal taxes, red states would beg and plead for them to pay their bills, because blue states pay the bills while red states brag about.......

I remember when the GOP was the party of state's rights. Clearly every Republican today is an outright fascist & should be treated as such.

The way I see it is the Federal Govt is supposed to assist States' Rights. To defend the Union. Not to target States' because of foul weather, finance, or political stances...

Besides being grossly illegal and unconstitutional, Americans are just getting started in terms of exercising their right to assemble and redress grievances. This administration continues to miscalculate American resolve and their tolerance for being strong armed. Civil war is no longer hyperbole.

And like I just said elsewhere: bsky.app/profile/pcun...

In addition to demanding cuts to ICE funding, the Epstein file release must also be tied to Any reopening of the government. Each day of government closure, a new demand should be advanced. Like Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi being removed/fired/impeached and full disclosure of the Homan bribery file.

Maybe Minnesota should start deputizing peaceful protestors, at the next mass protest, deputize the 10s of thousands of protesters.

I can’t imagine why anyone would believe a word out of Trump’s mouth. He’s proven over and over and over again he’s not trustworthy

The Admin is a RICO enterprise using ICE,the military, threats of war & tarriffs to hide crimes, commit securities fraud & to extort bribes/emoluments as "protection", laundering this $ thru real estate & crypto. DOJ won't charge but NY AG (for Wall St) can & tie it together.

Agreed. Blue states are the ones filling the federal coffers—they pay far more in taxes than they get back. That gives them leverage. If you’re footing the bill, you should have a real say how the money is spent. Blue states need to be far more forceful with Trump administration and MAGA rugrats!

While our politicians continue to do nothing but lip service, the dedicated citizens of Minneapolis continue to provide us with direction and commitment to get through this.

And trump and his DoJ minions KNOW IT. They won't stop. The courts need to be the bulwark against such illegal, unconstitutional behavior. Too late to nip it in the bud - but not too late to SLAM TE DOOR on it NOW.

Its hilarious that people think a judges ruling makes any kind of difference, trump and his nazis are gonna do whatever they want regardless of any rulings, and if you think its gonna go any other direction then you should probably educate yourself on his history with court rulings
