Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

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.

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN. This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible. It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections. Wake up: fascism is here.

I literally do not understand why the trump administration is deciding to throw away the minuscule credibility they have left for an ICE agent who filmed himself murdering an American citizen.

ICYMI — more great analysis. This time focused on the bullet in the front window and its angle. And let’s just say, it does not look good for the ICE officer.

DHS and MAGA are spreading propaganda claiming the Minneapolis driver tried to run over ICE. That claim is completely false. Multiple videos from different angles (recorded by people on the scene) clearly show that this did not happen. ICE killed a US citizen. Justice is required for this killing.

Walz: "What Trump tweeted the other night put the Hortman children at risk. They have to look at security. Put my family at risk again. What he's doing the Somali community is unconscionable ... for God's sake, the kids of a murdered Speaker. And [Rs] can't speak up and say 'this is wrong. stop it'"

Instead of Bernie Moreno creepily following us to the cars we use to get to work in the Capitol and writing down their VIN numbers, I'd suggest he use his time in more productive ways …

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Trump’s refusal to fund SNAP is illegal. The Trump administration has to stop playing politics with Americans’ ability to feed their families.

BREAKING: A court ordered the Department of Defense to stop censoring educational materials discussing race and gender in schools on military bases. Books removed from the schools must be returned to the shelves immediately.

Someone explain to President Vulva Neck the White House is the people’s house. He’s merely a temporary occupant and doesn’t get to turn it into one of his gaudy country clubs.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

People are stressed out about the cost of groceries, the cost of housing, the lack of decent wages. People who vote Democrat are feeling it. People who vote Republican are feeling it. People who vote third party are feeling it. People who don’t vote are feeling it.

If Biden made a gaffe this egregious and embarrassing it would be front page news in the New York Times. But now it's just Trump being Trump!

Trump has difficultly pronouncing "Azerbaijan" while taking credit for ending a war between "Azerbaijan and Albania" (he meant Armenia)

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

I don’t advocate violence of any kind, political or otherwise, on any side. I also won’t be gaslit into believing a foul hate-monger was simply a regular guy with different views. Here is a sampling of what he was all about:
