🧵Trump sees ICE in Minnesota as being like the takedown of Maduro in Venezuela. This confirms that the mindset is a state of war against Blue America.
Block ICE already. It is the paramilitary wing of MAGA.

Walz told me that when he spoke to Trump on the phone the president compared the immigration operations in Minneapolis to the military mission he ordered in Venezuela. www.ms.now/news/walz-sa...
Walz says Trump compared Minneapolis surge to Venezuela mission
The Minnesota governor tells MS NOW’s Jacob Soboroff that the reference shows where Trump’s head is. The White House denies that.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.

When everything feels uncertain, I look to the rhythms of the land. They teach me to trust what I can’t yet see.
Pause for a moment today. Notice what’s quietly growing around you, and within you.

If you can’t win, why not cheat, that seems to be the MAGA playbook. The Republican-controlled North Carolina Senate has passed a new congressional map in a 26-20 vote, setting up an expected final vote in the state House.
