DFL legislators need to insist on a compensation fund of tens of millions of dollars to offset economic harms of the ICE siege. It infuriates me that Mercado Central has to hold a $500,000 bake sale to hold onto their building. Tens of fucking millions.

More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.

What is A Better Yard?
A community of Upper Midwest homeowners changing how landscapes are done, so that we can push back on chemical dependence, bring back pollinators and songbirds, and protect our clean water.
(PS: We just switched names from Minnesota Gardening before this ICE hell broke out.)

Arresting journalists is an outrageous attack on the First Amendment and is a tactic meant to silence the truth.
Keep speaking up and don’t turn away from Minnesota.

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

There it is. Trump supports the operation of fear, intimidation, and killing ICE is conducting here in Minnesota.
He has only tried to “bring down the temperature” so Rs and Ds will give him praise and pass the funding for ICE’s lawless, untrained thugs.
Please don’t fall for it. ICE must leave.

EISEN: Don't you think Democrats are tapping into something in the mood of the country when it comes to the funding of ICE?
BESSENT: President Trump has brought down the temperature on the situation. He is urging them not to shut down the government.
