Have you ever wanted to be a hero? Save someone’s life? I’m not talking about in a superhero kind of way. There is another way you can help save a life—by donating an organ. Now, you may say, “I’ve checked the box on my license; anybody can have any organs they want when I die.” Great!

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities
This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

I’ve now seen videos from both the mayor of Minneapolis and the governor Tim Walz, and both of them look like they have not slept in weeks
Frey: "This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation our city is being put in. We cannot be at a place in America where we have 2 governmental agencies literally fighting one another. We are put in this position b/c we have approximately 600 police officers & there are 3,000 ICE agents."

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

This Administration is undermining the Fed’s independence and the rule of law—both of which are fundamental to our democracy.
We MUST oppose threats to our nation's checks & balances.
