Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

📉25% LOWER ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY! Wowzers—one of the largest long-term safety studies ever undertaken: “Among 28 mil adults, those who received an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine were less likely to die in subsequent 4 years than unvaccinated, corresponding to a 25% lower risk of death from all causes.”

‼️ Russia will not be able to capture Donbas before August 2027, — ISW

Giving Russia the rest of the Ukrainian Donbas would be a strategic mistake, wrote the American Institute for the Study of War, arguing that it would take the Russian army at least 18 months to achieve this by force.

Absolute BS! How dare DOJ squash investigation of officers who killed Alex Pretti &, AGAIN, in their evil, ghoulish action they should investigate person who was killed? IMPEACH Bondi! Middle finger to the rule of law & justice. @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov
This is complete bullshit, and it's a criminal administration's transparent effort to cover up a crime.

Thank you Steve Simon for standing up for MN! @mnsecofstate.bsky.social
TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter?

SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note

GET ICE OUT OF MN! They are terrorizing our state. They won't even stay away from our schools. MN Republicans refuse to even demand ICE stays away from our schools. @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social @klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov
Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.

We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

A man once asked us what we had to lose. And I guess it's the innocence of believing you can have a police state for some and not for you.

ICE Thugs across our nation. NO funding for ICE. They are terrorizing our nation. @schumer.senate.gov
I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Thank you, judicial. These judges have been holding strong. Drag them into court. Lawless Noem/DHS/Bondi/DOJ intentionally violate court orders. IMPEACH Noem; FIRE Bondi.
👀 Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appeal personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders.

Honored that in his last days of fame and fortune at CBP the disgraced Gregory Bovino chose to attack, among others, me.

Exactly - you do not get a mulligan for murder. GET ICE OUT OF MN! No funding for ICE. STOP them nationwide. NO tactical gear; NO masks; NO military weapons; NO breaching doors without judicial warrants; NO persecuting asylum seekers; NO 'show me your papers'; Reprocess all background checks;
Excellent Tim Miller.

A reshuffle of the faces in charge, and one guy leaving isn't even the beginning of being enough. We need ICE and CPB out of Minnesota. And we need fundamental changes in the behavior of ICE everywhere.

GET ICE OUT OF MN! Do not fund ICE!
Tim's furious and I'm furious. I think we reassured each other that we're not crazy, that the Trump administration's war on individuals' rights IS infuriating, and the excuses from the enablers and complicity of apologists and donors are also infuriating.

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

Thank you @warnock.senate.gov Say NO to ICE funding. GET ICE OFF OUR STREETS. No tactical gear; de-militarize; new background checks on all ICE; NO masks; NO military weapons; stop illegal house breaches; stop attacking asylum seekers; stop 'show me your papers'; stop car breaches & abandoning...
