Fox has never been news, but it’s now essentially Trump state media, existing only to divide and deceive. Every lie they spread weakens our democracy and fuels hate.

We’re out in Eden Prairie every Saturday to show that truth still matters and the people won’t be silenced.
"Fox Takedown: Twin Cities.” A cartoon fox is crossed out with a prohibition symbol. Details in circular blue shapes list “Saturdays 10–11AM,” “11358 Viking Dr, Eden Prairie,” and “Picket along Prairie Center Dr.” The bottom text says, “When Fox lies, democracy dies.” A logo for MN50501 appears on the right side.

STREET PROTEST FEEDBACK- BAN ICE
Trump really shot himself in the foot with these ICE RAIDS. The response to our street protest BANISHING ICE was overwhelming. Not only honked, but laid on their horns.

Two highlights:

2-year-old waving to us from the backseat.

A big semi laying on the horn.

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.

As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

These firings are illegal—

And yet another example of Trump finding new ways to inflict harm on the American people and the programs they rely on.

He's playing with Americans' livelihoods to try and help Republicans pass a budget that would kick you off your health care.

Russell Vought, OMB Director, is using this shutdown to further the aims of Project 2025. He is slashing the federal workforce, and dismantling our agencies.

This is not just a shutdown standoff — it's finishing the job of DOGE. Take action for federal workers here! zurl.co/up9de
Graphic with two red and white images of Trump and Vought facing each other in profile. Torn off newspaper text reads: Trump administration begins laying off federal workers amid shutdown. Text at the top reads: Trump and OMB director Vought are firing patriotic public servants in their attempt to advance project 2025. Red text on a dark blue background reads: What’s Going on? Two white bubbles of text float behind a red and white image of Vought in profile. Bubble 1: Russell vought, director of the omb and author of project 2025, announced mass REDUCTIONS-IN-FORCE (RIFS) in federal agencies. Bubble 2: the exact scope is still unclear, but reports say LAYOFFS HAVE HIT at least the Interior, Homeland Security, Treasury, EPA, Commerce, Education, Energy, HHS and HUD. Poster graphic reading: This isn’t just a shutdown standoff. Project 2025 aims to critically slash our federal workforce and dismantle our agencies. Doge already laid off 300k. Project 2025’s real goal? At least 1 Million federal employees laid off. In bold red highlighted text: Vought wants to finish the job. Highlighted text at top of graphic reads: Solidarity with federal workers! In red text below: Take Action! Two blue bubbles read: Call Congress and let them know: Stop Vought! and Stand with Federal Workers! Links in our Bio to sign: A list of petitions: Solidarity with NASA, EPA, FEMA, NIH

We won't stand for this administration using hardworking Americans as pawns in a political game.

America’s unions will see you in court, President Trump. aflcio.org/press/releas...
AFL-CIO: America’s Unions Take Trump to Court Over Illegal Firing of Federal Workers. AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler issued the following statement after the Trump administration illegally fired federal workers after shutting down the government to avoid fixing the health care crisis: “Donald Trump shut down the government, choosing to lock workers out of their jobs instead of doing his. As millions of workers miss paychecks and Americans open letters saying their health care costs are skyrocketing, the Trump administration is creating even more pain and chaos by moving to illegally fire thousands of federal workers today. We won’t stand for this administration using hardworking Americans as pawns in a political game. “America's unions will see him in court.”
