This is a good summary of the situation in Minnesota
I was reading this thinking about how many pundits are still saying- but this only polls 50/50 while way more people care about affordability! But, the point of leadership is to make people who don't care about this care about this bc it is wrong. Otherwise, you are a hollow shell of a person

The funny thing about this standard MAGA response to protest is that in this case not only is it once again a lie, but the people they’re protesting — immigration officers — are literally paid agitators and chaos agents from out of state.
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

Immigration officers claim sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says
The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant

Liam’s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything he’d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Truth is :they actually do. China has more wind power than any other country.

This is insane. Asking a sixth grader to prove his citizenship
Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

ICE not allowing agents to have unsupervised copies of ICE policies or to take any notes is an admission by ICE that it knows the policies are illegal.

Bernie nails it again. So I'll state this again. The end goal of an oligarchy is a fascist state. Three essential actions:
Hoard the wealth.
Own the means of production.
Own the means of communication. (The media is lying to you.)

Blatantly unconstitutional!
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
