Conflicting stories of shooting by ICE. Let's see...🤔 Every time there's been a conflict, DHS Trump Noem were blatant liars. I'm not stupid. I'm going with my daily experience of DHS & Trump lies about ICE since June 2025.
911 call after Minneapolis ICE shooting differs from DHS’s account of incident. "The video captures tense moments inside the home as a woman speaks with a 911 dispatcher. ....She claims... [when her husband] ran inside, agents shot through the door, hitting him in the leg." kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
Neighbors, DHS share conflicting stories on federal agent shooting in north Minneapolis
A Facebook Live video shared by Minnesota State Sen. Erin Maye Quade is now offering new insight into what may have happened moments before the shooting.

I think it’s pretty astonishing how they think being trans is just something you’d flippantly do because you love x sport SO MUCH you’d change your identity & opt in to bullying, abuse, harassment, & potentially physical violence for the “love of the game.” 🙄

How many countries is Trump taking over? Dictator King of America. President of Venezuela. Planning his takeover of Greenland. Now adding an occupying force in Gaza to "disarm" Hamas, governed by Trump's son in law & his puppet Rubio (how many jobs does he have now?) www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/u...

Republican RJ May of South Carolina, outspoken LGBTQ bigot who screamed about the harms done to children by drag performers & trans people, was just sentenced to 17 yrs for, you guessed it, explicit child porn including child rape. Any bets on a pardon from Trump? www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/01/gop-...
GOP lawmaker said trans people “harm” children. Now he's going to prison for child porn. - LGBTQ Nation
He was caught sharing hundreds of images of kids, including pictures of adults raping seven-year-olds.

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

First they came for transgender children…
The Trump Regime continues its war on transgender youth. Trying to intimidate Children’s Hospitals in Blue states where gender affirming care remains legal. They are trying to exterminate trans youth. And they want to force every trans girl to experience male puberty so she is marked for life.

This is good news. And I'm glad it slows Trump. But it won't stop him. He'll go to Roberts to whine for what he wants. There's NO legitimate reason for Trump to take state voting information. He wants it to cheat. You MAGAts love to say we're a Republic. So what happened to that?
BREAKING: A federal judge dismissed the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit aimed at forcing California to turn over sensitive personal data of the state's voters.

This is good news. Voters should never have to choose between our privacy and our right to participate in our democracy.

South Carolina is on an anti-abortion rampage despite 53% support legal abortion. Proposed 6 new crazy laws, one letting the state seize abortion fund resources & imprisoning for 3 yrs (“must be imprisoned for not more than 3 yrs”) any abortion fund volunteer or donor. www.wcnc.com/article/news...

Trump has already withheld funds from sanctuary cities & states.(Eg.My county lost weekend, evening, & disability bus services.) Blue states MUST hold their own federal withholding. And we need a taxpayer revolt this April from all of us who have to pay the feds. NO TAXATION W/O REPRESENTATION.

Trump’s reign of terror continues. We watched ICE gas, shoot w/ projectiles, & brutalize peaceful protestors for months in Portland & Chicago. Now tripling down in Minneapolis. This horror is coming to a city near you. STOP TRUMP POLICE STATE! CALL CONGRESS NOW: 202-224-3121
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us.

Hey, Brett. Here’s another #KavanaughStop
You proud of yourself??
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
