Every two weeks I take my kid and his friend to Stillwater and I really don’t know what to do there so I sit in the car and listen to podcasts.

We’re fundraising for bond to bail a community member out of detention. This family runs a beloved South Minneapolis restaurant that was already targeted by ICE. Now one of them has been abducted.

One of my first memories of Jacob Frey was when the Vikings stadium was either new or under construction and he was excited about somebody on fb suggesting that now Minneapolis could have the Olympics. He is just that type of dude.

In order to abolish ICE and defeat fascism, people in this country need to rethink their relationship to the criminal system and why it determines one's fate.

My wife learned recently that her Italian ancestors are from Bari, a city that, among other things, is known for stealing bones they thought belonged to St Nicholas during a crusade.

We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

I think the dude with the doctorate in psychology, whose search results are his own website and social media sites, who makes bad memes about covid and sometimes implies as though now is as bad as early 2020, is not actually a credible epidemiological source.

I think it would be easier not to fund them to do it then to hand them more money but beg that it all be double checked.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.
And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.
