Good to know Chuck Schumer's meeting with Trump yesterday really worked in curbing the Republicans and their brutal crackdown on Democrats and innocent Americans in Minnesota.
Must have been a helluva convincing meeting.
Well done, Chuck!
Oh, look, the DOJ is now investigating Walz and Frey.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
