Trump's ICE surge is deeply unpopular across Minnesota, a new NBC News Decision Desk/KARE 11/Minnesota Star Tribune poll finds
Poll: Trump’s immigration crackdown deeply unpopular in Minnesota
Federal deportation efforts are also unpopular nationally, turning immigration from a political strength to a problem for the president ahead of the midterm elections.

Please - if you live outside of Minnesota, even in a "blue state," make sure your senators know that they should vote NO on H.J. Res. 140 to protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. It allows a Chilean mega-corp to mine and ship to China for processing - damaging wilderness in the process.
Which future will we choose?

The Senate votes any day on H.J. Res. 140. This is a critical moment for the BWCA.

When we show up together, it matters.

Join us Feb 25 at the MN Capitol. Rally at 1:30PM!
Be part of the crowd lawmakers cannot ignore.

Tell your senators to vote NO.
Details in bio.

We have received numerous credible reports of torture, killing, and inhumane treatment of detained individuals at the Camp East Montana migrant detention facility, located within Fort Bliss. #txlege

They think compute is expensive on Earth, imagine building a supply chain to manufacture literally anything *on the moon*
Elon Musk told employees at xAI, his artificial intelligence company, on Tuesday that the company needed a factory on the moon to build A.I. satellites and a massive catapult to launch them into space.

ICE in my neighborhood in East St Paul this morning. They have not drawn down. They are outside of a school.

It’s wild to me that more Democrats don’t see these numbers and smell blood in the water. Instead, they want to step back. They wanna go back to having nice polite dinner parties.
New Strib poll confirms my rough guess: 1/3rd of Minnesotans are shitheads who support ICE, but 2/3rds are with us. 69% in the ‘burbs! (Abolish ICE, like Defund the Police, is a public-opinion loser. Still, 79% say ICE should abolished OR reformed.) www.startribune.com/poll-trumps-... (gift link) 1/

Here's the "do something, bitch" bodycam video from Chicago last Oct when a Border Patrol supervisor shot Marimar Martinez 5 times. They lied about her "ambushing" and ramming their vehicle, called her a "domestic terrorist." Case against her fell apart.

This is Minneapolis:

As you walk up to a protest demanding an eviction moratorium, the local donut shop owner rolls up with a van full of donuts.

They park in the lot and open the back doors for everyone to take what they want.
This is Minneapolis:

As you take your first "day off" in over a month, you make eye contact with the person stocking the shelves at the grocery store. When they see your necklace they break out into a wide smile behind their mask.

"I am ok because of what you are doing. Thank you." they say.
This is Minneapolis:

Its home.

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

Like 75% of the US Olympic curlers are from Minnesota. A lot of them curl out of two clubs in Saint Paul, one club is in Frogtown, a neighborhood that has been very heavily targeted by ICE. These curlers are good neighbors.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

it's always a good day to join @twincitiesdsa.org
Yesterday, after explaining how he rations his pancreas medication due to cost, my 80 y.o. dad proudly showed me the hi-vis vest he has for neighborhood patrol, and I became acutely aware of the rage I hold for all the actions/inaction that have led us here. So today I joined the @twincitiesdsa.org

I keep thinking about how we won't get a true, full accounting of what's happening in the ICE detention centers until we have new leadership and root out all elements of MAGA from this country. And I don't know what it will take and I do not trust Dem leadership to do it.

Is it good when people are asking you about your immortal soul?
McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question

GIFT LINK: A president who has taken a backhoe to the White House and threatened to strip Kennedy Center down to its steel skeleton cannot and should not be entrusted with another irreplaceable national treasure — Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. www.startribune.com/burcum-the-h...
Burcum: The House betrayed the BWCA. The Senate is next.
Congress could hand over the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to the Trump administration, which has already shown its contempt for science and conservation.

Sorry to be Radical Left but I don't think we should put people who haven't committed a crime, and aren't even accused of committing a crime, into any sort of "Detention"
