I think that most Minnesotans understand:
1) That ending the ICE surge does not end ICE presence or activity in Minnesota. It just goes back to pre-surge levels.
2) That the surge is just moving elsewhere in USA to disrupt other communities.
3) This is not over.

Many of the worst dictatorships in history were born from leftist ideology.
I hope we can keep that in mind as we try to dig ourselves out of this mess we are in and that we are thoughtful and cautious about what comes next.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

I heard threats of blanket retribution coming from one ICE opponent today that are as terrifying to me as what I'm seeing from ICE and DHS.
I hope we can do better than that.

I work with a team of talented developers in Bangladesh and will be thinking of them today as the head into this election. Hoping that things go better for their country as a result of this election.
Two years ago they were on extended lock-down, internet shut off, and violence in the streets.

More than 120 million people in Bangladesh are expected to vote on Thursday to pick a new leader. It’s the first national election since a student revolution in the summer of 2024 toppled the previous prime minister, Sheikh Hasina. Here's what to know: nyti.ms/4akdjG9

The halftime show was "different/interesting". I didn't understand it and I didn't especially connect with the music.
But, I enjoy seeing new things and stretching myself. I was certainly not offended in any way.
If it irritated a few closed minded folks, that's a plus.

Seems that the league just put forward it's latest offer.
"This ended a more than six-week wait from the players association for a counter to its last offer."

As much excitement as there was for a potential Giannis trade, there was a lot of nervousness, too, at the prospects of saying goodbye to some valued players.
Jaden is staying. Naz is staying. Julius is staying. Rudy is staying. Nothing ever got close with MLW. Wolves march on.
