VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE

NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

I don't know why I thought of this but Minnesota's new statewide earned sick and safe time law prevents your employer for asking for proof of why you're not at work when you use it until you're out for a certain number of days. One day is not enough to require proof. Just thinking about that.

Yes. Do you know how many families are being supported by their neighbors right now? Families afraid to leave home being fed by their neighborhoods; immigrant communities feeding the old hippies standing on their street corners with whistles in 10-degree snowstorms. They cannot break us

Just crying in the club (my couch) b/c a lot of folks who don't know the law are giving small biz bad advice about I-9 audit notices. PLEASE direct any small business owner you know not to publicly post about any notice and to contact a lawyer. I can help Mpls and Henn Co businesses at no cost.

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights.

We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs.

Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

More unaccountable thuggery, via the AP Twitter account. After being screamed at not to knee him in the face, the agent...knees him in the face again. See for yourself

REPORTER: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

LEAVITT: Oh, ok. So you're a biased reporters with a biased opinion. You're a left-wing hack.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
