In case the algorithm hasn’t delivered this to you yet, Donald Trump wrote a truly insane message to the Norwegian, Prime Minister, and here it is. The entire Republican Party is still lockstep with this guy.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

The sort of people who support ICE and the Trump Administration are fine with this because she’s black, because she’s a woman, because she‘s Somali-American, and because THEY are shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture.
Nasra Ahmed, 23, was walking through the parking lot of her aunt’s St. Paul apartment complex when she found herself surrounded by 12 agents. Ahmed, born in the USA, says she showed them her I.D. She was forcefully detained and jailed anyway for more than 2 days. www.twincities.com/2026/01/18/s...

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Detention, beating and deaths of American citizens are just "collateral damage" to ICE agents.

Liar. How does he sleep at night?
They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

BRENNAN: What percentage of those you have in custody have committed crimes?

NOEM: 70% of them

B: It's not 70%

N: Yes it is. You guys pick and choose numbers

B: Your agency says 47% have criminal convictions

N: Wrong again. We'll get you the correct numbers

B: Well, that's from your agency
