Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

Proud of my other Minnesotans!
In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Does anyone have that sharpie tool where we can name every one of the people smiling, nodding, or even standing silently as Trump unloads this racist attack?
Because I can see a future in which a lot of people will be saying, “I wasn’t there.”

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Unbelievable.
Sigh.
At least *someone* was smart enough to just add on letters that can later be removed.

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

Minnesota is a great state, Minnesotans are good people, because we value everyone. Folks of Somali descent deserve to be left alone!

Despite Donald Trump calling Somali people "garbage" and Kristi Noem seeking to rid the US of every immigrant, I write that humans have a reset button to accept those who are "other." America has entered a phase of madness. Kindness and compassion must prevail!

This dog was spotted politely waiting by a pizza truck. He doesn’t have to say what he wants. They already know his order. It is pizza. 13/10 (IG: lauren.bardini)

Trump will pardon him.
Now that Karoline Leavitt just confirmed that Frank Bradley gave the order for the second strike that killed two people clinging to boat wreckage (per @atrupar.com) this seems doubly relevant:
News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me.
In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror:

I can't believe the degree of hatred
I keep hoping we are going to get the names of these cowardly thugs.
One of these days….

Riddle me this, how in the fuck is this making our communities any safer? This ICE agent sprays this disabled woman directly in the face in St Paul, Minnesota with pepper spray and then throws her to the ground. I hope she sues the hell out of ICE for this‼️#Abolish 🧊🧊🧊

Totally unqualified to be on a school board. Tone deaf about how that word can affect students...
Start paying attention to your local governments folks. If you don't believe in trickle down economics, the same rule applies to politics. I am being repetitive and its on purpose.

Holy shit. This is why I never returned to Iowa and live in relatively sane MN!
The Des Moines Register published an op-ed by a man who believes in the great replacement theory and wrote for Vdare. The op-Ed argues no immigrant can be vetted enough to be safe to enter this country. White washing racism in the name of local journalism.
