The domestic terrorist organization known as "ICE" is stalking people at food pantries. And following people who deliver food to those too scared to leave their residences to go to those pantries. Despicable, lawless ghouls.

In a world of constant noise and political chaos, protecting your peace isn't passive—it’s an act of resilience. Log off, breathe, and guard your headspace. You cannot pour from an empty cup or think clearly in a storm. Stay grounded.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal shooting.

This is maybe the most shocking thing that anyone could even imagine happening at a moment like this.

But a bizarre and horrifying event like this makes perfect sense. It's transactional and tied to murder and mayhem.

I just responded to the scene at 26th and Nicollet shortly after the observer was shot. They teargassed and/or pepper sprayed Jana Shortal of KARE11 at the scene and she was being treated when I walked up. ICE have a fancy camera they are using to scan the faces of the crowd.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.

This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:

“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Please understand what it means when journalists are evacuating their family members out of town.

In any other country, we would be approaching "foreign sanctions" territory
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
