That story of the little boy they abducted from his home in Minnesota and sent to Texas after using him as bait to arrest and deport his family members cracked a primal fury within me. We are dealing with an evil incarnate, empowered by the full force and purse of our federal government.

I'm feeling so furious. In what world does a 5 year old child need to be detained and shipped to Texas, seperated from his family? What's his crime, being alive? Existing? Our communities are being terrorized by the federal government, and those who can stop it are too big of cowards to do so.

Saint Paul Public Schools, one of the biggest school districts in the state, is closed for the next two days because teachers need time to build hybrid learning because unaccountable masked, armed federal government goons have made it too difficult for nonwhite children to leave their homes.

Talking about how high the average ticket price for the CFB championship us not a flex. That is a reflection of the sad state of sports for the the everyday fan. These games have become unattainable for most.

I suspect 9 of 10 Americans are unaware that the Hmong are here because they aided the US in the Vietnam war, and then had to flee as refugees afterwards. Quite the “thank you” we’re giving them 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
ICE is allegedly hunting for Hmong people in Minneapolis and as I watched video of the incident lo and behold @whstancil.bsky.social was on the scene

I laugh whenever "space force" is announced among the armed forces. No disrespect to the women and men in the space force. It's just funny.

I can’t believe we went from “eat at immigrant owned businesses every day to support” to having so many restaurants attacked that we’ve reached “eat at immigrant owned businesses who have had staff kidnapped every day to support”

I hate American sports scheduling. Both the Wild game and national championship are scheduled to start at 6:30. Neither will start until 6:45 at the earliest. I am spoiled by the Bundesliga.

Wisconsin - Minnesota with a crazy finish... Badgers had two FTs to make it a 2 possession game and missed them both, Gophers hit a three to tie, Badgers hit a three to beat the buzzer and win

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

VW should just use the money they waste on that club and invest in renewables instead.

They hate Minnesota because we are a people who believe that "we all do better when we all do better."
Minnesota is one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest states in the country *because* of our openness and generosity.
Our quality of life is a direct challenge to their zero-sum worldview.

Homeland Security’s description of what happened and the narrative they’re pushing clearly doesn’t match up with the videos we’re all seeing.
They’re asking people not to believe what we can all see with our own eyes.
I’ve been in contact with DHS demanding more information.

ICE murdered a member of our community today. They are a threat to the lives and well-being of every person in Minnesota, and they must leave now. We’re going to continue to do everything we can in City Hall to protect our neighbors; please stay safe everyone.
