At journalist was injured badly enough to need an ambulance.

A protester was body slammed to the ground and also needed an ambulance.

Dozens of people were tear gassed and pepper sprayed.

Neighbors on the block were hit by rubber bullets.

All today at one raid on the East Side of St Paul

Hundreds of children have already been placed in federal immigration shelters this year, raising serious concerns over the treatment and oversight of minors. Once detained, the government imposes stricter criteria on their release to relatives or sponsors. #ICE #NoKings truthout.org/articles/ice...
ICE Has Already Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters in 2025
Once the children are there, the government is making it harder for relatives or other sponsors to get them back.

Ah, I see someone has exhumed the desiccated revenant named Carville, and used a hand bellows to force air into its lungs, so as to allow it to wheeze out miasmic utterances before being lowered once more into its crypt

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The big increase in the ICE budget was a gift to the for-profit private detention industry that helped put Trump and Republicans into office.

Pam Bondi is a former lobbyist.

90% of those detained are detained in private facilities.

Horrific corruption.
