I am so sorry! Twin Cities maybe? But even that doesn't work since there are suburban towns also doing a great job: just watched an inspiring video by the husband of the mayor of Columbia Heights about how his community is fighting ICE.
Maybe I should just say Minnesota...

"When I landed in Minneapolis on Monday and saw the size, scope and lawlessness of the federal onslaught unfolding here, I understood that Good’s killing was emblematic of its true mission: to stage a spectacle of cruelty upon a city that stands in stark defiance of Trump’s dark vision of America."
I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

Let me give you a thought experiment:

Imagine not just a ban on qualified immunity for authority, but a reversal; a new legal framework, under which authority bears greater responsibility than civilians in matters involving force—as it should.

This guy (Sully Dawg) does a fantastic job at simply communicating complex topics.

Here he is comparing the spending priorities of Democrats vs Republicans and showing which parts of the spending are being contested with the government shutdown.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Mockler: I have spent all my formative years watching the President talk about the opposition party like they should not exist. His claim to fame in politics was saying that Obama was not born in America.

This is from an Ex-CIA Whistleblower who says Kamala Harris, in fact, won the 2024 election. I have no opinion. What do you think? thiswillhold.substack.com/p/ex-cia-whi...

If this Van Orden post pisses you off, consider finding a way to support Rebecca Cooke, who is already running against him and who almost beat him last time.

When 15 million Americans lose their health care and plunge into personal crisis, none of them are going to give a shit about a made-for-clicks twitter fight between two billionaires arguing about who gets the bigger share of the corruption spoils.

look, I may not agree with everything our president says, but I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison
