I'd love for the news media to learn the difference between "lashing out" and "fighting off the attack"
Video circulating online alleges an ICE agent sprayed a 15-year-old girl in the face with pepper spray in Minnesota. The girl appears to panic and lash out before her mother intervenes, yet agents still threaten arrest. Her mother then guides her to the car to go to the ER.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

The point of Trump pardoning fraudsters while complaining about fraud in blue states is to provoke outrage and demonstrate that loyalty is rewarded and that there is nothing people can do to stop it.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

This is what the rule of law looks like. Peaceful protest is protected. Retaliation by federal agents is not. A judge just put that in writing.

In Trump's America, if you are a fraudster, pedophile, insurrectionist, drug trafficker, or neo-nazi, you get a pardon.
But if you're an elected leader who speaks out against the Trump Administration, you get investigated.

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.
President Trump will issue a plan next week for letting Americans tap their 401(k)s for a down payment on a home, a senior White House official said Friday.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
