ICE kills a person and then “transports witnesses to the Whipple building”. I can’t imagine a less safe place to be right now.

This is literally torture. People are being tortured.

“the term "torture" means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as … intimidating or coercing him or a third person.

To my fellow Minnesotans who think that ICE deportations are about violent crime. It’s not. 63% of arrests are for people who have never been convicted. Also, “trusting the system” only works if the system is trustworthy.

Proposed insurance rate increases on MN ACA marketplace for 2026x, brought it to you by the Big Bad Bill. Say thank you, and make sure you’re wearing a suit when you do it.

Which is something that happens when you are the only country in the world to not ratify the rights of children treaty.

Ummmm… raising tuition, asking us to work more, and all the while…

This is a dark day in medicine, and a Supreme Court that is unwilling to protect marginalized groups. So much for “government staying out of the exam room.” What are the next treatments to be banned?

An honest question: is there a reason ICE agents look like a vigilante group?Can ICE not afford uniforms? And, officially, why masks? I’m assuming fear of future retribution,but most of the people they detain are not gangs members,and they should know if they are if that’s the reason for arrest.

This administration is literally sending children away to die. The children also happen to be US citizens. Stopping them is not enough. Voting them out is not enough. They must be held accountable.

Good energy at the Minneapolis town hall. Short on action items but it’s bringing people together.

Democratic town hall, good energy, but the power is in the people, not our leadership.

The NYT favorite plant?

It’s the hedge.

Will. Not threatens to.

This is a disgusting take. He didn’t forget it. He just wasn’t going to put up with the bullshit.

This is from a Politico article. Honest question for journalists: is part of your training to interrogate people statements and assumptions or just to report what they said? I’ve seen so many people say things like this without any attempts to substantiate or clarify the statement.
