Minneapolis estimates 76,200 residents are now experiencing food insecurity because of the federal immigration operation.

The city also estimates a negative economic impact of at least $203 million.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?

Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

Look what my sister just made me. So thankful that Liam has been released for now, but it may still just be temporary and many more people are still being taken every day. Keep standing up! #iceoutmn

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

While Gregory Bovino and the two CBP officers who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been pulled out of Minnesota, that is not justice. All three were immediately sent back out on the street in another American city to terrorize, and possibly even murder, more Americans.

Congress needs to act!

40 years after Challenger: Lingering guilt and lessons learned Forty years after the Challenger disaster, NPR explores the engineers' last-minute efforts to stop the launch, their decades of guilt and the vital lessons that remain critical for NASA today.

Can't believe this was 40 years ago today.

Where were you when the Challenger blew up?

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting β€œarrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.

Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

PSA: it’s going to be warm enough to chop ice (like actual literal ice) for another hour or two before the temperatures go below freezing and stay there. If you still have ice on your sidewalks or walkways, do your neighborhood pedestrians a solid and clear the way while you still can!

If 3,000 federal agents land in Minnesota, their footprint will be bigger than the 10 largest metro police departments combined.
