After working a night shift in the pediatric ICU, Teyana Gibson Brown was jolted awake when federal agents used a battering ram to break into her home and detain her husband without a judicial warrant.

Another example of ICE violating the rights of Minnesotans.

Thank you Sen @amyklobuchar.com for your strong opposition to the actions of this President who illegally started a war of choice without Congressional approval. Our military is at risk; our allies are at risk. There is no objective; another aimless military action. This MUST STOP!

Thank you Rep @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social standing strong & calling for immediate Congressional action. No immediate crisis or danger to US to support action; there is no stated objective. Trump started, at his choice, another war w/o stated mission & w/o legally required Congressional approval.

Get this; Oz thinks he gets to spend our Rainy Day fund??? WT? Meant of disasters; not attacks from federal government. His own CMS issued report saying MN Medicaid improper reporting rate is 3x lower than national average. So, why attack MN? Just retribution & those most vulnerable suffer.INSANE.

EXACTLY. Hegseth & Noem must be removed & anyone else in this chain. They are playing games with air safety & playing with a new system without use instructions or training. And, Duffy wants us to 'dress nice' on planes? Hey, Duffy, this is a grave danger. Get loud everyone.

Astounding that Trump and cronies have no issue someone out saying Iran is weeks away from a military nuke after having claimed they obliterated their capabilities. STOP this INSANE administration.

Hegseth & Noem must be removed. Completely incompetent & think they are actors some kind of reality TV show. This is second incident with a new system for which they have not established use boundaries or training. STOP them before a passenger plane is shot down. @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov

JUST IN: A federal judge in Oregon has barred ICE from conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause in the state, saying the agency's "dragnets" have flouted "clear and undisputed" law. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NO MORE ICE $; STOP ICE NOW. Intentionally omitted training on use of force-all legal parameters of job required by our constitution & sent out masked, armed with a quota to grab people; any people with whatever force they want including deadly force. GET LOUD everyone-make your GOP Senators listen.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

ICE intentionally release in freezing temperatures. Done same at MN Whipple detention facility. Late night push people out gate into deadly freezing temps w/o coats, gloves, hats-no phone call. Amazing volunteers sit outside Whipple 24/7 to care for those released or deaths would have been certain.

The Federal judges are holding the line; they are standing up for our constitution. We must STAY LOUD; we must STAY ENGAED. We have the power; only our pressure stops this administration from further attacking our judicial.

The Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to spend taxpayer funds, and no law allows the president to halt if he feels some US states aren’t being “good stewards” of the money.

In case there’s any confusion on this, the Impoundment Control Act forbids it.

Taxation without representation.

ICE, AGAIN. lying to get into facility & abduct young woman w/o warrant. Pretended looking for missing child; brought fake picture. Claimed it was ok to abduct woman because 'they let them in'. Lawless criminals. No more $; stop ICE. @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social

It is OUR MONEY. GIVE IT BACK! Tariffs=Consumer Tax. Too bad if it is hard; too bad if the grifter wants to keep our money. They knew it was illegal; they didn't care. Bessent claimed that planned for it and had a way. They thought they OWNED THE COURT, but they didn't.

LEFT: Trump’s DHS just lied again.
RIGHT: Wash post with video proof.

Another man dead. father of 2, nearly blind, dropped off in the cold outside a closed coffee shop. They lied that it was warm & open.

Without accountability it will happen again.

Thank you to the federal judges standing up for our constitution and holding the line! The pressure is immense, but they have had ENOUGH! Keep our voices loud everyone. The people have the power. The stronger we are, the less the Trump admin thinks they can torment these judges.

📉25% LOWER ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY! Wowzers—one of the largest long-term safety studies ever undertaken: “Among 28 mil adults, those who received an mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine were less likely to die in subsequent 4 years than unvaccinated, corresponding to a 25% lower risk of death from all causes.”

Tear gassing outside a pre-school this morning, stocking school bus stops, splitting family with young children with asylum protection apart, breaking apartment windows and then releasing the detained (no windows in MN in winter not livable). No de-escalatoion

‼️ Russia will not be able to capture Donbas before August 2027, — ISW

Giving Russia the rest of the Ukrainian Donbas would be a strategic mistake, wrote the American Institute for the Study of War, arguing that it would take the Russian army at least 18 months to achieve this by force.
