ICE rams car in south Minneapolis while profiling Latino driver ICE agents rammed into a man’s car in south Minneapolis Monday afternoon while profiling the Latino driver.

Read this story and decide if this is the America you want to live in.

ICE saw a Latino man driving a car. Chased him down and rammed him. Just because he wasn’t white.

He was just a guy - an American citizen - driving to the auto shop.

It’s midnight, which means Trump’s government just ran out of money.

Our entire government is shut down because Republicans in power refuse to lower health care costs.

Los Angeles, CA -

LAPD moving a very large force towards protesters near the Roxie Theatre on 5th and Broadway. Can’t even get close to counting how many officers, dozens behind me.

Trump Relishes Troops in American Streets While Shunning Conflict Overseas

β€œHe has ordered more troops to Los Angeles and Washington than he currently has stationed in Syria and Iraq combined. He seems more willing at the moment to use the military against Americans than against Iranians.”

The story of today’s parade: Trump is a warmonger, but only against his own people.

Rep. Melissa Hortman, killed in targeted attack, was a champion for Minnesotan families Hortman worked closely with Gov. Tim Walz to enact policies that prioritized children and expanded protections for abortion and gender-affirming care

When Tim Walz became Kamala Harris's running mate, progressives highlighted policies passed. It could not have been possible without Melissa Hortman.

OK. I’ll admit it. I am obsessed with lamuertemaria (IG).

We all come here with a dreamβ€”just like Dr. King said, β€œI have a dream.”

No matter where we come from, we carry that same fire inside us.
A dream to live free, to be seen, to belong.

House passes rescission package to claw back $9.4 billion in funding for foreign aid, NPR, PBS The House is expected to vote Thursday on White House's rescission package to claw back funding for NPR, PBS, foreign aid.

All this chaos is being used to distract you from another bill passed by the House of Representatives. It cuts HIV assistance/research and PBS. It will be moving to the senate. They don't want you to notice this. www.cbsnews.com/news/house-v...

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way:

"If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."
