Imagine being this disrespectful.

The lawless war criminal doesn’t even have the decency to properly honor the men and women whose deaths he caused with his illegal war.

Trump fired Kristi Noem.

It wasn't because her immigration agents murdered American citizens. Or the repeated violations of due process. Or even her mismanagement of FEMA.

No, Noem was fired because she upstaged Trump. He wants to be on Mt. Rushmore, after all.

This is the mind of our president.

Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?

We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

Friends from outside Minnesota have asked me if there are celebrations in the street over Noem being fired. To anyone not in MN: no. people are still buying neighbors groceries and collecting for their rent and patrolling. If ice is abolished or trump dies, then mpls will celebrate

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

Oh btw ICE activity today at Whipple was fucking nuts. Large convoys of masked agents leaving every so often with a constant stream of single ICE vehicles in between.

This 'drawdown' was clearly just a brief hiatus to pacify liberals and get bourgeois media/politicians to completely lose interest.

"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État During the campaign, it was kind of hard to picture the specifics of how Trump might pull such a thing off. Alas, it’s getting less hypothetical by the week.

It’s never just about trans people. It’s always a way to test the limits of power and decency. If they can do it trans people, immigrants (fill in the blanks), they can do it you and to me. All power to the people.

Economic Response Fund Grant Guidelines Small businesses in Minnesota that have experienced operational disruptions in recent weeks may now apply for emergency financial support through the Economic Response Fund.

I'm going to promote the heck out of this:

The Minneapolis Foundation has $4 million in grants available to small businesses for everything from rent and payroll costs to legal help and temporary relocation.

More details and the application here: www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/comm...

15.02.2026 20:10 πŸ‘ 435 πŸ” 323 πŸ’¬ 3 πŸ“Œ 8

This is open to businesses statewide, not just Minneapolis!

Share with small business owners that have been affected by the surge.

($4 million is a drop in the bucket for a $2billion foundation but that’s a fight for another day. Empty the coffers RT!)
