Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

January 23: I was at a rally in Northfield, MN where over 100 people showed up in the freezing cold (-10Β° F) to tell ICE to get out of our state. It was also amazing to see pics from friends who went to Minneapolis. Love my state! #iceout #abolishice #Minnesota #Northfield #Indivisible #Minneapolis

What a night in Minnesota’s CD2. A packed room at Carlton college turned out to hear Kaela Berg, Matt Klein, and Matt Little share their visions and answer tough questions from the community.

If you missed the debate you can catch it here:

Man detained in Minneapolis dies in ICE custody in Texas A man arrested by immigration officials in Minneapolis died in federal detention in Texas.

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place.

Know your rights, Minnesota.

Knowing our rights is the first step in asserting them for yourself and your community.

When we know our rights, we can defend them.

I’ve started using the term β€œethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

I'm happy and blessed to have been born and raised in Minnesota. This is not a hellhole as the dippy in office has claimed. Minnesota has a wonderfully diverse population - which is one of the many reasons to love it here. #Minnesota #StrongerTogether

Initial estimate for No Kings Twin Cities at 100,000! So many Minnesotans SHOWED UP to protect our communities, our country and our democracy that the 1+ mile march route looped back and found thousands hadn’t even left the starting point! πŸ‘βŒπŸ‘‘
