I can answer this one. The president of the United States is dangerously psychotic and no one in his political party will say it, nor will 95% of American media.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

β€œEverybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

I need to hear from the folks in the 60/70s and protesting Vietnam (and everything else)...did shit feel as corrupt, unjust, overwhelming, and impossible to overcome as they do now? Not inviting you to compare, more how you felt in the moment, not knowing what you know now

MN sheriff says ICE was too busy in Twin Cities to pick man accused of sex crime "Wholly inaccurate." The Cottonwood County Sheriff is firing back after ICE accused them of ignoring a detainer. The sheriff says they called ICE, but agents said they were too busy in the Twin Cities...

ICE is too busy harassing children to pick up the criminals our sheriffs are asking them to take.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.
