We won’t ever forget Melissa, Mark, and Gilbert Hortman.
Now, we honor Melissa’s legacy by building the Minnesota she believed in and fought so hard for.

Statement on Donald Trump's Racist Post About the Obamas "Invoking one of the most racist offensive tropes is more evidence that Donald Trump is unfit for public office in our diverse nation. Racist ‘jokes’ lead to racist policy, like deploying federal agents with a protocol based on race to harass, arrest and deny rights to Minnesotans of color. We know Trump is incapable of apologizing or growing as a person. Other Republicans have the opportunity to show that they have a moral red line, that their loyalty to the people of this country is deeper than their loyalty to Trump. Every American with integrity and humanity should be ashamed of this president and denounce this immediately.” Minnesota House and Senate POCI Caucus
Donald Trump is not fit for public office.

This is what hope looks like.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
STATEMENT FROM THE PARENTS OF ALEX PRETTI, MICHAEL AND SUSAN PRETTI "We are heartbroken but also very angry. "Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. "I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. "Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry
We are there. We demand justice.
STATEMENT ON ICE SHOOTING "ICE is a brutal invading force that acts without accountability or the most basic respect for human dignity or life. Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans peacefully called for ICE to leave Minnesota. Today, another of us was killed in broad daylight. ICE needs to get out of our state before they do this again, and these agents of violence need to be brought to justice." MAJORITY LEADER ERIN MURPHY
ICE needs to get out of our state and these agents of violence brought to justice.
Today, a new video features 36 lawmakers from 11 states standing with Minnesota and calling for accountability.
State Futures is proud to help bring this coordinated effort to life, as state policymakers come together to defend democratic values.
If you’re more outraged by people protesting the terrorism and inhumanity being waged on our communities than you are the actual terrorism and inhumanity, you are on the wrong side of this and should take a hard look at your priorities
If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
So many of you are asking how you can help. Here is a PDF of organizations that are helping with legal aid and advocacy in the Rochester, MN area and links to make donations.

This is chilling and must be heard to believe. And the fact that this is where we are says everything.
LAWMAKERS RESPOND TO ICE ACTIVITY IN MINNESOTA HOSPITALS "We echo the calls of health care and community leaders urging Minnesota hospitals to adopt clear and proactive policies, protocols, and training to safeguard care, security, and privacy. And to ICE: leave our state immediately. You are not welcome here, you are not wanted anywhere, you are not making anyone safer or healthier, and your presence causes harm." MN HOUSE AND SENATE DFL MEMBERS
Senate and House DFL lawmakers agree: Any ICE presence in health care settings endangers everyone.
We urge Minnesota hospitals to ensure every patient has can remain safe in their care. ICE needs to leave.
@mnhousedfl.bsky.social
My colleagues and I responded to the egregious actions by ICE officers in hospitals. They’re bringing harm & danger to our communities & should leave immediately.
I think we are getting close to the point at which the athletes on Minnesota professional sports teams should start refusing to take the field/court/ice
Something has to be done to underscore the national emergency we are in, because I still do not think corporate media gets it
WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane
FWIW, it's been sunny and in the low 40's for DAYS in Minnesota. Not only has it not snowed in awhile, a lot of our snow is melted (see: 40's and sunny). So call me skeptical about anything related to shovels. Or anything DHS says -- they are proven, documented liars.
Watch my address on the ongoing federal presence in Minnesota:
youtu.be/fGTsYXBWQgU
"Two to three thousand armed agents of the federal government have been deployed to Minnesota.
Armed, masked, undertrained ICE agents are going door to door, ordering people to point out where their neighbors of color live."
