Last thing before I head to Saint Paul. ICE has been all over us this morning. Bus stops, apt buildings, following kids.

This is the last time I saw Melissa. We toured the new SOB the Thursday before she and Mark were murdered.
She was so excited for the future and ready to fucking go.

Baked a cake with booze to remember our friends. Be kind to one another. 💔

💚 Visit a park and bike trail.
💚 Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal.
💚 Tell a dad joke and laugh.
💚 Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.

ICE kidnapped a neighbor in Phillips today along with others in MN. They are still the same rogue, abhorrent, & illegitimate organization meant to terrorize & separate families.
As I said yesterday, I am still asking the community to remain cautious & vigilant. We still need help.

So proud of Minnesota! Because of all the work you’ve done and the support across the country, the US Senate has ended - for now - funding for ICE!!
We need to keep it up to ensure they stop hurting us and actually leave our communities. Not one more penny for ICE!!

If anyone was wondering, the ~23% reduction in ICE agents in Minnesota apparently doesn't include the ones down the street that are lurking, now as I type this, as vulnerable folks are getting their kids to the school bus this morning.
We cannot rest until ICE is gone, entirely.

More than 250 from my district showed tf up tonight to talk about the future of Shakopee, the amazing State we love, and to get ICE OUT!
To put this in context, most I can remember from an off-year caucus was probably 30 or 40 people. This was more than ANY precinct caucus since Obama ‘08.
