There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Ellison: "This was a family taking their kids from an athletic event and they ended up getting caught in the middle of the ICE behavior & protesters, & then, inexplicably, they shot tear gas too close to the car & that caused the infant to have some respiratory problems. CPR had to be administered."
