US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Pregnancy, LIKE COVID, makes your blood clot more and is hard on respiration. You do NOT want Covid while pregnant. Getting the shot while pregnant is much safer than getting Covid and also protects your baby, especially if you breastfeed.

Why are these men trying to harm women and babies?
Federal vaccine advisers are setting their sights on the next targets: the mRNA Covid shots, and vaccines offered to pregnant women. One panelist, Robert Malone, says he is “trying to force FDA to come clean” on data showing harms of COVID shots

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

“Streets of Minneapolis” is Springsteen’s way of reading the events of January 2026 in Minneapolis into the historical record. Hearing him perform the song here, onstage, alone, now, drove that point home." #StandWithMinnesota

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Things we could do in MN with the $18 million a week it costs taxpayers to fund Operation Metro Surge:

- Provide Medicaid coverage for 5,000 Minnesota children
- Fund a full week of SNAP benefits for every eligible Minnesotan
- Cover the annual salaries of 225 school mental health professionals

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Prince, in 2007, before the greatest half time show in Super Bowl history, when told there was rain in the forecast:

"Can you make it rain harder?"

Minnesotans, today, preparing to march to protect our neighbors when told it's -21 degrees.

"Can you make it colder?"

Hey Tom you shameless soulless piece of shit, come to the Cities and find me ONE non-Minnesotan, I double dog dare you. Jesus will look you in the eye when you die and say "I never knew you."
Emmer: "The people you're seeing in these videos, the vast majority of them I do not believe are from Minnesota. These are organized chaos agents, paid agitators. The vast majority of Minnesotans that are talking to me appreciate that law enforcement has arrived, and they are happy they're there."

Met a neighbor yesterday who is recruiting midwives to assist childbirth for Twin Cities families who fear harassment or arrest if they go to the hospital. I didn't imagine I could get more angry than I already was.

By saying Minnesota officials must “obey the law and stop professional agitators and insurrectionists,” Trump is implicitly claiming that peaceful protests or protests he dislikes are illegal, and state officials are violating the law by not forcibly stopping them. #holdfast

Check in on your MN friends. Ask how they're doing. If they say:

"Pretty good, you?" They're probably ok.

"Just fine, howryou?" They're struggling, exhausted, hanging on but close to the edge.

"Oh, doin ok" Send help. The situation is desperate.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
