Also, my father’s final words to me were to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’s sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration.

In my dad’s words, I encourage you all to continue to “fight the good fight.”

"In Minnesota we don’t need to be nice / We can get salty on the streets to de-ice / Get loud and observe, be cautious, alert / We melt ice with the salt of the earth..."

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Today the Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling on Governor Walz to enact an eviction moratorium to keep Minneapolis families in their homes to protect them from ICE.

Canada needs to take see the invasion of Venezuela for what it is - a deliberate attack on the international rules based order. We have a bandit nation on our border and we need to be ready for whatever comes next.

Venezuela - The Lesson for Canada
Make no mistake, the attack on Venezuela by the Trump regime is not about removing a rogue leader; it is a deliberate attack on international law.
