Minnesota is more than what you see on TV.
We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors.
I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do.

Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

Pew Research Institute (2023):

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

So, the pentagon is reading troops. Where are they going to be sent? Minnesota? If Minnesota, will they defend their fellow citizens? Will they honor their oath to the constitution?

I've heard others say it and I'm really feeling it too. We should definitely embrace the American flag as part of the resistance to fascism and the authoritarian government. It must stand as a symbol of decency and democracy, not what the GOP is trying to rebrand it as.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

To the "civility" people, saying the word "fuck" is violence, but the cops shooting tear gas is "peace keeping", ripping a parent from their children is "doing their job". They want to control the definition of violence and their monopoly on the use of it.

Nothing is going to stop the people of Minnesota and America from defeating this criminal President, his administration, and all the traitors who enabled it. Not ICE terrorism. Not the insurrection act. Not martial law. Not a second civil war. Nothing. No matter what happens, they are going to lose.
