Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?

HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

Being a parent in Minnesota right now is getting an email from your principal about how someone was detained in the building complex your kid’s school is in.

More specifically, the community center that houses the local food shelf.

ICE needs to leave. Call your damn Senators.

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe.

Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately.

I think a whole lot of Minnesotans will just use this database as their holiday card list.

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

“Wait, Wisconsin didn’t get a Nobel prize? You don’t say.”

Yeah, we’d be absolutely insufferable.

Hahaha can you imagine how insufferable we’d be if the People of Minnesota won the Nobel peace prize

Caitlin G. DeAngelis @caitlindeangelis.bsky.social · 7d

Some thoughts:

1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.

3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.

4. He would be so mad.

Finally, can't ignore all our amazing punk rock. Adding Lifter Puller's "Nice Nice" here since I think it's sort of about a fictionalized Mpls and it mentions Franklin Ave.
