Alas, the chaser:
Image text: O’Hara noted that cases of “excessive” force that were “readily apparent” would merit officer intervention. A sergeant from O’Hara’s department later clarified that while Minneapolis Police Department officers may physically intervene in the case of unlawful force, they would stop short of arresting ICE agents.

Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.

The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

There’s no telling how many similar stories are not being told for fear of retaliation.

By now, everyone should realize Trump is not going after violent criminals or the worst of the worst—he is terrorizing everyone, including U.S. citizens, and their loved ones.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

Just to be clear: Minnesota will continue to be guided by science and medical expertise.

While Trump and RFK wage war on vaccines and decades of science, I took executive action to safeguard vaccine access in Minnesota and prioritize the health and safety of our children.

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

The West Coast Health Alliance has issued guidance continuing to recommend the hepatitis B vaccine for all newborns who weigh more than 4.5 pounds, hours after a CDC panel voted Friday to stop recommending hepatitis B vaccines for all newborns.
Washington, other West Coast states, go against CDC, recommend hepatitis B vaccine for all newborns
That goes against what the federal government has recommended for nearly 35 years and against the guidance of medical organizations such as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

This U.S. administration would've lost World War II, if they'd even bothered to fight it. More likely, they would have cut deals with all the dictators to steal everyone's natural resources.
