This is not just a Twin Cities issue. This is a statewide (really countrywide) issue.
Look at these absentee rates! Almost a third of students were absent recently.

ICE is quietly reshaping daily life in greater MN, too.
In Willmar, more than 1,200 of 4,000 students were absent recently -- both white and BIPOC, teacher Tammy Knapper says. ICE detained a 19-year-old student for five days. Trauma takes the place of learning. Something must change. #edmnvotes

They're already defying current law, how do you "reform" lawlessness?
The Minnesota Star Tribune has identified 17 instances of federal officials violating judicial orders related to people detained in Minnesota.

The federal government cites a glut in cases and low staffing as reasons for violating court orders.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Something that may not be registering outside Minnesota is this: everything—EVERYTHING— the administration says about what’s happening here is a lie.
Big or small, it doesn’t matter. They tell the world untruths, and we in Minnesota suffer the consequences.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

ICE shot some more people today, this time here in Portland, Oregon. "Officers have determined the two people were injured in the shooting involving federal agents." I assume the feds fled the scene again? www.portland.gov/police/news/...
