I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?

Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?

They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.

They lie like they breathe.

People want to have their basic needs met.

They want to be paid a living wage.

They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives.

They do not want Venezuela.

They do not want Greenland.

They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

Every representative who voted yes voted for more brutalization of our neighbors, more kidnapping of our children, more trampling of our rights, and more murder from this government.

Minnesota’s coalition is demanding:

1: ICE must leave Minnesota now.
2: Renee Good’s killer, Jonathan Ross, must be held legally accountable.
3: No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming budget.

“These are moral common sense for a state that values truth, freedom, and life.”

Reminder: slavery hasn’t been abolished in the United States.

The 13th amendment says slavery is legal as a punishment for a crime.

Black Americans have been living under mass incarceration for decades, what we are seeing is an acceleration of this system.

A federal judge has prohibited federal immigration agents in Minnesota from arresting, detaining, retaliating against or using force and chemical irritants against peaceful protesters and observers.
Federal judge bars ICE agents from ‘retaliating’ against protesters in Minnesota
The injunction filed Jan. 16 follows a lawsuit brought by six Minnesota residents during the early days of Operation Metro Surge last month.

Democrats need to do more than post on social media and curse in press conferences about ICE terrorizing communities.

Stop funding President Trump’s personal agents.

Arrest ICE agents that are breaking laws.

The moderate wing of the Democratic Party is failing the people.
