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.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

The #Black #Panthers are back. In 2026, a group operating as the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense has re-emerged, in defense of Black and marginalized communities.
Not the same organization that operated from 66-82, its mission echoes the same demand: dignity, justice, and power to the people.✊💪

ICE believe they're above the law. A Fed judge just ordered that they cannot deploy chemical agents at peaceful protesters. Again.
Even if all you do is go to a hardware store & get a very good dust mask & goggles, it will help. Also, it'll make you unidentifiable. Like them

Re: midterm elections
Some may not understand, but voters have the right to vote for the candidate of their choice.
I may not agree with their choice but I respect their right to choose.
Would encourage everyone to contact their Congressman and Senators directly to voice his/her concerns.

Cowardly ICE thugs attack people exercising their 1st amendment rights. Waiting for them to attack people exercising their 2nd amendment rights.
Where is that mythical “good guy with a gun”? There’s always a coward with a gun ready to kill. Never a hero with a gun ready to protect.

Politicians & some media outlets have latched onto a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented, are causing spikes in crime.
Research does not support the view. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to native-born Americans.

Despite the propaganda from the right, there have not been elections over the past four decades where both candidates were "all the same". That is GOP misdirection to minimize voting.

Still hard to believe that there are videos and witnesses to someone shooting a woman in the face three times. Yet the shooter has not been arrested even though the police know who and where he is.

Call it what it is. Door to door concentration camp round ups. You know when the full record comes to light there *will* be horrifying degrees of intentional genocide of non-whites in ICE facilities due if nothing else to over crowding. It is happening.
