Conversation heard as one rapist talks to another rapist
Trump: "Frankly, if these radical left lunatic Democrats would come and say, 'Please, help us, please,' we'd stop crimes all over the place. Sometimes we have to force ourselves upon them because they're so bad."

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

The north doesn’t forget.
“They left us with deep damage, generational trauma, economic ruin. They left us with many unanswered questions,” Gov. Walz said. “Where are our children? Where & what is the process of investigations into those responsible for the deaths of Renée & Alex?”

Homan says Minnesota should be grateful?!
Tom Homan: Minnesota should say "thank you" for DHS operation
“They were a sanctuary state. Their county jails weren’t working with us across the state,” Homan said. “We fixed it.”

They are literally poisoning us, not to mention metaphorically.
When Trump stood on stages across the country, he said he would protect American families. He said he would drain the swamp. He said he would put ordinary people first.

Now he’s declaring glyphosate defense a federal priority.

Prisons aren’t being built for just immigrants

Those already in use have sections for American citizens

ICE is grabbing Americans and accusing them of acts of violence as the protest peacefully… no warrants, no documentation… just an “agent’s word” … no due process

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.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

When someone tells you who they are believe them the first time.
"Is this what you want conservatism and the Republican party to be?" Apparently the answer was yes, this is what Republicans and conservatives wanted their movement to be.

The Trump Grift - bad for veterans, bad for workers, bad for women, bad for the environment. Great for billionaires.
Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

Trump has painted a target on the backs of Somali Americans in Minneapolis 👇🏽

@saletan.bsky.social : “Trump’s Attack on Somali Americans Is Vile Fascism. He’s testing our country’s tolerance for ethnic persecution. And we’re failing the test.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-atta...

Stand with our fellow Minnesotans and against the forces of fascism flailing at our gates.
Somali Minnesotans are Minnesotans.

They’re our neighbors, friends, classmates, business owners, teachers, & more. They are part of the fabric of MN.

Trump’s ICE raids in Mpls are unconscionable, tearing families apart, & leaving them in dangerous situations. This is not leadership. It’s cruelty.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told Somali residents to call 911 if ICE shows up wearing masks to arrest undocumented immigrants — and said police will “immediately respond” and “intervene.”
