There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

I don't know that strokes can effect ideology, but paranoia––and, obviously. cognitive function––are definitely factors in the mix.
#Fetterman may or may not be gorked, but he has to go very soon. He is a huge liability. To the extent that the DNC is protecting him...let's put that to the test.

The fact his constituents aren’t protesting outside his office everyday demanding to see his brain scans and a report from a neurosurgeon is baffling to me. And I am not mocking his condition, I truly believe his stroke changed him and his brain chemistry. And they are hiding that information.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.
