An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

I saw what a serious NDS provides to the force—not inspiration or affirmation, but clarity. National strategy documents matter because real actions flow from them....That is why the 2026 NDS is so concerning."

ICE is a threat to public safety.

Killing U.S. citizens. Kidnapping Americans. Ignoring the Constitution.

That’s not law enforcement — that’s weaponization and abuse of power.

And the cruelty starts at the top.

In Minnesota, he was humbled not by great powers, but by average citizens armed with cellphones.

And those phones turned out to be Trump’s kryptonite.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father.

In his order, Judge Fred Biery told the federal government that it could not move the boy or his father out of his court's jurisdiction while they challenged their detention.

DHS paramilitary practices in Minneapolis raise massive legal flags. If you care about civil liberties, now’s the time to demand real oversight——contact your reps, demand a congressional inquiry, and support watchdog orgs pressing for transparency.

So right, @gregsargent.bsky.social. “Tone” is not action. Only action is action.
I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

This is what unchecked federal power looks like: ICE killed two Americans in Minneapolis while claiming to target criminals. Congress must investigate and block DHS funding. Call your representatives: 202-224-3121
