So the next time you read a hit piece on a Democrat who called them out or see some self-righteous bullshit about how they seek the truth without fear or favor, pull out this email and ask: What did the NY Times know and when did they know it? You will get nothing but crickets from them in response.

Not only was the Times obsessed with Hillary Clinton's emails while ignoring emails about Donald Trump sent to its own reporter, but since then it has constantly attacked anyone who dared look into questions of Trump's character. All with sanctimony.

Now we know it was all a big lie.

The acknowledgement came during a hearing in which a federal judge heard the former FBI director’s arguments that he is the target of a vindictive prosecution.

"Women at Harvard deserve educators who respect them."
"By any consistent standard, if Summers is unfit to work for each of these institutions [from which he resigned], he is equally unfit to teach at our school. Harvard should not be the only institution in America where Summers remains above reproach."

Summers should choose the most straightforward path and resign. Should he refuse to, though, the University must cut ties with its former president to the greatest extent possible.

St. Paul, MN: ICE violently assaulted peaceful protestors with pepper spray. Some started to gasp and cough hard because of the chemicals.
This is a blatant violation of the freedom to protest but we must not forget about the abductees that were cruelly detained. Justice for all!

Seeing ICE using chemical spray weapons on protesters in St Paul was reminiscent of Putin's thugs in Russia. This is not only unwarranted but inhuman and should be referred to UN. ICE are out of control.

We were hit with pepper spray and pepper balls in an escalation by federal agents in St Paul yesterday.

@governorwalz.mn.gov @keithellison.bsky.social are you going to do anything to protect Minnesotans from them?
Several Chicago newsrooms spent two months collecting and analyzing evidence of ICE & Border Patrol's use of tear gas and pepper spray in Chicago.

They found that agents deployed chemical agents nearly 50 times. Most uses occurred after a judge ordered federal agents to restrict their use.

There’s a fine line between legal witness to ice activity and being a protester.

A friend of mine is the latter, and showed up in St. Paul yesterday. Walking away from the scene, she was deliberately rammed, run over by a federal agent in a car.

She’s sore but ok.

How are we going to fight this

Today’s federal enforcement action in St. Paul was disgusting. Abolish ICE.

It’s always important to question the validity of info you receive when you are told it’s not immigration enforcement/ICE. I’m thankful we had people on the ground updating us so we can let our loved ones know the truth. 1/

If you were in St Paul today, thank you.

We need more observers. There’s a thin line between protesting and observing. You don’t have to be on the front line!

If you see staging activity, call a response hotline! Describe what you see.

Resources and upcoming trainings here.
Hey twin cities friends!

There’s a new website for the Mn Rapid Response network, now called Monarca.

It has the hotline to call if you see 🧊 activity as well as Know Your Rights information and lists upcoming community trainings.

A great resource. Please share widely!
