Here's @mollycoleman.bsky.social from the streets of St. Paul, on the legal system that failed to prevent Trump's ICE occupation, and the people who stepped up to protect each other instead.
"My neighbors have shown that the people of this country care about democracy enough to fight for it."
"My neighbors have shown that the people of this country care about democracy enough to fight for it."
“The People of Minnesota Are Stronger Than the Federal Government That Seeks to Break Us”
The legal system empowered Trump’s ICE rampage. It is people who have the power to stop it.

Yesterday, 50,000 Minnesotans peacefully protested to stop the terror being inflicted on our community. Today, ICE shot and likely killed another constitutional observer on the street. I can’t say this clearly enough: Congress has to stop this. The government is killing us. Congress has to act.

My favorite thing about Amy Klobuchar is the “rumor” about her being a Supreme Court Justice candidate
A journalist researched it and found out the original and continuing sources for the rumor were just from her
She worked it for over 10 years just to make it a talking point
Impressive and sad!

One of the taco trucks who serves on our patio (not the tues/fri, but more irregularly) reached out. The owner & his family have been unable to work for over a month and are struggling. We have confirmed this venmo. If you want to “buy lunch” from them, please do.

Chauntyll Allen’s arrest, along with Nekima Levy Armstrong’s, is a dangerous escalation in the federal assault on MN. It’s an attack on our Constitution and an attack on Black women leading in the Twin Cities. Our community & local government will continue to fight against this in every way we can.
Well the "so far" turned out to be prescient. Sources tell me that St. Paul School Board member Chauntyl Allen has also been arrested in connection with the church protest, making her the first elected official to be arrested in connection with the ongoing ICE activity.
Levy Armstrong is the highest profile political figure in Minneapolis to be arrested in connection with the ongoing ICE activity - so far. (2/2)
