It is after 8 p.m. in Minneapolis.

Rough day.

Remember to do the things you have to do: eat, drink water, take meds, rest.

Breathe. Take a break & listen to a favorite song or watch some cat videos or something. If you've got people or pets you can hug, do that.

Hang in there the best you can. ❤️

It's a fascist power grab. And Congress has to put a stop to it.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Mayor Jacob Frey & Chief Brian O’Hara—press briefing on the 37 yr old Minneapolis man shot & killed by ICE this morning.

Mayor Frey—I just saw a video of more than six masked agents pummeling one of our constituents & shooting him to death.

How many more residents or Americans need to die?

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

He was a nurse who took care of veterans. ICE murdered a nurse who cares for veterans.

Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are.
And MAGA knows it.
