The use of the word "loser" at the "highest" levels of this government tells you all you need to know: the values are upside down. If shouting and lying your way to the "top" is winning, be a "loser." Be decent, make art, be the person who loves the truthful, struggling soul.

President Trump's lawyers have told a court he shouldn't have to respond to lawsuits because it would distract him from running the government.
But he's found time to bring lawsuits of his own, against the New York Times and even against his own administration.

"It’s not hard to see why ICE has expanded its reach beyond the Twin Cities. The qualities that have hindered ICE’s operation in Minneapolis and St. Paul — density and walkability; a large, almost exclusively left-of-center population — are absent here."

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

Can confirm the southern suburbs are still SWARMING with ICE and they are still doing door knocking and abducting people from cars this morning. At least one abandoned car on the 101 bridge and a raid on an apartment complex in downtown Shakopee. It’s not even noon. Drawdown my fat ass.

Trump’s immigration surges in Minneapolis and across the country are a localized economic heart attack not unlike the one that hit the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic. He and the rest of the Republicans are job-killers who will ruin the economy for the sake of deportations.

A few ways we will know ICE is actually gone:
• Commuters no longer report regular verified ICE sightings
• Abduction reports dry up
• Hotel and car rentals end
• Non-ICE federal employees are brought back to the Whipple

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.
In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

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.

Today they announce that ICE will officially be leaving MN and the senate vote on DHS funding is tomorrow. Probably unrelated, right?
