Today at Lake MakaSka, #Minneapolis. The inbound flight approach to MSP Airport includes the southern end of the lake. So flights coming in at dusk would have a clear view.

Joined Julian Ocampo at his small business, closed because of ICE Occupation. The harm to people, communities, and our economy spreads like a stain, the result of the reckless, lawless federal action.
Congress should strengthen legal immigration. Instead, they are destroying jobs and lives.

I support cleaning house at DHS.
Greg Bovino should be fired.
Kristi Noem should be fired.
Stephen Miller should be fired.
But none of those things alone will fix ICE – a new figure will take their place, and nothing will change unless Congress exerts some muscle here.

Yo, neighbors, has there been anything written about our Minnesotans better than today’s piece by @adamserwer.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com ?
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Brad Tabke won the very closest Minnesota House election in 2024, 14 votes.
Because of Brad’s hard work, the legislature is tied.
If you can spare $25 or $100, this is a great legislator from the purplest place in MN.

This rural fellow grew up with guns in his life and is living as a carpenter/handy man in Minneapolis.
He has a message for his family and friends who argue that the Second Amendment is the one that guarantees all the others.

Ellison: "We have the right as a state, as a co-sovereign, to do our own business with our own tax money. What the federal govt has said is, 'if you don't do it our way, we're gonna saturate your state with 4,000 ICE agents until you cry uncle and obey us.' That's unconstitutional and illegal."

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

“Big-ass win” for Minnesota, indeed.
One of the first lessons I learned in organizing is that you celebrate victories as they come, even if they’re incomplete. Border Patrol being pulled off our streets is a massive victory for and by the people of Minnesota. It doesn’t make our work less urgent or needed, but it’s a big-ass win.

If there was any Republican Senator with the necessary courage to help bring down ICE, shouldn’t it be the 92 year old senator from the great state of Iowa? What’s Trump gonna do to Grassley?
From Iowa? call!
From Iowa? call!
I personally will be calling Senator Ernst (202-224-3254) and Senator Grassley (202-224-3744) every day until they get ICE out of Minnesota and under control.
I hope you can call, too.
