@angiecraigmn.bsky.social was the ONLY Minnesota Democrat to vote for the Laken Riley Act. The only one to vote to praise ICE.
Even today, with ICE in our streets, she stands by her pro-Trump votes.

I completely reject President Trump’s threat to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota. The President’s dangerous threat is an escalation at a time when Minnesotans are asking him to stop the chaos caused by federal agents.

These neighborhood signal chats are absolutely crazy right now. You’ve got young activists in there with the most normie folks alive who all just absolutely fucking hate ICE so much. And they are all willing to put their bodies on the line for their communities.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

What an absolute tragedy that ward 7 picked Elizabeth Shaffer over @katiecashman.bsky.social who's out being an absolute hero. What a downgrade for the ward and city as a whole.
I feel this so hard. Y’all don’t even know the amount of long johns and wool socks and neck gators I am ready to wear to defend neighbors.
ICE hasn’t seen the HALF of what Minneapolis can do. 🚫🧊

I've really been wondering where all the bootlicking gun freaks are now that we could use some protection from a tyrannical, oppressive government. Have heard pretty much crickets from that crowd. Instead, the real pushback has been from everyday heros with whistles and signal chats.

They hate Minnesota because we are a people who believe that "we all do better when we all do better."
Minnesota is one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest states in the country *because* of our openness and generosity.
Our quality of life is a direct challenge to their zero-sum worldview.

There are virtually no law enforcement agencies in Minnesota that enjoy broad public support, because they've broadly done nothing to earn or deserve it. Just yesterday I encountered SPPD parked illegally blocking the exit for a fire station (and a bikeway). Same goons, different uniforms.

This week has sucked in so many ways, but as a small bright spot, I received my new @metrotransitmn.bsky.social adopt-a-stop Go-To card in the mail today and it is AMAZING!

Seen some people suggesting the new shooting video is AI because you can see a dinosaur in the background at one point. But, uh, there’s just a dinosaur on a car on that street. Here’s Google Street View.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
