Ryan: The fact that he couldn’t even get the name of the country right that he was saying he wanted to invade… his cognitive decline is well documented but that can’t be at the expense of my constituents and the people in uniform.

You know what I’m doing?
I’m sending news articles to the MAGA people in my family who are burying their head in the sand.
They voted for this. And they can’t say they didn’t know. I am making sure they know.

I do not have one woman in my friend group who is sleeping through the night anymore.
I get up and wander from room to room. I don’t know what to do with my rage other than to show up every day, but it continues into the night.

DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.
📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.
DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
