Minneapolis has real Boston 1775 vibes lately. No surprise that John Adams—a moderate farmer and lawyer, yet the principal agitator for independence—was radicalized against the English crown by its Eye of Sauron-like brutality against his city.
If you see what ICE is doing to my city and you’re still protecting it, you are the enemy and we will not forgive or forget you.

New, from me: Trump finalized his Schedule F policy, allowing him to remove job protections from career civil servants.
The new rule is dishonest and unmoored from reality in its effort to formalize the politicization of the federal government 🧵

On Feb. 5, ICE was “active in Coon Rapids, several sightings in Riverdale, 2 days ago at Camelot Square Apartments. The “interesting” element was that, “the day prior at Fridley Terrace in Fridley, I recorded those same agents in the same vehicles. They were a lot more aggressive in that situation.”

The Anoka County observer who provided us the video said, “Hearing from a federal agent actively out here detaining people, I thought it was very surprising to hear that essentially their plan is to take away as much of our voters as possible so our state can’t remain blue.”

He also conceded the Trump-era anti-immigrant program is more violent than the Obama-era equivalent. This is the first time we are aware any agent in the Twin Cities campaign has connected it with Minnesota's political alignment as a "blue" Democratic Party-leaning state.
