The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

Sure seems like ICE is gping into a violence spiral in MN. They act out, people monitor and protest, they get madder and more agitated, people monitor and protest more.

They‘re going to kill more people, administration’s going to congratulate and encourage more, they’re gonna kill MORE people.

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community.

They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

800 people at Whittier International Elementary right now to coordinate ICE resistance. EIGHT HUNDRED, at one little school.

Recall there are only 2,000 ICE agents in the entire metro. Puny!

This is insanity. I went to my shrink yesterday, telling her I haven’t been sleeping and I can’t take the stress of what’s happening to human beings in our country. So naturally, I get up to this. How are we going to survive 3 more years of this corrupt GOP???
“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.”

Respectfully, WTF does this mean? I just posted, for FREE, a 2500 word article on Greenland and Trump. I'd join the Danish Navy if I were younger, sure, but this is all I can give you.

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well.
I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III.

Seizure ... by whom? If we're asserting that the money is safer in Qatar than the US, that suggests that it is being protected because Qatar has something the US lacks — presumably a lack of accountability to American courts and Congress. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

In the car just now I heard a tape of Trump speaking from 2016 (the "shoot somebody on 5th Avenue" riff) and I thought it was a different person -- his words came out about 2X faster and much more coherent (if just as hateful)
Trump face is drooping and he's fighting wokeness again today

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.
