Drumpf is killing people but he won’t KILL our high bills 🤣
Any effort to take Greenland by force or coercion is as ridiculous as it is dangerous.

It would threaten our NATO alliance and do nothing to help Americans here at home afford health insurance, groceries or child care.

Trump ran on lowering costs. It’s time he acted like it.

I know it’s easy to say this from the safety of my apartment in NYC but Minneapolis needs to erupt today

Gavin Newsom and Josh Shapiro are going to run in 2028 on establishing a commission to make recommendations to Congress about how to reform ICE
Any Democrat still afraid to say "Abolish ICE" should resign and be replaced with someone who gets it.

Genuinely what will it take to get people out in the streets beyond a planned protest at this point?

Are we really that pathetic of a populace that we just sit here tolerating this shit and waiting around for someone else to save us?
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

Donald Trump’s ICE is laser focused on killing unarmed protesters.

Why won’t he KILL high grocery prices instead?

Don’t think anything sums up today’s Democratic Party better than posting this garbage consultant slop at the same time that one of your constituents just got murdered by an ICE agent
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.

Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

Arrest the ICE agent who killed one of your constituents or don’t complain when people start taking matters into their own hands
My public safety team is working to gather information on an ICE related shooting this morning.

We will share information as we learn more. In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm.

MPR playing an eye witness account right now of ICE shooting directly through the windshield at her face and not giving her medical care for 10 minutes.
MPR News is live right now bringing you updates on this. mprnews.org/listen
ICE reportedly shot someone at Portland and 33/34. Mspt saying bullets, could be less lethal 20+ agents on site, MPD and ambulances responding. Helicopters overhead

Democrats and elites aren’t going to save us — it’s fundamentally up to us to save ourselves — but holy fuck can we have just ONE goddamn person in power who has any courage??

This country is just filled to the brim with the biggest cowards in human history.
January 7, 2026 at 5:12 PM
If the ICE agent who did this isn’t arrested by the end of the day then the country has already failed and the MPD and Minnesota Democrats are complicit
DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

We know Republicans are evil and will keep doing evil things until stopped.

But there’s nothing more demoralizing than watching the world fall apart and the country descend into fascism while Democratic “leaders” act like everything is business as usual.

It makes you feel like you’re going insane.

We staged a revolution against the British over far, far less tyranny
Growing crowd here at 34th and Portland in south Minneapolis, where witnesses tell me an ICE agent shot an observer in her car. Witnesses said she was not responsive and was taken away. Bovino is on scene along with dozens of federal agents.

The federal government is sending 2,000 agents to occupy Minneapolis while threatening to attack a NATO ally and Democratic output is nothing but AI-like, consultant slop

The MPD chief has talked a big game about defending Minneapolis and peaceful protesters and if he’s not another lying and complicit fascist he will arrest the ICE agent responsible today
Live updates: The city of Minneapolis has confirmed in a social media post that a shooting involving federal law enforcement has occurred.

"We are aware of a shooting involving federal law enforcement near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. Please avoid this area."

For weeks ICE has stepped up enforcement in the Twin Cities as part of “Operation Metro Surge.”

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper

ICE is murdering unarmed civilians and we’re on the verge of invading Greenland and the Democratic Party is acting like it’s just business as usual and talking about fucking inflation.

We deserve so much better than this shit, what the fuck man.

ICE murdering an unarmed civilian is a distraction from kitchen-table issues
Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino on the scene with hundreds of federal officers at Portland and 34th street where the City of Minneapolis has confirmed a shooting involving federal law enforcement.

The community tells me an ICE officer shot an observer, I cannot confirm this myself.

It’s not her fault at all and I feel horrible for her but if you’re a leftist/progressive you just straight up need to nuke your entire social media and online presence if you’re going to work in politics.

We are dealing with evil, cruel people who want to ruin your life.

A bajillion dollars spent on consultants and endless obsession over squashing the left to protect party messaging just to produce this.

You can care about the President's reckless and illegal imperialism and his economic incompetence at the same time, but this just trivializes both.

If ICE really just murdered an innocent bystander in Minneapolis and millions aren’t out in the streets in the coming days then we’ve already lost
