Two white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves.
The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

The fact that an article like this is even written, outside of a boating specific rag, shows how badly the rich need to be taxed at a much higher rate.

Trump is jamming the news cycle full of awful things to distract us—but we can’t stop talking about the Epstein Files.
I’m fighting to enforce the law and make the sure the full files are released.

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, “then he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.

Silly question, I know, but if the shooter had been previously hit by a car and was still recovering, then A) what was he doing stepping in front of a running car and B) if he had PTSD, as stated, why was he even on field duty?
