St. Paul Police going from “we didn’t help ICE” to “we were called to assist” the feds in less than 24 hours. Ridiculous.
Graphic of a statement from the St. Paul PD Chief, which reads: “ON NOVEMBER 25, 2025, FEDERAL AGENTS WERE WORKING A DETAIL ON THE 600 BLOCK OF ROSE AVENUE IN SAINT PAUL. WHEN THE FEDERAL PERIMETER WAS BROKEN BY PROTESTORS, SAINT PAUL POLICE OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO ASSIST. THE STREET WAS COMPROMISED WITH FOOT AND VEHICLE TRAFFIC, AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION WAS UNFOLDING. SAINT PAUL POLICE OFFICERS STOOD BETWEEN PROTESTORS AND FEDERAL AGENTS, SO PROTESTORS COULD EXPRESS THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND FEDERAL AGENTS COULD COMPLETE THEIR LEGAL OBJECTIVES.”

Happy #Labor Day! Thank you, #Unions!
The image shows a bar graph with three columns, the first indicating that low-union dense states have a median household income of $75,742 (the lowest of the three). Medium union-dense states have a median household income of $80,203. And the high-density union states have a median household income of $88,035.

Carolyn Wiger’s face today when I met her and said “I don’t know your dad personally, at all, but I’ve shouted ‘Team Carolyn!’ at him randomly at the Capitol, multiple times.” #Survivor
