Federal and local law enforcement wearing masks is just plain unamerican. It’s a cowards move, and shows the fact that the kinds of deportations happening and the methods are, shameful and unpopular.

This is what my MP does. Listens to constituents. As they all should. 👏
Ahead of the crucial vote on the welfare changes, currently scheduled for July 1st - I'm gathering more #NorthSomerset residents' views on these proposed changes to ensure that I understand the views of our community.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?

ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.

How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Ah. Memories of an intelligent, witty human in charge.
A nice little respite amongst the madness.
It’s painful to see how far the office of president has fallen. There was a time when a man of class and integrity held the position and was happy to crack jokes at his own expense. Happy Obama Appreciation Day.

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center.

Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them.

We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

If you hate Greta Thunberg it’s because she, unlike you, refuses to look away. It’s because she’s doing what we all should be, actually. She’s holding up a mirror to our hypocrisy, complicity and complacency. You don’t actually hate her. You hate yourself.
