rep katie jones lists policies they want to pass with a DFL house majority like banning masks for law enforcement, making it possible to sue agents for violations. talks about program partnering her safe district with uncertain district that needs doorknocking. she just wants hers on a transit line

rep zack stephenson is confident in a DFL house majority this year. “when you look around the state and you see the energy and activism ordinary people are feeling responding to this federal attack… you’re mistaken if you think all those folks are just going back to normal life when ICE leaves.”

After yesterday’s crash in Saint Paul, it’s imperative we keep our roads safe for our neighbors. Write to Minneapolis
leaders and let them know that we demand temporary traffic calming to protect us from these federal goons.

Tell Minneapolis: SLOW DOWN ICE on our streets!
Join us in telling the City to implement official anti-ICE traffic calming, or support grassroots filter blockades so they can operate safely!

still looking for those photos of amy klobuchar on the streets standing up to ICE like we saw from jason chavez and elliott payne and doron clark, to name just a handful of electeds who are out here protecting people
Minnesotans stood together, stared down ICE, and never blinked.

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Not a single reporter asked Homan how many DHS troops would remain in the Twin Cities after the surge “ends.” Journalism is so dead

This morning Tom Homan announced operation metro surge would end soon. I’ll believe it when I see it. We still need people out and staying vigilant until every last agent is gone and everyone wrongly taken to Texas or anyone else is back home.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
Homan: "Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed."

what sort of deal with the devil did you make to sell out our neighbors, governor?
The long road to recovery starts now.

The impact on our economy, our schools, and people’s lives won’t be reversed overnight. That work starts today.

I’ll have more at 9:45.

With the announcement that the ICE surge in MN is ending, I’m thinking about how so many people thought the child in Bad Bunny’s halftime performance was Liam Ramos and how our need for Hollywood endings and satisfying payoffs might hinder us from dealing with the painful and traumatic aftermath.
