This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

U.S. defense officials are saying 1,500 active-duty soldiers are on standby in Alaska for possible deployment to Minneapolis. That’s on top of the 3,000+ ICE agents already in the area.

We don’t really believe this is about undocumented immigrant crime in Minneapolis, do we?

5 months ago Trump demanded UCLA pay him $1 billion to restore its funding.

Now Trump is monetizing peace and demanding nations pay him $1 billion.

Outright Mafia racketeering and extortion, just on a global scale.
Trump Wants Nations to Pay $1 Billion to Stay on His Peace Board
The Trump administration is asking countries that want a permanent spot on his new Board of Peace to contribute at least $1 billion.

WE ALL KNOW
But the @theguardian.com caught on tape

Leaked footage of the cruelty of ICE AGENTS

"We're gonna end up, shooting some of them"

"They're starting to resist more now"

"Just remember, you can smell that (inaudible) $30,000 bonus"

Masked, no warrant, no value for human rights

Sounds like a big deal.

“Now, a damning new study could put AI companies on the defensive. In it, Stanford and Yale researchers found compelling evidence that AI models are actually copying all that data, not “learning” from it.”

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.

In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights.

We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs.

Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.
