MS NOW: Why haven't you gotten a dozen Dem senators & NYC cops, flown to Minneapolis & said to the guys wearing masks 'We've brought people who know how to operate'
SCHUMER: You're right. We need police officers to tell ICE, 'You don't know what the hell you're doing. You need real police training'

We think we're safe here in Vermont. I'm sure the people in Denmark, Austria, etc. felt the same way.
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

We've experienced the same here in Chittenden County. Our house has had prescription deliveries, bills, tax documents stuck in a regional hub, "out for delivery" for days, and late. Are private boxes the answer? Carriers are friendly and helpful -- when they can deliver. vtdigger.org/2026/01/13/s...
