this bike ride was both a beautiful display of defiant solidarity, and a promise to the agents still occupying our city that they are about to be absolutely swarmed by ICE Watch on bike patrol.
Epic Unity Ride today in Minneapolis.
Highlights: turnout, families cheering from windows & front doorways, and a beer box.

Jean-Luc Brunel, who died under mysterious circumstances in the Paris Prison de la Santé, is the man who recruited Melania Knauss, brought her to the US, introduced her to Epstein, who in turn introduced her to Trump. The rest is history. There is no legitimate reason for any of the redactions here.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

Countries of the world - This be an example of why you should cancel your appearance at FIFA. It’s also a very clear reason to not come to the US for the Olympics. A star player detained in the state he plays in. Can you imagine what will happen to your athletes from water polo, track, cycling, etc

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
