The man murdered by ICE was 37-year-old Minneapolis resident and American CITIZEN Alex Pretti. He was a nurse with NO CRIMINAL RECORD. He was an ICE observer legally filming the agents. He had a legal permit to carry a gun, which he did not draw. ICE took his gun BEFORE they shot him.

Rest in peace Victor Manuel Diaz. He was a Latino immigrant kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. He died in ICE custody at Camp East Montana, Texas while facing deportation.

We're putting pressure on Target to make a public statement against ICE because they've been silent despite violent abductions in their stores. People bought all their $0.89 cans of salt (melts ICE) and then immediately returned it (ICE still here). Time to disrupt a little bit of business.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."
This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

We Love Mpls wants to oust the progressives on City Council and re-elect Mayor Frey? But why?
As always - follow the money.

Another key difference here aside from ideology is the Frey PACs appear to be willing to endorse anyone with a pulse.
Frey-aligned PACs
-All of Mpls
-We ❤️ Minneapolis
Progressive PACs
-Mpls for the Many
PAC that should exist but doesn't
-Mostly People from Suburbs West of Mpls

Okay so I'm late to paying attention at city level, specifically. Who wants to tell me about Mpls for the Many & All of Mpls? Who are these people & what's going on here? I assume it's Frey/not-Frey division but is that accurate and is there more?
