Cities are on the frontlines of an important battle. I wish I could say Minneapolis will be the last city facing this—but we won’t be. Local leaders have to speak up and step up. Our democracy depends on it.
Thanks to the U.S. Conference of Mayors for having me.

I met with U.S. Senate and House Democratic leaders in D.C. on Thursday. There’s broad consensus: how ICE is operating in Minneapolis is wrong and needs to stop. It’ll take all of us — local to federal — pushing for change. Proud to stand with so many leaders on this.

Once again, opposing housing near you is a fundamentally conservative proposition, and a lot of people on the broader left who share the thoughts in this video need to take some inventory of themselves.
Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

And reports are that ICE removed ALL the witnesses from the scene - transporting them to the Whipple building?! Next they'll be destroying the other videos. I guess it's illegal to witness an ICE murder now. JFC.

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

How is Trump pardoning a republican rep's meth dealer son not a major story at every media outlet right now? Given the pearl clutching over the pardon of Hunter Biden, has the GOP and corporate media suddenly started caring about addiction? Or is there just a double standard? (Rhetorical)

ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!

Renee Good could have been Charles Manson and ICE still shouldn't have murdered her.
Pretending her "ties" to anything are worthy of investigation privileges the Trump regime's lie that there might be a reason why it was OK to shoot her.

A brief, shining time
One of my sons died of a disease that later became vaccine preventable. But now that and other vaccines have been struck from the recommended list for children.
