If anyone’s got more info, I’d love to know what’s going on here. It’s either fully and definitely a honeypot or it’s someone undergoing some very seismic political changes who is still very committed to the idea of the rule of law who I want to talk to.

House Republicans just enabled ICE to continue their lawlessness for another 10 days. But at that point, they’ll need Dem votes to continue.

We must not agree to another dollar for ICE until we add my amendment blocking the federal government from seizing voter rolls, ballots, or voting machines.

Trump is using Minnesota as a proving ground for what he wants to do to the rest of the nation. Minnesota is for America what Ukraine is for Europe. What he gets away with in Minnesota will be inflicted upon the rest of the nation.
They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We are 6 days away from precinct caucuses.

Let me repeat:

There are no free and fair midterm elections in November if the people of Minnesota are unable to participate in the selection of their candidates in February.
The Minnesota @dfl.org precinct caucuses are February 3rd.

LETS SAY THIS PART LOUDLY: There are no free and fair midterm elections in November if the people of MN are unable to participate in the selection of their candidates in February.

We cannot participate freely with ICE in Minnesota.

A rare post from me to flail about how excited I am to have sent my first donation of $445 to the Immigrant Defense Network through sales of my piece Minnesota Spite! You may have seen a similar AI-generated piece floating around on shady popup sites, but only the original supports local causes.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.
