ICE tried to kidnap one man from a local grocery store in St. Paul, MN, but community members used their humanity & their bodies as a human shield to successfully fend them off. ✌🏻

Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.
Now you're upset?
Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.
A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.

Multiple churches are using their Christmas nativity scenes to protest ICE.
This one in Massachusetts placed an ICE was here sign above an empty space where the baby Jesus would’ve been laid.

This $1b number needs a fact check. If you add up the Feeding our Future numbers and other scandals, it is a significant number. But I am not sure how it totals over $1b. The NYT also threw out this number and now it's being repeated, usually with no mention of ring leader Aimee Bock.

Hey Minneapolis, let’s boycott the hell out of Waymo and it make it known they’re not welcome here.
If you really need a car ride, call a cab or order an Uber/Lyft so the money goes to the driver and not some tech company.
And let’s pressure the MN Legislature to ban driverless taxis at minimum.

Waymo, the driverless ride-hailing company, is bringing its fleet of autonomous electric vehicles to Minneapolis.
Ridesharing without a driver? It's coming to Minneapolis
Testing will begin Thursday morning. No date has been set to start offering rides to passengers.

Absolutely not. The solution to safer streets and healthier neighborhoods is *fewer* cars, not more.
We have a lot of evidence about what works (e.g., more accessible, affordable public transit) -- let's invest in that.
