I’m grateful to Judge Biery for helping to bring Liam Ramos and his father Adrian home.
But it is a sign of how far we are from the normal rule of law that a judge even had to issue a decision like this one.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

My ancestors led NPL (1 precursor to the Farmer-Labor part of the DFL).
They were incredibly progressive, social democrats who TOOK ACTION in the community. Feeding people, helping people. What we are seeing in response to ICE.
@dfl.org needs to get back to these roots, not follow DNC policy

MN Caucuses are tonight but instead of allowing for a robust, honest, truly democratic process, the @dfl.org has cleared the deck for a milquetoast centrist who is all talk, no action.
When will the DNC figure out that we want progressive candidates who stand up to fascists? Now was the time!

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Yesterday was AMAZING! 🚴♀️ An estimated 100k cyclists from 200 cities road a Memorial Bike Ride to honor Alex Pretti.
Why? Because Alex was an avid cyclist. 🥹
I'll admit this had my tear ducts gushing for a full 5 minutes.
Fascists vs Cyclists. 🚴♀️

When I saw Liam at the Dilley Detention Center, something was clearly wrong. He was lethargic, not eating, and depressed.
Thankfully, Liam and his dad are back home in Minneapolis with their family.
