Yes it’s cold in Minnesota—but we embrace it. John and I were in Hastings with Mayor Fasbender for Hockey Day Minnesota to watch my alma mater, Wayzata High School, take on Rogers. Photo taken with parents right after their son scored a goal!

Please consider helping one of our employees who was blatantly racially profiled by ICE, detained, and is now facing deportation. Funds go to support his wife who is still here and afraid to go to work because of what happened to him. Any amount helps. THANKS.

This is a response to someone asking “respectfully … stand down.”
Dude go away. No one wants your know nothing, consultant, conflicted-interest ass advice. Go back to where you live and try to improve things in *your* community.
You aren’t “helping out.” You’re trying to make money.

I am not standing down. I am pissed. People in Minnesota have treated me like shit for helping out. The attacks are still coming 24 hours later. I let it go this am thinking all of you had more to do than attacking someone helping you but I was wrong, and so I am fighting.

Enforcing the prohibition on shoplifting also falls to individual employees.
That doesn’t lead Target toward unfettered allowance of theft.

The general theme of this commentary is "stop asking MN companies to ban ICE from their properties." The argument is that enforcing the ban would fall to individual low-paid employees, who would be placed in danger.

Judge Menendez is also assigned to Keith Ellison’s lawsuit asking to kick ICE out of MN.
People should be mentally prepared for Judge Menendez to deny relief in that case.
The AG’s complaint is righteous very well done. But the legal theories are iust incredibly unlikely to prevail.

Cannot overstate how awesome the Dropkick Murphys are. I studiously avoid being the type of parent who gets their kids into ancient pop culture that the parents enjoyed but the kids won't relate to, with the sole exception of sending my 7 year old to school in Dropkick Murphys t-shirts.

Three things are true:
A) the Feds are out of control, and have occupied the twin Cities violently.
B) Minnesotans are righteously justified to be hitting the streets to resist that violence.
C) The Feds want a violent response so they can call up the military or the guard from southern states.

Reminder: be careful to only share verified info. There have been two rumors recently of people getting shot by ICE that turned out to be just rumors, but they were shared a lot before being verified. Look for witness accounts and verify.
