I want to convey this in no uncertain terms. The citizens of Minnesota--an entire state--are terrified right now. The federal government is responding through greater force. The federal government is not looking at its own citizens as "citizens." They are looking at us as something to "break."

We need the Epstein Files released as legally required. Just the small percent that have been released so far have been incredibly damning. We need the abusers to be charged and to face punishment for their actions.

Two white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

It is unacceptable, it is dangerous, and it must stop. We need Congressional Republicans to finally side with the people of Minnesota instead of this tyrannical president to protect our communities and restore peace.

Hakeem Jeffries: "Clearly, significant reform needs to take place as it relates to the manner in which ICE is conducting itself. ICE is using taxpayer dollars to brutalize American citizens and to unnecessarily and viciously target law-abiding immigrant families and communities."

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Where is the outrage about schools having to close now, due to ICE/CBP attacks (with no end in sight)? No concerns about learning loss? It’s bad to have to close for public health reasons, but not because our society is being ripped apart at the seams, and our government is attacking us?

Trump‘s and Bondi’s abuse of the Justice Department is an impeachable offense.
Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan says she has learned that federal prosecutors are investigating her after she took part in a video urging military service members to resist illegal orders.

“Ah but you idiot you fool they are cleverly forcing the Republicans into an inferior negotiating position!”

Maybe! But at some point you actually need to lead public opinion and fix core political problems which requires moral and verbal clarity. Stopped waiting for it a while ago.

Watching Dems leave rhetorical windows open for continuing to fund the Chud Gestapo would be Jokerfying if I weren’t already quite Jokerfied.

We need a new constitutional order that prevents a president from waging domestic war on his political enemies, not some tweaks like mask bans and body cams.

Trump is jamming the news cycle full of awful things to distract us—but we can’t stop talking about the Epstein Files.

I’m fighting to enforce the law and make the sure the full files are released.

I am joining my colleagues in filing articles of impeachment against Secretary Kristi Noem.

This is beyond politics. This is beyond partisan lines. This is about our solemn duty to protect the American people, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting.

Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

Trump admits that this is nothing but political retribution. Minnesota voted against him three times and now he’s punishing us – putting lives at risk and wasting enormous resources in the process.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.
