One small thing you can do *right now* — donate $5, $10, $50, whatever you're able — to this rent fund for South Minneapolis daycare workers whose families are sheltering in place. Can we raise $5k today??
Whatever you can give matters. And if you can't give, can you share?

"By avoiding taking sides, by not acknowledging what is actually happening, these supposed leaders accomplished nothing. Shut it all down until it’s safe for every Minnesotan to drive to a sports venue without being rammed, beaten, abducted or killed."👇

Souhan: What good are sports in times like these?
Local owners should be making a statement. Better yet, they should be taking action.

Lots of people are asking me why DOJ is leveraging the ICE deployment in Minnesota to obtain unreacted copies of the state's sensitive voter file data. I recently explained why this is the biggest legal story and may be the biggest political story of the year.

Extortion...this is why they were here along. #ICE
🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇
There you have it.
ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.
It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse at the VA
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.
And they executed him.

I’m not much for religion but if I were, if a line of clergy flew in to freezing weather to line up and oppose me while singing songs of faith, I might be thinking “are we the baddies?”

This is what your #Democratic leaders are doing while their state is being terrorized by #ICE.
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!
