A must read investigation into a Mexican immigrant with no criminal record who was hospitalized in Minneapolis with multiple skull fractures while in ICE custody. Federal agents claim he ran headfirst into a wall. Doctors determined that was impossible. https://t.co/l6MWyUv2FR

January was a warning. Federal agents killed protesters. Judges were ignored. Journalists were arrested. Elections were raided. If this month was any indication, the march toward dictatorship isn’t gradual—it’s exponential. https://t.co/x1Ct8tO5OB

These masked goons terrorizing American cities are not behaving like legitimate law enforcement. Nobody knows that better than real cops.

They’re playing musical chairs with Greg Bovino, Tom Homan, and Kristi Noem. But the chaos, the violence, and the fear that ICE agents are inflicting on our community continues.

Masked armed men carrying out warrantless arrests. Jailing journalists. Labeling opposition “terrorists”. Purging voter roles. Prosecuting opposition. Lying with impunity. As we fight this descent into authoritarianism, we need to be armed—armed with a plan. So I talked to the

“It’s worse since Bovino got kicked out 
 The number of abductions, the number of agents in our community, has not decreased. If anything, it feels retaliatory now.”

50 years ago today, the Supreme Court made a decision in Buckley v. Valeo that spending money on elections is protected speech. And if money is speech, its “expression” in politics can not be limited. Without this reasoning, there would be no Citizens United.  Today, we are

This is one of the school superintendents in a western district of the Twin Cities. She and school board members are being followed and intimated. This has nothing to do with immigration. It’s about creating fear.
