Really thoughtful news roundup today. As a Minnesotan, I appreciate it. 💜 I am heartbroken and angry about all we have endured on DJT’s cruel and needless “retribution” tour.
I’ll never forgive or forget anyone who participated in or facilitated the violence.
That includes our Republican Congressional delegation who were and continue to be all in on the paramilitary political violence rained down on Minnesota. Rep. Tom Emmer has fallen all over himself to support it.
They are just going undercover in the rural areas at this point. Keep eyes on it. The communities that have higher agricultural workers are still targets. Meat packing plants. Food processing. Anywhere there "might" be migrant workers. ICE is now looking like delivery drivers (UPS?) and laborers.
Rural area here. Mostly going after the truckers as we have many Sikh who drive the big rigs. Several weeks back they picked up 7 of them. In the next county they were going to the restaurants and businesses that are mostly owned by Mexicans. They seem to be pretty low key here, at least I haven't heard of any major issues. Where I am is mostly fruit and nut orchards. Not many workers right now.
You seem surprised that Emmer has acted as he has. For years, we lived in a corner of the TC away from his district but were fully aware from the Strib and Pioneer Press about the constant irritant to democracy he was and remains
They are bored with life as we know it. There's nothing to work for, and they probably will continue to be that way. Unless they begin a new hobby. Like double buy groceries for families. Follow them to the car, say that it theirs. Then walk away.
Or tuck money in people's pockets... Pay a school 's lunch bill... Free food for a year.... Pass out Winter coats...
Maybe by doing things that you can watch the outcome of, a spark of feelings might come back to your souls. Just like Monsters Inc you'll feel more of a return from happiness, than from fear, anger, and just plain nastiness. Or send me a billion or so and my subscribers, followers will be glad to do it. Hey, a Gramma is allowed hope, right?
I'm in Finstad's district. He is just as bad but hasn't done enough to be in Repub leadership. He hasn't done much of anything at all but kiss Trump's butt.
Why won't a CONGRESSMAN speak out and protect his constituents?
Are the MAGA GOP that blind or indebted to defend atrocities?

Mediastouch are bourgeois propagandists who always lie on behalf of the Democratic Party. Well disciplined leftists don't support the democratic party, Reformist/Trotskyist individuals and organizations, the US military and empire, NATO, No Kings, Mamdani, Bernie, AOC, mRNA's the TQIA+, etc. The fact of the matter is that getting rid of Trump and voting in democrats won't solve the problem. That of capitalism. The US was a terrible country long before Trump, nor was the United States a democracy before him, either. This is the harsh reality of it all, which is that the United States can be considered the following: an oligarchy, a corporatocracy, an inverted totalitarianism system, a gerontocracy, a kakistocracy, a kleptocracy, and/or a techno feudalist society. But It is not a democracy, nor is it a republic. Moreover, in a 2014 Princeton Study, it showed that public opinion has a “near-zero” impact on U.S. law. Furthermore, it's important to note that the constitution isn't designed to serve the people as a whole. 📕 Book Recommendation: We the Elites: Why the US Constitution Serves the Few by Robert Ovetz. The thing is, liberalism, which you support goes hand in hand with Fascism which you claim to oppose, but you don't. You Democrat supporters are poorly informed and propagandized on many a topic. Unlike you liberals, I have factual and educational material. Moreover, because you haven't developed the skill of critical media literacy, you always seem to assume that those who are reporting factual and educational material are they themselves lying because you simply don't know any better. Only focusing on the terrible things the Republican Party is doing and ignoring what the Democrats do makes you not all that different than the Trump cult. Refer to the information I've collected on my website via my profile regarding the evils of capitalism. Start with the Dialectical Materialism page. While you're there, educate yourself on other topics as well. Oh, and stop assuming and calling everyone a Trump supporter who disagrees with and knows more than you. It's incredibly childish.
So green card holders, Irish Nationals married to Americans, born citizens and 5 year olds "shouldn't be in this country". A country built on human and land theft. Gotcha Tommy mumbles.
I don't trust you jem either .what I want to know is it hat happens these children in the h camps and their parents can they be returned to their homes,?
Which countries have not been built on land theft? The Romans stole their land from Etruscans. Much of Europe was Celtic, but others stole their land. Additionally, we don't know who the original landholders were. Possibly Neanderthals were the original people.
True, however not the best idea. How would you or anyone else like to have your home invaded and stolen, even if you have the title to it? Just because something happened in the past doesn't mean it was the right thing to do, then OR now. (I am not saying that you personally agree with land theft, just pointing out the immoral nature of the action which does not seem to be in the mindset of the present regime).
"Woke," when aligned with empathy and compassion, is defined by many as being aware of social, racial, and political injustices, aimed at fostering a more caring, inclusive, and equitable world. It emphasizes understanding the human behind every story, listening deeply, and actively working to alleviate suffering.
• Awareness & Action: Originally rooted in awareness of racial injustice, "woke" has evolved to represent a broader consciousness of marginalized groups and systemic inequalities.
• Empathy as Strength: Proponents argue that empathy—feeling the pain of others—is not weakness, but rather a strength that guides a desire for a fairer society.
• Compassion in Action: While empathy is feeling the suffering, compassion is the desire to relieve it, and kindness is the action taken to do so. Supporters see this mindset as leading with love and humanity.
Ultimately, being "woke" is a conscious, ongoing effort to recognize one's own biases and to care for the well-being of all people, regardless of their background.
Now, who could possibly oppose such a beneficent course of action? Possibly only those who are filled with anger, hatred, jealousy, envy, paranoia and ignorance.
I always get a kick out of those who think "woke" is derogatory. Talk about ass-backwards, woke is anything but derogatory. I'm woke and damn proud of it!

In terms of the United States. We must never salute and show respect towards the American flag. The United States was founded on genocide and built with slavery, with the United States empire responsible for countless deaths. The American flag is soaked in blood. The only time to smile when in the presence of the flag is when it's on fire or being torn to shreds. When it comes to holidays like Independence Day, Memorial Day and Veterans Day, that they are not worth celebrating as they are about brainwashing people that the United States is a great country and reinforcing that lie for those who already believe it. These holidays, I would argue, are primarily about selling and reinforcing the lie that service to the United States military industrial complex somehow made the country and that of the world a better place. After you take the time to learn about the history of the United States and its actions, you'll hopefully come to the same conclusion that I have, which is that there is NOTHING honorable about choosing to be a pawn for the military industrial complex in service to the bourgeoisie, or capitalists if you prefer. The fact of the matter is that the United States bullies and terrorizes the rest of the world as it refuses to take care of its own citizens, because of this I can't help but look at the United States' flag in disgust. The ONLY time when it was acceptable to support the troops and that of the military was during WW2. That's it. But even then, the United States didn't win the war. The Soviet Union did. The United States just swooped in at the last minute to do some minor cleanup and took all the credit. Almost immediately after the dust settled, the bourgeoisie wasted no time in stabbing the Soviet Union in the back by spreading anti-communist propaganda to get the public to fear and hate everything that gave power and any resemblance of freedom and prosperity to the proletariat. Now, if you know someone who has "served" and was injured or killed. Don't get mad at me for speaking truth to power. Direct your anger towards the United States government for sending them off to die in a pointless war, conflict, or military operation that the United States instigated. Let me be absolutely clear. Although I disagree with Veterans and military personnel, in general, for their choice to be a willing pawn for the military industrial complex who I feel are undeserving of an honor, that does not mean I hate them. Unless they were participants in war crimes and are proud of slaughtering people, whether directly or indirectly, that's a different story. People who are proud of killing others who wish they could do it over and over again, those are sick and twisted individuals. That caveat aside, I believe everyone deserves to have their needs met with a government that actually cares about the well-being of people both here and abroad. In conclusion, the underlying reason for all these wars and conflicts is that the United States needs oil to back up the petro dollar. Without the dollars influence and buying power, the United States loses most, if not all, of its hegemony and economic stranglehold over others. So, basically, the problem is that of capitalism. With that said, though, by no means does that mean other countries are innocent in their foreign affairs, but the United States is by far the worst. It's not even a contest.

We need to always be nonviolent, otherwise they’ll seize upon it, and things will have a very different outcome. A very detrimental, horrible one, that will be nearly impossible to recover from. We got this.
Bondi is a DERANGED PEDOPHILE PROTECTOR! Her mission was to tote that the stock markets are up and that’s all Donald Trump and The billionaire oligarchs care about.
Unfortunately, ICE will not be affected if DHS shuts down. ICE is fully funded through next year via the One Bloated Bullshit Bill passed by his maggots last summer. We’re not out of the woods with these masked armed to the teeth pussies.
And because they were losing ground faster than gaining or holding it. Minnesotans are not easily intimidated and by standing their ground, "ice-out" now is in Feb. and in May
ICE were violent and breaking the law prior to Trump, but of course you liberals said little to nothing about that at the time because you're ignorant and propagandized hypocrites happily support imperialism and fascism when a Democrat is the one selling it to you.
And no, just because ICE and the Police weren't behaving exactly the same way prior to Trump doe not prove me wrong. You Democrat supporters lack a Marxist-Leninist Perspective of the role of the Police and ICE in a corrupt capitalist system. You also lack an understanding of history and that of politics beyond the surface level.
■ As reported in 2014. US Border Agents Intentionally Stepped in Front of Moving Vehicles to Justify Shooting at Them (sound familiar?)
The Democratic Party are NOT going to abolish ICE. The Democratic Party doesn't care about the people. It never has. The purpose of the Democratic Party is to prevent a real left wing movement from taking place.

The thing is that I’ve put in the time to develop my critical media literacy and in turn have escaped the peasant mindset. You on the other hand haven't. Currently. You're more comfortable with various lies you've been told and would rather believe in those then to have your understanding of the world shattered. I suggest that instead of making assumptions and whatnot that you put in the time as I have to learn about different things from trustworthy sources, as well as listen to those like myself who have done a majority of the leg work for you by essentially providing you a cheat sheet of information so that you don't have to look things up as much. (Link in profile)
Please keep supporting Minnesota! I'm sure lots of people are still afraid to leave their homes, lots of businesses have been devastated, etc. Minnesotans marched in crazy-cold weather for all of us! We should keep helping them.
Who will pay for all the smashed car windows? Each one probably cost $1000 to repair. We can pursue criminal charges against the murderers after trump is gone
Absolutely do that. Try to get as many names of Dictator Criminal Nazi/Communist's Gestapo as you (actually, should be "WE") can and sue them to the "T" once the Dumpster/A**hole is out of office.
Linda, why wait until the Dumpster is gone? All the judges going against him winning all of the government prosecutions against him should continue until the TrumpEpstein files are released so “we the people” can get all of those pedophiles out of our government, including the MONSTER DJT!
Lets pray this undemocratic bull 💩💩 is finally over the tho i doubt it since the orange turd speaks w many tongues non of which. Tell the truth. Time to end this sdmin and get on the road to peace and sanity
That demented lunatic is always ranting and raving... he is fkn nuts... belongs in a straight jacket, shackles on his feet, blind folded and duct tape over his mouth....
And I thought that questioning Dems on the Committee were slightly better and more aggressive than they've been before, say, w/ Kash. They got so much criticism for not standing up and controlling the conversation, you can tell by the "reclaiming time" endlessly demanded. And if the questioner didn't demand it, you could hear Raskin demand it. Of course Gym was purposely slow to respond and indulged his party way more than he should have.
This regime crossed the rubicon a long time ago and so many people need to go to prison because of their actions! There is nothing legitimate about them. Ignoring or bypassing Congress, ignoring or bypassing the Judiciary, ignoring or bypassing the Constitution and taking a flamethrower to their Oath of Office. The word "treason" was created for them.
The whole regime are a bunch of liars, thieves and criminals 🤯😡💩🤮🤥
Why? What are they planning?

You seem surprised that Emmer has acted as he has. For years, we lived in a corner of the TC away from his district but were fully aware from the Strib and Pioneer Press about the constant irritant to democracy he was and remains
Not surprised, just perpetually disappointed 👎 I keep hoping that these folks have some red line that will finally be crossed. It appears they don’t.
They are bored with life as we know it. There's nothing to work for, and they probably will continue to be that way. Unless they begin a new hobby. Like double buy groceries for families. Follow them to the car, say that it theirs. Then walk away.

THEY ! Always Have Something Up Their Sleeves !!! 😮😮 Just Testing The Waters !!
My thoughts exactly! They’re just going to move them to another “blue” city! This was a test run.
I’m guessing that he will be moving resources to El Paso since there will be closed air space there. Whatever he has planned, it won’t be good.
We’ve been jaded by all the lies. Caution is the order of the day…..
I'm with you. What new and horrendous scheme is next down the pipeline?
Whatever it is, it must be outlandish to get us to turn away ….it won't work.
They are only going to the war room to “Restructure their tactics and strategies!”
With little army men, tanks, planes, helicopter..

Say it loud,

And I’m proud!
THEY should try it.

For sure and antifa
Totally
Me too! Not only am I “woke" I'm also Antifa!!! AND PROUD of it!!!
Hell yeah!!! 👍👏 The best of both worlds.
Exactly, they love to brainwash. One day they'll say joy is bad & dumb magats will believe them 🤣
I keep sayingbthey don't understand the definition of woke. It is a positive thing..
From "The Hill We Climb" by Amanda Gorman, National Youth Poet Laureate, given at the Biden inauguration on 20-Jan-21. The full poem here, is worth reading: Iowa State University. https://awpc.cattcenter.iastate.edu/2021/02/03/the-hill-we-climb-jan-20-2021/
We did not feel prepared to be the heirs
of such a terrifying hour
but within it we found the power
to author a new chapter.
To offer hope and laughter to ourselves.
So while once we asked,
how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert,
How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
...
We will rebuild, reconcile and recover.
And every known nook of our nation and
every corner called our country,
our people diverse and beautiful will emerge,
battered and beautiful.
When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid,
the new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it.
If only we're brave enough to be it.

The ONLY time when it was acceptable to support the troops and that of the military was during WW2. That's it. But even then, the United States didn't win the war. The Soviet Union did. The United States just swooped in at the last minute to do some minor cleanup and took all the credit. Almost immediately after the dust settled, the bourgeoisie wasted no time in stabbing the Soviet Union in the back by spreading anti-communist propaganda to get the public to fear and hate everything that gave power and any resemblance of freedom and prosperity to the proletariat. Now, if you know someone who has "served" and was injured or killed. Don't get mad at me for speaking truth to power. Direct your anger towards the United States government for sending them off to die in a pointless war, conflict, or military operation that the United States instigated. Let me be absolutely clear. Although I disagree with Veterans and military personnel, in general, for their choice to be a willing pawn for the military industrial complex who I feel are undeserving of an honor, that does not mean I hate them. Unless they were participants in war crimes and are proud of slaughtering people, whether directly or indirectly, that's a different story. People who are proud of killing others who wish they could do it over and over again, those are sick and twisted individuals. That caveat aside, I believe everyone deserves to have their needs met with a government that actually cares about the well-being of people both here and abroad. In conclusion, the underlying reason for all these wars and conflicts is that the United States needs oil to back up the petro dollar. Without the dollars influence and buying power, the United States loses most, if not all, of its hegemony and economic stranglehold over others. So, basically, the problem is that of capitalism. With that said, though, by no means does that mean other countries are innocent in their foreign affairs, but the United States is by far the worst. It's not even a contest.

Let's not celebrate until we are certain that the last of the Gestapo has left Minnesota!
They will just head to another blue state to terrorize. :(
Exactly. Millions of money had been spent on ICE.
Ohio's Haitians, for ex.
Totally agree!
Absolutely!
We know that protests work and we will never back down.
We need to always be nonviolent, otherwise they’ll seize upon it, and things will have a very different outcome. A very detrimental, horrible one, that will be nearly impossible to recover from. We got this.
Bondi was horrible at the hearing yesterday as she wouldn’t face the survivors or even apologize to them for their suffering. She is soulless.
Bondi is a DERANGED PEDOPHILE PROTECTOR! Her mission was to tote that the stock markets are up and that’s all Donald Trump and The billionaire oligarchs care about.
I think she's in the files as well, and not just as an attorney. You can tell she's scared.
She’s still a disgustingly nasty person either way!
ICE retreated because they need funding from Congress approved. Continue fighting!
Unfortunately, ICE will not be affected if DHS shuts down. ICE is fully funded through next year via the One Bloated Bullshit Bill passed by his maggots last summer. We’re not out of the woods with these masked armed to the teeth pussies.
Not if they have already spent it all!
Money we be adjusted on the books to make up any shortfall: do not doubt it
No ! WILL Have To Acert Our 2A Rights When They Violate Our 4&5 Amendment Rights !!
And because they were losing ground faster than gaining or holding it. Minnesotans are not easily intimidated and by standing their ground, "ice-out" now is in Feb. and in May
BINGO!!!
ICE were violent and breaking the law prior to Trump, but of course you liberals said little to nothing about that at the time because you're ignorant and propagandized hypocrites happily support imperialism and fascism when a Democrat is the one selling it to you.
And no, just because ICE and the Police weren't behaving exactly the same way prior to Trump doe not prove me wrong. You Democrat supporters lack a Marxist-Leninist Perspective of the role of the Police and ICE in a corrupt capitalist system. You also lack an understanding of history and that of politics beyond the surface level.

The Democratic Party are NOT going to abolish ICE. The Democratic Party doesn't care about the people. It never has. The purpose of the Democratic Party is to prevent a real left wing movement from taking place.
https://youtu.be/tDQ-p2LuThY
Well disciplined leftists don't support the democratic party, Reformist/Trotskyist individuals and organizations, the US military and empire, NATO, No Kings, Mamdani, Bernie, AOC, mRNA's the TQIA+, etc. The fact of the matter is that getting rid of Trump and voting in democrats won't solve the problem. That of capitalism. The US was a terrible country long before Trump, nor was the United States a democracy before him, either. This is the harsh reality of it all, which is that the United States can be considered the following: an oligarchy, a corporatocracy, an inverted totalitarianism system, a gerontocracy, a kakistocracy, a kleptocracy, and/or a techno feudalist society. But It is not a democracy, nor is it a republic. Moreover, in a 2014 Princeton Study, it showed that public opinion has a “near-zero” impact on U.S. law. Furthermore, it's important to note that the constitution isn't designed to serve the people as a whole. 📕 Book Recommendation: We the Elites: Why the US Constitution Serves the Few by Robert Ovetz. The thing is, liberalism, which you support goes hand in hand with Fascism which you claim to oppose, but you don't. You Democrat supporters are poorly informed and propagandized on many a topic. Unlike you liberals, I have factual and educational material. Moreover, because you haven't developed the skill of critical media literacy, you always seem to assume that those who are reporting factual and educational material are they themselves lying because you simply don't know any better. Only focusing on the terrible things the Republican Party is doing and ignoring what the Democrats do makes you not all that different than the Trump cult. Stop assuming and calling everyone a Trump supporter who disagrees with and knows more than you. It's incredibly childish.

In terms of the United States. We must never salute and show respect towards the American flag. The United States was founded on genocide and built with slavery, with the United States empire responsible for countless deaths. The American flag is soaked in blood. The only time to smile when in the presence of the flag is when it's on fire or being torn to shreds. When it comes to holidays like Independence Day, Memorial Day and Veterans Day, that they are not worth celebrating as they are about brainwashing people that the United States is a great country and reinforcing that lie for those who already believe it. These holidays, I would argue, are primarily about selling and reinforcing the lie that service to the United States military industrial complex somehow made the country and that of the world a better place. After you take the time to learn about the history of the United States and its actions, you'll hopefully come to the same conclusion that I have, which is that there is NOTHING honorable about choosing to be a pawn for the military industrial complex in service to the bourgeoisie, or capitalists if you prefer.

The thing is that I’ve put in the time to develop my critical media literacy and in turn have escaped the peasant mindset. You on the other hand haven't. Currently. You're more comfortable with various lies you've been told and would rather believe in those then to have your understanding of the world shattered. I suggest that instead of making assumptions and whatnot that you put in the time as I have to learn about different things from trustworthy sources, as well as listen to those like myself who have done a majority of the leg work for you by essentially providing you a cheat sheet of information so that you don't have to look things up as much.

Please keep supporting Minnesota! I'm sure lots of people are still afraid to leave their homes, lots of businesses have been devastated, etc. Minnesotans marched in crazy-cold weather for all of us! We should keep helping them.

Who will pay for all the smashed car windows? Each one probably cost $1000 to repair. We can pursue criminal charges against the murderers after trump is gone
Absolutely do that. Try to get as many names of Dictator Criminal Nazi/Communist's Gestapo as you (actually, should be "WE") can and sue them to the "T" once the Dumpster/A**hole is out of office.
Linda, why wait until the Dumpster is gone? All the judges going against him winning all of the government prosecutions against him should continue until the TrumpEpstein files are released so “we the people” can get all of those pedophiles out of our government, including the MONSTER DJT!
Linda, I meant the judges are winning against the government charges against Dems making statements against him.
ICE is the real public safety threat
Indeed they are, so much so that I refer to them as an
I-llegal
C-riminal
E-nterprise
There’s incredible damage in MN, in addition to trauma. Trump wasn’t defeated. He and Miller terrorized this city with no consequences.
Lets pray this undemocratic bull 💩💩 is finally over the tho i doubt it since the orange turd speaks w many tongues non of which. Tell the truth. Time to end this sdmin and get on the road to peace and sanity
And now they are picking up (some of) their marbles and declaring victory.
That demented lunatic is always ranting and raving... he is fkn nuts... belongs in a straight jacket, shackles on his feet, blind folded and duct tape over his mouth....
In jail
Oh duct tape over that mouth is a must!
pams performance was for her master trump,
And I thought that questioning Dems on the Committee were slightly better and more aggressive than they've been before, say, w/ Kash. They got so much criticism for not standing up and controlling the conversation, you can tell by the "reclaiming time" endlessly demanded. And if the questioner didn't demand it, you could hear Raskin demand it. Of course Gym was purposely slow to respond and indulged his party way more than he should have.
“ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.”
No longer catching illegal criminals, now militarized to go after lawful citizens exercising free speech.
True that
This regime crossed the rubicon a long time ago and so many people need to go to prison because of their actions! There is nothing legitimate about them. Ignoring or bypassing Congress, ignoring or bypassing the Judiciary, ignoring or bypassing the Constitution and taking a flamethrower to their Oath of Office. The word "treason" was created for them.
Thank you MTN for keeping it real!
