Taking a break today from posting about concentration-camp matters for the newsletter, I wrote instead about a sociological study that might shed light on the Trump administration's reckless violence and the loyalty of his most diehard supporters.
Fraud, waste and abuse! Oh but only us, not them, right. Forgot. How silly of me.
WoooooooOOOOOOOoooo!
Communities are being forced to set up local non profits and Go Fund Me accounts to help people meet their basic needs while our country uses tax dollars to go into another stupid war.
Where?!!!
An unpopular president is about to drag the country into an unpopular war. Democratic leader should be out front in opposition, not politely asking for a briefing.
My piece in @foreignpolicy.com foreignpolicy.com/2026/02/27/d...
St. Paul Public Schools parents group needs about $63k more to keep 174 families housed. March is soon, rent will be due. Can you chip in? Can you share?
When I say our leaders aren’t helping us, this is what I mean. ICE is showing no signs of leaving but our senator, who is currently running for governor, doesn’t even know that. And she’s doing the administration‘s work for them.
ICE is still here in Columbia Heights. People are still unable to work, feed their families, pay their rent. If you have a couple bucks to spare, please do. If not, just go please meet at least one neighbor. You will want to be ready if this ever comes to your community and that is the first step.
Please resist the urge to post Olympics spoilers, please please. I guess I know how the men’s free skate turned out….
Cannot be reformed. #AbolishICE #AbolishDHS

This is Minneapolis:
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
Ring camera search party™️ hits different with slavecatchers in your town
You know when you're supposed to tackle someone, as law enforcement? When your life or the life of someone else is at risk. There are some other one-offs, but none are "when arresting an unarmed peaceful protestor."
DID YOU KNOW?
If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home!
They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!
So much for courting Latino votes for the GOP, I guess 🤷🏼♀️
This makes the Jan 23, 2026 action the largest strike in Minnesota History, and depending on which number you use, 3rd in American History after the massive national strikes of 1919, or the Great Railroad Strike of 1922. I note with extreme interest that mainstream media didn't report these facts.
‼️‼️‼️
DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.
It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.
I feel like this would be a perfect use of Minneapolis Foundation $$$.
Wednesday community lunch is the best lunch spot in town! 😋
I hate how the right is trying to make “protest” and “protestor” into bad words. 🤬🤬🤬
That’s my church. 🙂
If we hang a Mission Accomplished sign somewhere, would he go home? It’s worth a shot.
Looking forward to hiring them and welcoming them to my neighborhood.
A U.S. official said that directions at ICE were coming from Mr. Lewandowski and that nothing got done at the agency without his blessing. At times, this person said, Mr. Lewandowski yelled at ICE leaders as the pressure to meet Mr. Trump’s mass deportation goals increased last year
Not just Stephen Miller.
