Minnesota needs to start a buddy program where local folks help train folks in other states on what they did

These two assholes are having a conversation like things are just totally normal with ICE and all we need is to have some administrative recommendations on improved training and standard operating procedures. β€œHow can we fix the Gestapo” is a ridiculous tack. ICE must be abolished.

I buy Wegovy right now for $199, without insurance - so, old news and not because of Trump

CBP has been turned into an enemy to the US constitution, law, and basic humanity.

I signed as an alumnus but even if you did not attend BYU consider signing if any of your donations ultimately support the school.

I signed, as a BYU alum and former staff member and a Minnesotan currently living under siege. This is disgusting and tone deaf and a low bar even for an institution in which I thought I had already lost all faith. They allow this because they agree with the narrative. The apostles are on the board.

Hey, everybody! As an alumnus & former contingent faculty of BYU, I signed this statement of concern regarding BYU hosting CBPβ€”an agency that openly flouts the US Constitution & the rule of lawβ€”at their career fair tomorrow.

Curtis is a different kind of Mike Lee - polite, conciliatory, but supports MAGA and Trump through and through

I thought so exactly. And to be fair to the DN, in Tuesday's DN, they did include an article about Pretti. (with an expected DN tone)

I would love the LDS church to take a more proactive (or frankly any) role in fighting mass deportation. This is the gospel I was taught

Above my pay grade, just confused why they are silent/muted (both at the DN and at the capital C church).

For me, its a missed opportunity to teach important moral and gospel centric messages

I think the Church should do more to highlight the immorality of his policies (light criticism). They seem timid. Yet, at least from my perspective, MAGA seems immoral and anti-constitutional - and opposite from what I think the Church believes.

Both - I'm genuinely confused why so many LDS members support Trump and his policies. I think a church owned (but not managed) newspaper, which I support highlighting the moral issues of gambling, ought to help member understand the immoral actions of ICE in Minnesota

- Front page - birthright citizenship and sport betting all national moral issues
- Often talks constitutional issues
- ICE killing and government lies are moral and constitutional
- Nothing on large anti-ICE protest in SLC
- DN leaders appointed by the Church
- Wondering why
