Minnesota’s loon doesn’t flee when threatened, it calls to claim its place. Right now, Minnesota is sounding that same warning... staying alert, protecting neighbors, and refusing to be pushed off the shoreline.

Today is February 26, 2026, here’s what happened yesterday in Minnesota:

It is. It really is. We unfortunately may have to wait until the Trumplethinskin Regime has come to an end. Then hopefully we get the Nuremberg-style trials so we get the justice we so badly need 😔😢

The American government has gone completely rogue and should be considered armed and dangerous to the entire American population.

This is NOT normal, not acceptable, and most importantly, it's NOT LAWFUL.

TEST ME, TRY, SEE IF IM STEERING YOU WRONG.

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles.
Absolutely vile.

It’s time to arrest ICE agents who are violent and out of control.

- they told them to move
- "something happened'
- ICE shot into the car as it was driving away

I’m aware of the reports of an ICE related shooting in Minneapolis and working as hard as I can to get answers. I’ll share any updates as I learn more.

To clear up any confusion: HealthPartners is an insurance company but in Minnesota- especially in the Twin Cities area it is also a health care provider of one major trauma center, a several hospitals and a multitude of clinics and specialty centers.

Btw, a not-for-profit - just means they have to put profits back into the company (non-profit is a charity). They put some of that 💰 into the big-wigs’ pockets 🤷‍♀️. Andrea fights hard against any wage increases. Happy to let experienced people leave 4 younger, less paid workforce. Good for patients???

Lol! Why? UnitedHealthcare HQ is here too 😐 HP used to be an awesome company to work for until Andrea took over. Morale has gone to shit. I spoke to the local SEIU president and he said when he started 10 yrs ago they’d have maybe 4-6 grievances at a time, rn they have nearly 70 contract violations

I agree, in theory. HealthPartners is not-for-profit, yet their CEO is paid millions, she fights the unions (they fight valiantly against her -so far) yet in April they dumped 1000s of disabled from the Minnesota Medicaid program b/c of profitability. HP is now all about profit less 4 care.

US ‘illegally deported’ Vietnamese and Burmese migrants to South Sudan Immigrant rights advocates say White House violated court order and ask judge to order nearly a dozen people’s return

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including:

•Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive
•America’s supply chain isn’t ready
•Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs
•Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

Makes me kinda sick thinking we HAD that. We. Had. That. Took it for granted because we were supposed to take it for granted. But I’m nauseated because of what we face now. And my T voting family talk of Obama and Biden as if they are the evil ones that T was the salvation for. 🤢. We must win again
