Of course Donald thinks he’s entitled to Greenland—he told the entire world he grabbed women’s vaginas without their permission and then y’all elected him president. Why would consent matter now?

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

I think it’s basically time to retire the peace prize because it really is meaningless at this point. Another 100+ year-old tradition cheapened, wrecked, and discredited by the gauche garish gangster.

ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then arrest workers
Federal agents detained three workers from a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Willmar yesterday, hours after four agents ate lunch there.

It was not immediately clear what the immigration status of those detained was, or whether the people detained included the restaurant’s owners or only workers.

An eyewitness who declined to give a name for fear of retribution, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that four ICE agents sat in a booth for a meal at El Tapatio a little before 3 p.m. Staff at the restaurant were frightened, said the eyewitness, who shared pictures from the restaurant as well as video of the arrest.

The arrest happened around 8:30 p.m. near a Lutheran church and Willmar Middle School as agents followed the workers after they closed up for the night. A handful of bystanders blew whistles and shouted at agents as they detained the people. “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

“We shouldn’t want to be ranked high on this list.” boltsmag.org/utah-legisla...
The top 10 on The Heritage Foundation’s list are all red states that, in various ways and to various degrees, make voting much more difficult than Utah does, and generally have created high disparities in participation by race and by economic status. The top-ranked state on the list, Tennessee, has some of the nation’s harshest rules toward people with past criminal convictions, disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of would-be voters for life and blocking about one in five Black adults from voting. Its voter turnout rates are consistently among the lowest in the country.

“We shouldn’t want to be ranked high on this list,” Menlove said. “Nothing on the list shows whether your elections are secure; it’s all about whether you make it hard to vote.”

Bolts asked Utah's lawmaker who sponsored the bill ending universal mail voting why he filed it. His reason? The Heritage Foundation, the architects of Project 2025. He said Utah ranks low on Heritage's scorecard, & restricting mail voting would help. They're not just reshaping federal policy.
