Trump attacks blue states, including Minnesota, to withhold/steal federal funding, our tax dollars. Trump and the GOP use the same talking points everywhere, all they do is run it through localized spellcheck. Call your reps to act. www.minnpost.com/community-vo... www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

Hard data and context are missing in Minnesota's overblown fraud furor
Trump's claims that this state is an outlier when it comes to fraud don't hold up, and the politicized attacks must not go unchallenged.

All adults and some children on ICE flights—some 50 flights a day now—are shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a chain around their waists. I have spoken to migrants and their attorneys who report being shackled for 50, 75, and 82 hours while being deported. Flight data backs this up.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem ideal that we're going to have to create a network to smuggle drawings and letters our of our national network of punitive detention camps and keep them anonymous so that the authorities can't retaliate against children.
