During the #ICE surge, Lisa #Demuth signed a letter thanking ICE and praising Kristi #Noem for her "steady leadership." #Minneapolis, #Minnesota. #BePretti #BeGood #AbolishICE RT with Alttext ✍️📷

there are steps we can take at the state level to support your mission, improve coordination, or push back against political interference, please consider our caucus an ally in that work. Law enforcement should never find themselves at the center of a political tug of war. The people of Minnesota are looking to State and Federal leaders who prioritize the safety of our communities over tiresome political grandstanding.

Thank you, Secretary Noem, for your steady leadership and for standing behind the men and women who protect our nation. Please extend our gratitude to the ICE agents serving in Minnesota and across the country. We stand with them.
Sincerely,
Benki

State Representative, District 6A

Yes. I think the consensus among US elite pundits and senior politicians that the way to protect liberal democracy is *not* to punish elite figures who violate its rules is wrong. A norm starting at least with the Watergate pardon. The opposite is true. You need to enforce the law and Constitution.

Funding for our parks and the very financial foundation of Minneapolis are jeopardized because police spending is out of control. To avoid a reduction in our credit rating and future park service reductions the Mayor and City Council must take action to rein in spending. Please read and share.

Fun fact — and reminder: For all their focus on “officer safety” and arguments about aggressive tactics being necessary, no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty. It is more deadly in the US to be an elementary school student than an ICE officer.

It’s just malpractice if the Strib doesn’t do a real examination of what a Republican Attorney General would mean, instead of centering all of its coverage on DFL vulnerabilities. www.startribune.com/minnesota-at...

Keith Ellison wants to run on fighting Trump. Republicans want to make it about fraud.

Republican Ron Schutz is betting Ellison’s vulnerabilities can flip an attorney general’s race expected to be among Minnesota’s closest this fall.

Minnesota is fighting to protect our natural resources which are under attack from the Trump administration. So when the fossil fuel industry is spending millions of dollars on a senate race, you should ask what is they hope to get by buying this seat.

I know people are tired of hearing so much about who is funding candidates and I get it, but when PACs are pouring millions and millions of dollars into a democratic primary, you have to ask “who is trying to buy a senate seat and why do they believe *this* candidate will carry out their agenda?”
