Republican Rep. Kean voted against 40 hours of paid medical leave for workers, then took 4 months paid leave himself.

If you steal a paint chip it's 10 years in prison but take what you want from our Capitol, that's worth a pardon.

Since the @WhiteHouse and @POTUS is mad about this, please don’t retweet or share

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

These are fine, but meant to convince you he’s not getting paid. He is still.

And congress gets paid once a month. They probably just got their checks so it will be one month till they could possibly miss a pay date.

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

ICE bounty hunters disguised as "plumbers" assault legal observers—point handgun at point blank range.

Driver leans out van door to point gun at woman's head—attempts to pull trigger 3 times.

Then runs over bystander with van speeding away.

"I'm going to get every one of you with my pepper ball gun," another socalled agent yells out—before firing multiple shots.

The van had a sign for "Midwest Plumbers" painted on the side—the phone number listed is not in service.

The incident occurred in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I’m writing this from Minnesota.

These are just a few things that may not be making the national or international news.

a beloved local donut shop Glam Doll Donuts across the street from where Alex Pretti died turned into a warming house and medic center for protestors building and maintaining the memorial site.

a 70yo independent bookstore owner DreamHaven Books down the street expressed his pain on camera, walked through a tear gas cloud, and his website crashed less than 24 hours later from too much business and donations.

the day after tear gas bombs destroyed a N-Mpls neighborhood sending a 6mo old baby to the hospital, at daybreak, a small church community cleaned up the mess of pepper balls, tear gas containers and trash so the neighbors didn’t have to wake up to the memories.

a local independent journalist Mercado Media pounding the streets everyday reporting things from the ground had a testicle removed and showed up two days later to walk with 75,000+ community members to walk the streets in -20 degree weather.

a local sex-positive adult-store The Smitten Kitten has completely transformed into a donation and distribution center.

a local pizza place Wrecktangle Pizza raised over $83K in less than a few days to support families that are sheltering in place.

tow-truck companies are donating their services to clean up the accidents and abandoned vehicles left by ICE and the city is waiving impound fees.

local multi-faith spiritual leaders are spearheading sit-ins at corporate headquarters such as Target and USBank to have deeper conversations with CEOs and boards of directors about community relief.

social workers are taking in children who came home from school with both their parents “disappeared.”

animal shelters and pet-fostering agencies are rescuing pets left alone for days or weeks after their humans were detained.

every restaurant, church, karate dojo, dance studio, school, barber shop, and other small business has created their own underground grassroots supportive network to protect their neighbors, get people to and from work, and raise funds to pay everyday bills.

women who are moms and work full-time jobs are donning reflective vests in shifts to stand watch at bus stops, city parks, and grocery store parking lots ini sub-zero temps to bear witness before going home to tuck their babies in at night.

the MN National Guard offered donuts, coffee, and hot cocoa to peaceful protesters the day after Alex Pretti died, reminding community that we are all in this together and they are here to keep the peace.

These are just a few examples. Stories like this are happening in the hundreds here, every single day!

Community is EVERYTHING!

This Substack community and the MN-Strong resistance has saved my mental health these last weeks.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for giving a shit.

I love you.

Tim Cook saw the video of Alex Pretti getting murdered by Trump’s goons then put on a tuxedo and went to the White House to toast Melania. Revolting.

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

The 2nd amendment fetishists who brought you Kyle Rittenhouse and January 6th think Alex Pretti's legal gun was the problem? Are you f**king kidding?

[Pat Trebe @ptrebe]

@VikingNation28 Bears fan here. Daughter who lives in Minnesota. I’m now one of your followers.

[Pat Trebe @ptrebe]

Why? Why did these 7 democrats vote for chaos and fascism? They could have helped stop this madness.

[Protect Kamala Harris ✊ @DisavowTrump20]

This is Alex Pretti, a registered nurse and the man murdered by ICE today in Minneapolis protecting a fellow citizen from Trump’s thugs.

RETWEET to honor his life 💔

[Pat Trebe @ptrebe]

@maddow @CNN How is this normal behavior now? Please share so the world can see the menace Trump and his ilk have created.

[Pat Trebe @ptrebe]
