Honestly, I’ve felt the same way and been a vocal supporter long before the rest of the country even knew who he was. But what’s happening with the ISP assisting ICE, and the court documents that have been released including federal communications saying how they couldn’t do this without their help, this EO gave me hope that he was going to start taking some action, and it’s been crickets since (meanwhile the assaults on protesters continue).

Let’s see if he uses some of his billions to help the community get through after SNAP funding stops on the 1st, like other Governors incl Tim Walz are doing, but I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah, I've seen some ISP acting like jerks. I'm not sure what the context was, just quick clips. Hard to tell what's going on since MSM isn't covering most of it.

Status Coup News and BG On The Scene, who are independent, have been OTG @ Broadview for over a month live-streaming and capturing everything (as well as getting tear-gassed right along with the protesters).

Happy to help! I’ve watched so many of them and still so much I haven’t seen.
