With the uptick in ICE activity & the resulting surge in whistle requests (get 100-3k free at 3dwhistles.com), I'm reminding folks that you can support the printing of whistles by giving $20 to @protopasta.bsky.social, who in turn sends DEEPLY DISCOUNTED filament to our printers!

I asked both of Minnesota's Senate candidates -- Dem Peggy Flanagan and GOPer Michele Tafoya -- for any comment on the Trump admin raiding Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home today. Got a statement from Flanagan. Nada from Tafoya, so far.

Why all the scare quotes?

Rep. Ilhan Omar said she will "not be silenced" and called the search of her home the "latest escalation" in President Donald Trump's "intimidation" campaign. https://to.pbs.org/3TP0gqH

"Political witch hunt" doesn't even begin to cover what's happening to @ilhanmn.bsky.social. I don't know if there are any adequate catch-all terms when misogyny, violence, and racism are so integral to the mix.

Just thinking about this as the state harasses Ilhan Omar over 40 year old paperwork.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

In a twisted authoritarian spectacle, federal agents raided Ilhan Omar's home this morning. Trump has made no secret of his disdain for the Congresswoman – frequently using racist, tyrannical drivel to express an unhinged desire to expel her from the country.

The Administration's raid on Representative Omar's home is an outrageous escalation in the President's continued weaponization of our government. Searching a representative's home over a decades-old immigration filing by her father is an abuse of power. No family deserves these continued attacks.

The raid on Rep. Omar is a FIVE ALARM FIRE. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to go after an opposition leader and escalate his viciously racist campaign against Somali Americans. We stand with Ilhan.

If there’s evidence of fraud or other financial crimes, let’s see it. But trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting member of Congress over mistakes a parent allegedly made on immigration forms when she was a child is immoral and reprehensible. We can’t stand for it.

No president should be weaponize the federal government against his enemies. Although Ilhan is not a DSA-endorsed candidate, she has fought for working people, supports Medicare for All, and called to abolish ICE. She has our back, and we have hers. Join us at 4PM today at Powderhorn Park!

I would like at least ONE of them to stand up for her, if for no other reason than to see if there would be a domino effect or not. They have to know that many of them are going to get crushed in 3 weeks. Why wait to start your redemption tour? Do something when it still matters!

Everything about the raid on Rep. Omar’s residence is shameful. Everyone involved should lose their jobs. For a start.

Of all the impeachable things Donald has done—and the list is extensive—this extreme abuse of power is the *most* impeachable.

So executing a valid search warrant to recover stolen classified documents at Mar-a-Lago is an “illegal, partisan witch hunt” Yet when a racist president who tried to incite a race war against Somalis and called Ilhan Omar “garbage” has DOJ raid her home for this sham, it’s supposedly acceptable

I am pretty sure the Epstein files were not in Ilhan Omar's DC apartment. Maybe they could get some priorities?

Donald Trump is weaponizing the federal government to intimidate citizens, but he can’t take away our voices. We stand with Congresswoman Omar. Voting between now and November 3rd is the most important action we can take to stand strong together.
