Recap of this week in the revolution: ICE is not welcome in Minnesota, nor in the United States. The Trump regime still refuses to release the Epstein Files in violation of the law. ICE-stapo murders another in the streets. Trump's dementia is getting worse.

The good...

Message from Minnesota: ICE not welcome here [Link]

50,000 people gather outdoors in -10°F weather to let the Trump regime know their ICE-stapo is not welcome on American soil

On January 23, temperatures in Minneapolis dropped to -10°F with wind chills reaching -20°F. Under normal circumstances, most people in the area would stay indoors, trying to keep warm. But these are not normal circumstances, and tens of thousands of Minnesotans filled the streets to protest the Trump regime's reign of terror and to demand the ICE-stapo agents who are threatening their very lives leave their state for good.

We will not rest until ICE is abolished and every one of these vile thugs are prosecuted for their crimes.

"God"

The bad...

More than a month after the deadline to release the Epstein Files has passed and less than 1% have been released [Link]

On November 19, Congress passed a law called the "Epstein Files Transparency Act" that ordered the Attorney General to "make publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice" that relate to Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days. That deadline came and went on December 19th. This week marked the passage of a full month since that deadline.

So, has the Trump regime obeyed the law passed by Congress and signed by Donny 2-Dolls?

No. Less than 1% of the files have been released to date, and the few files that were released since the passage of the law are mostly documents that have already been released to the public previously. Despite going to war with Venezuela, threatening to take Greenland by force from our own NATO ally, and sending thousands of armed thugs into Democratic cities to terrorize and murder United States citizens right here at home, the Trump regime just can't seem to make people forget about the Epstein Files.

This is a major issue for the Trump regime because Donny 2-Dolls ran on campaign promises to release the Epstein Files, and some of his sycophants have become slightly less ardent in their support of the Trump regime as he's continually refused to keep that promise.

What can be done to force the Trump regime to obey the laws it has passed? There's not much that can make an immediate difference, but steady and ongoing legal pressure to force the regime to provide legal justification for its refusal to comply with the law and ongoing public pressure can eventually force the regime's hand. But it won't happen any time soon, and it won't be easy.

The ugly...

ICE-stapo continues its murderous rampage [Link]

ICE-stapo agents gunned down another man on the streets of Minnesota on Saturday. Details are sketchy at the time of this writing, but video shows agents wrestling a man to the ground, repeatedly striking him on the head, and then shooting him dead. The man has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse at a Minneapolis VA hospital. As with the killing of Renee Good, federal agents and the Department of Homeland Security have blatantly lied about the events, despite the fact that both shootings were captured on camera.

The killing is part of the largest immigration enforcement operation in the history of this country, but had nothing to do with immigration enforcement at all. Federal agents were not engaged in any specific immigration enforcement operations at the time, but were swarming the streets to square off against protesters in the hopes of instilling fear into the local community. This is a terrorist tactic aimed at intimidating people into accepting the Trump regime's refusal to follow the law or respect the Constitution.

There is no place in this country for an organization like ICE, and there is no place in this country for the authoritarian Trump regime.

Immigration agents are being instructed by Trump officials to violate the constitution. The Fourth Amendment provides protections against unreasonable search and seizures. But ICE agents have been told those constitutional constraints do not apply. A whistleblower revealed a secret ICE memo saying they do not need a judicial warrant to forcibly break into a home.

Keeping you informed...

Trump's dementia is getting worse [Link]

Donny 2-Dolls has never been smart. His rambling, incoherent rants have become so common in his two terms as President that nobody really talks about them anymore. While his messages continue to reflect his stupidity, recent messages also point to something far worse. The president of the United States is in very serious (and obvious) cognitive decline. In one of his recent ramblings, he sent a letter to the Prime Minister of Norway threatening to take Greenland (A territory of Denmark) by military force because he wasn't awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (which is not awarded by the Norwegian government anyway, but by an independent committee).

Ty Cobb, a former White House lawyer in Trump's first term, recently commented, "I don't think there's anybody outside of the United States who believes that Trump is sane." Cobb pointed out that Trump's signs of dementia and cognitive decline are "palpable."

This has led many people to call for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, which allows the vice president to assume the powers and duties of the president if the president is unable to discharge the duties of the office. Since J.D. Vance is nothing more than a Trump regime bootlicker, it's unlikely that any of the disasters Donny 2-Dolls has brought down on this country would be averted, but at the very least, we would no longer be led by a mentally unstable narcissist.

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a 'right of ownership' anyway? There are no written documents, it's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT
