Oprah Winfrey asked Prince why he lived in Minnesota.
He said, “It’s so cold that it keeps the bad people out!” Well, obviously he had no idea bad ICE gangsters would bust in uninvited!
The world has seen a community servant helping many worthy causes, Renee Nicole Good, shot down by an ICE agent sent to Prince’s city.
They weren’t welcome but sent there by a man who refuses to accept laws. Trump sent ICE to Minnesota because Gov. Tim Walz was Kamala Harris’ running mate.
Many white people, too many Hispanics, unenlightened Black men, and too many white women voted for Trump.
As usual, they preferred to vote white over voting right.
The rest of us are paying for their sins. As we often say in the Black community, “I’m So Glad Trouble Don’t Last Always!” It’s been one heck of a ride for many of us, including some of the MAGA people who now admit they were wrong. Even Marjorie T. Greene got religion, and a whole bunch of people in her party decided there’s no need for them to run in the next election.
While most of us who are suffering through this Republican takeover that was going to bring us better things by erasing Obamacare (as the healthcare was known) while the other party keeps promising something better—but never produces anything, but a concept.
Many of us are following in the footsteps of our beloved and brave ancestors. “We ain’t gonna let nobody turn us around.” They suffered too much for us to stand by doing nothing. Others behind them did the same thing. We’ve been on this path to racial justice for too long to give up now.
This group Trump has brought together is not just harming Black people. If you’ve been watching the response by Minnesotans to the injustices they are facing, Minnesotans are ready to say with us, “Enough is Enough” and they don’t plan to back down from the Trump/Vance/Rubio/Hegseth Mafia, and other gangsters surrounding them.
People all over the world saw how Ms. Good was murdered by ICE. It’s time for more white people to speak up, too, because Trump doesn’t even care about many of them. They must begin standing up for what is right for all of us. In addition to Americans, Trump is brutalizing people in other nations, and some of our leaders say nothing. Trump decided it was his job to kidnap the President of Venezuela, take their oil and threaten other nations for various unlawful reasons.
He’s now threatening the people of Colombia regarding drugs when Trump recently pardoned one of their former presidents who allegedly was dealing in drugs. Well, Trump just pardoned him.
I don’t know for sure, but those with more knowledge on the matter than I have said something is not right about the way Trump has been sucking up to Russia’s dictator while stringing along Ukraine’s democratically elected President who gets little to no help.

First, why are the vetting and training for ICE so lacked? From what I see, most recruits are thin skinned. With all the funding ICE has received, why are they (ICE) not wearing body cams? Regular law enforcement is required to, so the public knows what really happened. What makes ICE above law enforcement, that they (ICE) are immune and do not need search warrants? (regular law enforcement do). America is looking and becoming a modern day Nazi Germany.
