I lived in Mpls for decades and Univ of Minn is where I received my undergraduate degree.
So hard to believe what is happened in my beloved city.

Minneapolis Nurse: "I feel like in Minneapolis I'm a sitting duck. I don't feel safe at home. I don't feel safe at work. Kids aren't safe at school. I was born in Minneapolis and I'm scared out of my mind because I'm not white." (January 15, 2026)

8. That's what they want. People to be afraid and avoid being seen, not call the police. Not complain.

Trump has been ordering more foreign workers for his businesses. He is offering lower wages. He's also lowering the minimum wage to be paid to foreign agricultural and meat processing workers.
