Regardless of what happens next I think that MN is going to be the rallying cry and the example that a lot of Americans, including myself, want to emulate and live up to not only in pushing back against tyranny but also in its community and acceptance of multiculturalism.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

The Trump admin has pushed Bovino out of the Minneapolis operation, given how much he's made things worse. The person who killed Alex Pretti was a Border Patrol agent.
Notably, the admin has NOT backed down from the operation in general. Large-scale arrests reportedly continue.
