It’s not just in the twin cities area. This is happening an hour and a half south of the cities as well. our neighbors are just being picked up and driven away. It’s the whole state, it’s just harder to track because we’re not as densely populated out here. Which means fewer observers around.

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen
*Everyone has stories like this*

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration.

To a supremacist society, Charlie Kirk matters. To varying degrees, most of the rest of us don't matter. Or at least our humanity is left up for debate among people like Charlie Kirk—which I'm told by Ezra Klein is doing politics exactly—EXACTLY—the right way.

Ezra Klein went beyond opposing political violence to extol Charlie Kirk for doing politics "exactly the right way," making up a fictional version of Kirk to praise.
That distortion, with its indulgence of bad faith, is a perfect illustration of the larger media failure that helps Trump.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
