This is the moment two Drive-up workers were arrested by Customs and Border Protection agents at the Target store in Richfield on Thursday.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

IF YOU’RE OBSERVING: do not use the same car that you use for things like delivering groceries. This is good mutual aid practice. ICE will track license plates and addresses.

I think it’s a bit more complicated, mostly no one was too excited about a third Walz term (no governor has ever won a third term), which left him vulnerable to these types of attacks. I also think that between the VP campaign and the assassination of Melissa Hortman, he might be pretty burnt out.

I keep seeing various versions of this take and it’s just… like… not really, man? Maybe there’s some truth to it in a broad zeitgeist-y sense I guess, but I’m not so sure that’s what’s really going on here. But what do I know? I just live here.
So Trump successfully bullied a good man and his family. Because winning over Harris Walz wasn’t enough. Trump wanted to destroy him.
Walz is making the right decision for his family. But the success of Trump’s grotesque bullying campaign is yet another frightening step in our national descent.
