“What we’ve been watching in MN is proof that racist ideas lead to racist policies – and those policies produce bad, dangerous governance that affects everyone. Grievance governance does not stay confined to its targets; it corrodes the state itself. Hatred cannot govern a country effectively.”

Comer on Fox right now urging Trump to pull ICE out of Minneapolis to *punish* Minnesotans — will prove to the state how good it was to have ICE there! This is really some 5-D chess

Minneapolis was a peaceful sleepy city come January 2026. With a frozen winter landscape, we hoped for fresh snow for skiing, shoeing, snow sculptures. This morning my own urban street is calm—however a vigil at 26th & Nicollet on dear Eat Street marks the site of a Federal murder. #ICEout

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal
