“BREAK THE WHEEL is a compelling tale of standing up for George Floyd. Keith Ellison has produced an engaging, anecdote-laden account that leaves the reader with an increased respect for his pursuit of justice and life in the law.” — Ben Crump.
Read research by political scientists Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan which indicate that peaceful protests are most effective.
Why continue to protest peacefully?
"The machinery he’s building now—the raids, the checkpoints, the databases, the normalized presence of militarized officers in our streets—does not get put back in the box. It becomes the new normal."

This order further protects Minnesotans from Trump’s devastating and unlawful cuts to childcare services. This is a tremendous relief and protects low-income families from having to choose between going to work to pay the bills and staying home to provide childcare.

I spoke with local business leaders about how Operation Metro Surge is affecting their workers, their families, and their futures. The impacts will be felt for generations. This must end.

Great turnout at the Washburn High School DFL caucus meeting. This is how people — not fear or money — shape what our party fights for.

This moment calls for participation, not disengagement. Authoritarian politics depend on people feeling isolated and powerless.
Tonight at South High, caucus-goers showed they’re pushing back against fear and division — organizing, setting priorities, and building power locally.

First stop: My neighborhood DFL caucus meeting at North High.
Caucuses are a place where everyday folks help decide what political parties stand for and who carries those values forward. Grateful to all those who showed up tonight to participate in democracy.

I’m grateful to Judge Biery for helping to bring Liam Ramos and his father Adrian home.
But it is a sign of how far we are from the normal rule of law that a judge even had to issue a decision like this one.

Authoritarianism grows when people are pushed out of the process and told their voices don’t matter.
Caucuses are one way we push back. They’re where neighbors come together, organize, and decide the future of our party and our state.

Talk about a split-screen moment.
Minnesotans are standing in the 9 below weather peacefully protesting for our very democracy. Trump is in a tuxedo, going to a ball, rolling around in luxury.
You tell me who the patriots are here.

Ellison on Trump: "That sounds like a petty child who will not tolerate any challenge to his massive and highly delicate ego. As he's wearing his fancy tuxedo going to whatever fancy ball he's going to, Minnesotans are standing in the 9 below weather fighting for our very democracy and lives."

I’m inspired by the stories of those who knew Alex and all who gathered last night at the vigil hosted by his union siblings with AFGE. I’ll carry his spirit forward by fighting for justice, compassion, and the world he believed in.
