Again the leader we could have had.
Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Way-hey! After concerted local pushback, New Jersey company decides not to contract with ICE:
"The contract with ICE will not move forward, a Holman spokesperson told Patch.
"I have been informed that we declined that particular body of work," the spokesperson said...

Makes sense to me! I’ll pick an undocumented immigrant as a neighbor over a poorly trained ICE agent any day. ICE agents seem to believe they are licensed to kill, sort of like James Bond but they shouldn’t even be allowed to carry a gun!

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

GOP Chris Madel drops from Gov race due to ICE
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

REV. SCHENCK: “I’m making up for the errors of my past— I spent 35 years as an activist for the religious right doing a lot of damage, inflicting suffering, contradicting the message I thought I was promoting.”
He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it.
Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.
