"If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it “neighborism”—a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldn’t be more extreme."

Please stop talking about party lines! Faith in the Party, whether Dem or Rep is why you’re in this mess.
AOC: "What we are seeing is an administration that's deeply afraid of its own unpopularity. We must remember that we outnumber them. Donald Trump is less popular than he has ever been before. The GOP is on its back heels."
