Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

YES! This!
Minnesota should demand Greg Bovino's teeny tiny CBP vest and helmet and put it in the Historical Society next to the 28th Virginia's Confederate Battle Flag we also rightly own.

"Listen, we have killed and terrorized a LOT of Minnesotans in our time, so we speak from a place of authority when we say -- y'all are fucking outta control"
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

I think this sums up the community in Minneapolis pretty well right now.
Fuck ICE.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I just got back to Minneapolis last night after being out of town for a week. Damn, the vibe here changed a lot in a few days! I hope y'all are taking good care of yourself and your loved ones. The streets may be scary, but you've got to take a break somewhere you feel safe, when you can.

OMG! Bob Weir died! I've always felt such an affinity for him. I'd say that it's sad, but it's not. And I don't think he'd think it was sad either. Thanks for the music, my dude.

Although I'd prefer to never have to do it again, nothing warms my heart more than a good protest in Minneapolis. Y'all are just the kindest, most friendly and warm group of people I could ever hope to call neighbors. Love you all.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
