"Republicans’ veneration of the Founders is particularly rich at the moment because, of all the abuses England heaped on the colonies, nothing angered them more than the Crown’s deployment of soldiers on city streets — and the streets of Boston in particular."

Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

Some immigrants in Minneapolis have said they're scared to go out because of ICE agents across the city. When one 12-year-old needed to run an errand, it triggered a network of underground volunteers. n.pr/4pT6Ia8

Bovino is the scapegoat for Trump's intentional reign of terror in Minnesota, but as long as Stephen Miller is in the White House, this is just window dressing. Dems must go on offense!

CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.
