It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

Good God. This should be published far and wide. And please call your representatives today.
The world-cracking insanity of Trump unconstrained—with no "adult in the room" to push back, with no Republican possessing spine sturdy enough to stand up to him, with many Democratic leaders unwilling to admit the peril, with Wormtongues like Stephen Miller affirming his every base impulse.
