We’re sick of ICE terrorizing our neighbors. Sick of it. Like the brave people of Minneapolis, we have zero tolerance for federal agents lawlessly unleashing violence on our streets.

I wrote back in the first week of January that this would be "the century-long year," and I regret to inform you that the mayhem will likely be even worse this month. So buckle up to get through it, and let's make sure these are the death throes of Trumpism and everything it stands for.

Troy Jackson: "The gentleman's name was Johan Sebastian Guerrero. He had a 3 year old daughter. The only mistake he made that morning was going to work. Because Sen. Collins is not willing to stand up to Donald Trump, he was murdered in the streets of Biddeford for doing nothing wrong."

Again, there is clear evidence a data center moratorium would peel far more votes away from the GOP than the 10-15 (not thousand, literally 10-15 total) who might switch over this same crowd’s demand to betray queer people. It’s malpractice that the party won’t ditch these professional losers.

Guy just testified to the BET that the park board's 2027 budget request (which the mayor has cut short by $3 million) is less in percent terms than what streaming services are putting to their customers. I want to ask what analogy he would use for MPD eating all of our money.

Every time we hear "The homeless people didn't use the resources we offered," the next questions should be "What specific resources did you offer? Were they actually meant to be helpful to people you claim to want to help? Did you offer actual shelter? Did it accommodate couples? Pets? Wet or dry?"

It was a battle and Minnesota won.
The biggest lesson that we can learn from Minnesota is that we can win. I had started to lose hope back in October. We in the United States seemed far from being able to play the incredibly important role that the labor movement has in almost every other country that has successfully prevented authoritarian consolidation in the last fifty years. But I believe that in January, we saw the power of a community standing up. This wasn't in the history books about the 1960s or the 1930s. This wasn't in newspaper articles about Argentina or France. This was right here in the Upper Midwest.
To see the community move with so much power and unity is really inspiring.
