These are the actions of an authoritarian state. Instead of investigating the agent who killed Alex Pretti, Trump's DHS conducted sweeping surveillance of Minnesota organizations that were peacefully standing up to this Administration's lawlessness. Despicable.

#OnThisDay June 19 1954: TCRT CEO Fred Ossanna receives his payout in front of a burning streetcar in an event staged to celebrate the changeover from electric rail to GM buses. Ossanna was later convicted of fraud in the deal, but by then the venerable 500-mile-long system was gone.
Iconic photo of Twin Cities Rapid Transit treasurer James Towey presenting a check to company president Fred Ossanna while a streetcar burns in the background, symoblizing the transition to buses. The event marked the final end of the famous Twin Cities streetcar system. Hennepin County Library Digital Collections.
