I made a promise to Alexโ€™s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But itโ€™s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

This Focus Group Should Absolutely Terrify Trump They voted for Biden in 2020 and Trump in 2024. And they arenโ€™t happy with what theyโ€™re seeing, especially in Minneapolis.

The president has lost his grip on his winning electoral coalition, whose members increasingly feel as if heโ€™s betrayed them and brought the country to a state of chaos. @samsteindc.bsky.social

Lying to the American people is the only option for the administration when we can, once again, all see what happened with our own eyes.

Trump Gets Worse, But the Blowback Intensifies The authoritarian pushback is growing.

Trump is getting loonier, more dangerous, and more violent, underscoring Republican paralysis and cowardice. But as he decomposes, he winds up emboldening the public backlash, which, in the end, is what will stand between Trump and totalitarian control. @jenrubin.bsky.social @contrariannews.org

This IS VERY America; those who says it's not are lying to themselves or to you (probably both) I'm tired of people pretending America is what we want it to be. That will take hard work and a clear-eyed understanding of our past and present, and a strong plan for the future of America.

No it wonโ€™t. Itโ€™s not a mystery now. We just donโ€™t want to admit it. And weโ€™re stuck here until we do.

Nothing that is happening now is newโ€ฆitโ€™s just more visible to White people. Our history of letting haters and extremists and administrations continue without accountability leads us straight to this moment. @freedomoverfascism.bsky.social

Itโ€™s The Cynicism It seems to be everywhere you look, across the political spectrum.

Instead of succumbing to cynicism, letโ€™s stay focused on what we can do, even the small things. Weโ€™ve come too far in the last year to accept Trumpโ€™s success as inevitable. There is so much that we can do. What we canโ€™t afford to do is to let a man who thinks of no one but himself win.
