Sorry that I wasnโ€™t clear. I was able to find this article and was going to try to see whether or not you had also written about this. Your article of a year ago was super educating. (The Plot Against America). bylinetimes.com/2026/02/03/i...

Sounds like itโ€™s already happening:

Tendermaid in Austin, Minnesota. Best loose meat steamed hamburgers (with cheese!) on a soft melt-in-your mouth bun paired w/the top ultimate milk shake - established since the 1950โ€™s. 
Not kidding. Just has soda shop stools around the counter to sit.Otherwise, itโ€™s outside on the picnic tables in nice weather.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a โ€œlarge deportationโ€ promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. Itโ€™s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Yes, Miller must also go with Noem. We need to really pound that in. We know that Noem is not exactly the mastermind behind all of this, right? Then maybe the other dominoes will also fall, hopefully.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

ICE watchers in Maine say they were threatened by federal agents Community members have been monitoring the activity of immigration agents in Greater Portland.

Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

So, this is good, yes(?) Does this actually move the needle for you and give us more hope today? If so, then it gives me more hope, too.

We need clarity about these subtle press releases from CEOs. What is your honest take? Iโ€™m only asking because we need more guidance - like who we can trust(?)

This photo crushed me today. Yesterday, the viral video of him that pushed me over the edge: It perfectly encapsulated what I was feeling - the anger, the devastating fact that our government is doing this to us, those of us nearing his age that cannot believe our eyes, but we cannot now look away.
