I am so impressed with Representative Khanna. He’s actions match his words. His communication style is so succinct and consistent. He repeats over and over again what he stands for and he’s always in a suit and tie :). He means business!

LIES

Walz & Frey have repeatedly called for peaceful protests. They have stood with the chiefs of their respective law enforcement agencies while making public appearances.

I hope they don’t use the words hijacked by MAGA such as “ defund” OR “abolish” when describing the elimination of ICE. Minnesota learned that lesson during George Floyd. Vocabulary matters.

So many red flags about what was to come. I think about the puppy often.

“You cannot change the conditions of modern life, but you are the sovereign of what enters your personal space. Physical distance creates psychological distance: Draw close what you want more of; push away what you want less.”

U.S. citizen detained by ICE:

“…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

A failure of memory: Hepburn and Tracy ("Keeper of the Flame," 1942) This is a prescient treatment of fascism and the idea that the public will happily embrace authoritarianism if it's delivered by someone they admire. That this feels relevant in 2026 is not a coincidence!

Minnesota and Illinois Sue Trump Administration Over ICE Deployments

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

A key way to help stop ICE is "providing people with concrete, outward-facing activities... while building an escalating national campaign that can culminate in larger coordinated days of nonviolent disruption..."

This approach, of course, is quite familiar to communities that have been dealing with police abuses for as long as there have been professional police forces. In 2000, then–New York City Mayor and future Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani justified the killing of the Haitian American Patrick Dorismond by police by quipping that he was “no altar boy.” Embarrassingly for Giuliani, whose capacity for shame was overestimated even then, it turned out that Dorismond had literally been an altar boy. Dorismond’s mother responded to the campaign to justify her son’s killing with an observation that continues to haunt me decades later. “They kill,” Dorismond said, “and after that, they kill him the other way—with the mouth.” Taking Good’s life wasn’t enough. The moment she died, it became imperative for the administration to also destroy her memory.

Governor, can’t you call up the MN NG and have them shadow ICE and protect us? They have crossed the Rubicon. We need protection.

I disagree. To me, it shows chutzpah.

This is what people who care about others look like.

He just walks. No supervisor to report too. No turning over his gun as evidence. He just drives away.

Such a good point
