Sure Glad I'm Not The Governor Of Minnesota Right Now

Or any prominent elected Dem. Though I didn't ask for those jobs, in part because I'd be shit at them. Certainly I'd be shit at an executive job like governor.

Tough times, but you gotta figure out something more than "only 3 more years of this, then vote harder!!!"

State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis. I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets. But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace. Don’t give him what he wants.

I get why he's saying this. I'm just not sure what he expects people to do when they are flashbanging babies just because. It's a terrorist occupation.

We do make movies about heroes who resist such things. In the past.

And, yes, he is saying more than this.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Tim Walz calls on residents to film ICE agents in their communities, citing widespread misconduct. "If you see ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record. Help us create a database of the atrocities … to bank evidence for future prosecution."

...adding for clarity: the man has a hard job and I don't know what he should do, but people are out protesting because nobody is coming to save them.  It is the feds that are inflicting violence, and while Trump and Miller are hoping for something obvious, like a protester shooting an ICE thug, they do not and will not require it for their next steps.
