As the schism in Trumpworld worsens over ICE’s atrocities, a journalist who spent time in Minneapolis explains how recent events reveal that the Trump-Miller-MAGA ideology miscalculated at a very profound level.

"I think there is a role for all of us and a way for all of us to both think about how to stretch, how to stretch what were our comfort zone, while also recognizing that we all have different abilities to be able to show up in this space. And, you know, some people are working four jobs just trying to feed their kids on any given day."

"The people of Minnesota, the rest of the country has learned these past few weeks, just keep coming back. Their relentlessness offers a blueprint for how to react when ICE inevitably arrives somewhere new to stir up trouble where there was none; how to look violence dead in the eye and say not in my town; how to provide aid laterally when you know those at the top won’t be passing any down."
