"Fallows says he's writing his post 'to document this crucial moment in history and what some people have said and done over these past three chaotic days. I’ll focus on individuals in Minnesota who have exemplified the courage, discipline, and morality that, through this crisis, have distinguished their state as a whole.'"

"This moment is not about party. Walz was emphatic on that point. What is happening in Minnesota, and across the country, is a moral question. It is about empathy, basic decency, and constitutional rights. Minnesota’s record undermines the narrative the administration wants to sell."

"The state ranks near the top in quality of life, health care, education, and happiness. It has low childhood poverty, high insurance coverage, and long life expectancy.

"We are seeing in Minnesota, in my view, the embodiment of Americans caring about these inchoate non-voting issues like the First Amendment and the Second Amendment and the Eighth Amendment and the Ninth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment. And I think it's really worth understanding, and we should unpack this maybe together, these aren't protests anymore."

Real Heroes: The People of Minnesota are Standing Up to Trump's Terrorists

Minnesotans have shown the entire country how to stand up to this administration.

^{David Rothkopf (Need to Know by David Rothkopf)}

"This is something different, what's happening in Minnesota, what has happened in Portland. These are not simply people showing up and expressing disapproval. These are people showing up and saying, you cannot search homes without a judicial warrant. These are people showing up and saying, you cannot pepper spray me simply for holding up a sign."
