Reich says,
"The decency of Minnesotans is mirrored in a dozen other Minnesota mutual-aid traditions: Lutheran churches seeded what has become the largest refugee population per capita in the United States. Minnesota has had a labor organizing movement since before it became a state. Minnesota created the first high-risk pool in the country to insure 'the uninsurable' in 1976."

Robert Reich thinks that today's strike in Minnesota "could be a model for what the nation as a whole does in coming months, to repudiate the Trump dictatorship."
He quotes Ana Marie Cox who writes about how Minnesota is a natural leader in modeling solidarity:
“It is impossible to get through a Minnesota winter without help, and only sometimes does that assistance come from your neighbors."

"We all saw the video. ICE Agent Jonathan Ross shot at Renee Good from the left side of her vehicle, after Ross was no longer in any (alleged) danger of being run over. A private autopsy confirmed that Renee was shot in the left side of the head—a wound that confirms what we all saw on the video."

"This is no time for games, for toxic 'both-sides-ism,' for false equivalencies. This is a time to tell the truth. And stop amplifying narratives that perpetuate a dangerous distortion of what’s happening on the ground. Your city and state might be next."

"ICE agents threw tear gas at a van carrying six children, and three of them went to the hospital, including an infant who had stopped breathing. ICE agents are pulling over public school transport vehicles full of students. ICE agents are pushing minors and high school students into streets full of incoming traffic; they’re launching tear gas and rubber bullets at senior citizens. They are terrorizing our city."

"I am utterly exhausted by national media coverage that frames what is happening in America as some kind of political horse race, with two equal and equivalent partisan teams. As a former sportswriter, I am begging my journalism colleagues to do better than framing these stories as though you’ve covering a football game. Talk to people on the ground. pen your heart to see what is right in front of you."

Angela Denker, a Lutheran pastor in Minnesota and author of Disciples of White Jesus, issues a strong rebuke to mainstream media for turning what's happening in Minnesota into a game with both sides offering competing and equally valid narratives:

"While the most visible sign of the administration’s war on Minnesota is ICE’s brutal and deadly occupation, it’s not the only way President Trump is attacking the state.
As punishment for the crimes of having a diverse population, not voting for him in three elections straight, and having Tim Walz as governor," (continued in /15)

"In recent weeks, the paramilitary occupation of the Twin Cities has moved us past some invisible breaking points. About how we expect our government to treat us. And about what might be done about the government agencies that fail those expectations.
Lets step back: the primary purpose of this occupation is the selective use of government power to establish federal dominance over blue states or cities that President Trump dislikes."

"We use words like 'police state.' Then we see it happen. To watch is not the same as to experience it, of course. Of being afraid to leave your house. Or having a classmate, co-worker, or family member disappear. But the images make it more real. It removes any illusion that it could not happen here. It is happening here. We see it happening here, if we are willing to look."

"My theory of the moment is Miller/Vance thought their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity would be widely shared. But ICE raids are driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants quite courageously. Now Miller is trying to disrupt that alliance with state violence."

"The Trump regime picked this spot to make its case for breaking Blue America because, in many ways, it represents the best of this country. And rather than be content to be the human sacrifices the regime desired, the people united to take care of each other as much as possible. So look north, not just at who we see in the streets, but who gets that this is our only way forward."
“The lack of humanity at every step of this process of what the government has been doing and how they have been unlawfully detaining people, including toddlers and children, it’s truly unimaginable.”

"It’s a good Friday to miss work.
Today, we will see the closest thing to a general strike in the United States since 1946. Much of Minnesota will simply say, 'Hell, no,' to the lawless, vicious, and absurdly unnecessary assault on their neighbors by the Trump regime's Department of Homeland Security."

"A massive general strike has begun in Minnesota. Today, hundreds of Minnesota businesses, workers, and students are participating in the 'ICE Out! Statewide Shutdown,' an economic blackout urging people to skip work, school, and shopping to protest intensified ICE activity in the Twin Cities—sparked by the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer"
~ Aaron Parnas
"Citing the killing of Renee Good by federal agent Jonathan Ross, the 'ICE Out' day organizers say the general strike is intended to be a day of nonviolent reflection.
'It is time to suspend the normal order of business to demand immediate cessation of ICE actions in MN, accountability for federal agents who have caused loss of life and abuse to Minnesota residents and call for Congress to immediately intervene,' the website states."
"Friday is 'ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth & Freedom' — a statewide pause of daily activity to 'stand together against the actions of the federal government against the state of Minnesota,' according to the website.
Demonstrators will march and rally in downtown Minneapolis Friday starting at 2 p.m."
"Minnesota’s unions, progressive faith leaders and community activists are calling a general strike on Friday, encouraging Minnesotans to stay home from work, school and refrain from shopping — suspensions of normal orders of business to protest the presence of federal immigration agents in Minnesota."
~ Michelle Griffith
"[Today] people across Minnesota will stay home from work, school, and shopping areas in an 'ICE Out Day' to protest the federal agents in the state. The general strike has the support of businesses, unions, faith organizations, democratic lawmakers, and community activists."
'RECORD NUMBERS ALL OVER THE PLACE!' Trump’s social media account crowed tonight. 'SHOULD I TRY FOR A FOURTH TERM?'”

"100 #clergy members were arrested while protesting federal #immigration enforcement outside #Minneapolis -St Paul international airport today... by members of the airport staff and local law enforcement...
the #faith leaders “prayed together, sang songs and hymns..." in an effort to call on airlines companies – particularly #Delta and Signature Aviation – to “stand with Minnesotans in calling for #ICE to immediately end its surge in the state”.
