"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."

"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."

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."

"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."
