The Department of Public Safety in Minnesota says the National Guard has been mobilized and is staging to support local law enforcement.

DPS clarified that the National Guard was not being deployed to city streets, but said it was ready to help support public safety, including the “protection of life, preservation of property, and supporting the rights of all who assemble peacefully.”

According to the DPS, the mobilization was at the direction of Governor Tim Walz.

5. I'm hoping that Federal judge Menendez's preliminary injunction

on Friday re: ICE actions against peaceful protestors gives the governor plenty of cover, not that what’s his face gives a damn about rulings that go against him.

2. Fight fire with fire!

Nobody wants this to escalate to a full-scale civil war (I take that back -- the ReThugs and MAGAts are warmongers), but those on the side of civil liberties cannot continue to be bullied and killed with impunity!

They can start by keeping ICE goons away from schools, courthouses, and hospitals.
