30. Nonsense! Minnesota is proof that you are incorrect.

Mar 30

Trump sent in his little brown shirt army to the Twin Cities. The people here came out and said No! Thanks, but No.

Before long Noem was out. Bovino was out. Homen came in and shut the nonsense down and the ICE cosplay dudes left town.

Why? Because people went into the streets and said NO! Get out! And they got out!

Public action brings change. It works. It's not an instant fix, but things get fixed, one way or another.

No Kings day protests also work.

Stop trying to discourage people from public protesting. Just stop!
