This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
A YouTube link for those looking for it. No words.

If we can get 7 million in the streets for No Kings surely we can get less than twice as many to call into work.

And so it begins. Labor unions in the Twin Cities are calling for a state-wide general strike on January 23rd if ICE doesn't leave Minneapolis.

Hey, how about you other 49 states???

On MLK Day, we’ll hear a lot of quotes from people actively dismantling his legacy, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

In case the algorithm hasn’t delivered this to you yet, Donald Trump wrote a truly insane message to the Norwegian, Prime Minister, and here it is. The entire Republican Party is still lockstep with this guy.

MLK was only 39 when he was killed. Growing up, I thought that was old. But I’m 43 now and I’m stunned by the burden he shouldered at such a young age. I’m also a lot more aware of how hard it is, at any age, to carry the hopes and dreams of an oppressed people on your shoulders, as so many do.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

Minnesota is more than what you see on TV.

We’re a state that believes in the dignity of all people. We feed our kids and take care of our neighbors.

I’m proud of the ways Minnesotans are meeting the moment with decency and generosity - as we always do.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.
