We don’t use the word Coward enough to describe ICE, DHS, Bovino, Noem, Hegseth, Trump or MAGA in general. They are cowards. They wear masks. They hide behind lies. They argue in bad faith. If you drape yourself in patriotism while denying the truth or trampling the constitution, you are a Coward.

Vigils were held across the state to remember Alex Pretti after he was fatally shot by a federal agent Saturday in Minneapolis. Many also gathered to protest increased federal immigration enforcement happening in Minnesota.
