How you can tell the protesters aren’t paid agitators: Watch the videos. It’s the accents.
Those accents have a favorite Zorbaz.
Those accents can tell you EXACTLY where they were on 10/31/91.
Those accents have thrown a bra off the SkyGlider.
Those accents get emotional about Randy Moss.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Maybe point out that these people's beliefs about "the Cities" are objectively wrong and come from a steady diet of right-wing propaganda on places like faceboook? I have relatives who are convinced the entire city is still a burnt out husk where multiple people are shot every night.
NYTimes has truly outdone itself with this latest in its "ask white guys in diner" genre.

To say a bit what people’s lives are like: both of my kids’ schools have chats that are connected to the parents and neighbors patrolling school grounds observing for ICE. Every a.m. other parents monitor them in case we need to quickly go to the school to help prevent a child from being kidnapped.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.
