It’s cool how all the worst people are probably relaxed as hell right now, as they are every night, while all the rest of us reckon with the impact of never-ending anxiety.

Election law experts are questioning the legality of the FBI’s unprecedented seizure of 2020 election ballots in Fulton County, Ga. in a raid that has further inflamed fears of federal interference in the upcoming midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
FBI’s Fulton County raid may have been illegal, legal experts warn. But it definitely raises fears for 2026
'This is a test run for 2026... Trump could try to seize voting machines or otherwise interfere with state ballot tabulation processes in swing districts around the country.'

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.
Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and Minneapolis resident, was murdered by ICE today. He was a lawful gun owner. Our government saw his Second Amendment right as a threat and executed him in the streets.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.
