The Hortmans were assassinated seven months ago.

The Annunciation Church school shooting was five months ago.

Renee Good was murdered three weeks ago to the day.

It has been eight days since they took 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father.

It has been four days since Alex Pretti was murdered.
After seeing blue/green ribbons in front of a house today, for a second I couldn’t remember if the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband happened before or after the Annunciation school shooting

“The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once.”
“The people of Minnesota have forced the Trump administration into a strategic retreat—one inflicted not as rioters or insurgents, but as neighbors.” This sentence from @adamserwer.bsky.social made me unexpectedly get choked up. It’s weird what does that these days. But still …
Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong
The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

This is Minneapolis.

Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

Barely holding it together while I let my son play five more minutes of Zelda before we go grocery shopping for his schoolmate’s family who’s afraid to leave the house. I don’t know what we’re supposed to do either
I found out when I picking up ice for the cooler with the juice boxes for my kid's fourth birthday party today. I went back to the car and he was laughing hysterically over my window scraper. How are we supposed to do this? But if we love our kids, how are we supposed to let their friends get taken?
Sobbing at another senseless act of extreme violence by ICE while simultaneously on hold trying to get my kids registered for summer camp.

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

“I am not scared, and we will not be scared. We know our rights. We’re U.S. citizens and we’re going to continue to show up,” Halimo said.

Amazing story.
