I can only hope that I will respond as passionately and forcefully as the people of Minneapolis if the need arises - I am in awe of their efforts!

I think spreading this around might help. Springsteen's new video doesn't pull any punches. It hasn't been up for a day and the views are approaching 1m!

How ironic that the Minneapolis crowd of 10,000 marched to the Target Center. Target has been playing its own role in enabling detention of immigrants. https://www.businessinsider.com/target-employees-urge-company-to-keep-ice-out-of-stores-2026-1#:~:text=In%20a%20memo%20last%20week,with%20any%20immigration%20enforcement%20agency.%22

I'm from Minneapolis but not there now. Still, I consider it my HOME and I have been deeply grieving over what has been happening there.

Frankly, I haven't been dealing with the grief at all well.

But reading this has left me feeling so much better. Everyone everywhere should be doing this, too.

Does anybody remember that Portland went through this in Trump’s first term and now again in his second?

This is why they so feared Obama. He began as a community organizer. They don’t understand how people can truly care for one another without profiteering.

💯They don’t have a clue

My father-in-law used to say, "If s/he had a clue, they'd probably sit in a corner and play with it."

It's good to know the Right is baffled; let them assume it's organized by big money, as they'll never be able to copy this kind of community support if they don't understand the motives behind it. Not money, but caring for others.

This was so inspiring!!! Thank you Team Big Pic!!! And of course, everyone in the Twin Cites and beyond stretching, risking and enduring the heartbreak, to break the system of cruelty and violence, with concern, care and service to one another. 🙏🏻💖

Minneapolis citizens are quite simply INSPIRATIONAL - a model of grassroots community activism for us all.

And look for the great on the ground reporting from Katie Phang yesterday (Substack and YouTube…interviewing some of the carers, particularly from Haven Watch). Peace, love and understanding abound.
