A victory for Minnesotans . . . and all Americans. March 6, 2026

In those cold, dark months Minnesotans persisted. They refused to quit. And they won. Their victory is not complete; it is ongoing. But they deserve credit and gratitude for showing us that resistance works.

Undaunted Trump ditches Noem β€” and allies refuse to support the war

The lesson here is clear: Trump can be forced to retreat when Democrats go on attack, embarrass his incompetent and dishonest lackeys, and effectively deploy free media.

The MAGA Civil War Just Widened Trump is driving away a key faction within the GOP

If the war with Iran drags on, or if Trump sends in ground forces, his support from the β€œno foreign wars” faction could collapse entirely. This would shave more critical points off GOP election tallies nationwide, putting both the House and the Senate into serious play.

Minneapolis Was a Stress Test for Accountability - CAFE ICE may have left Minneapolis, but we cannot afford to forget what they did there β€” it matters for all of us and our democracy.

We can’t afford to forget what they did there. Even though this particular ICE surge was in Minnesota, it matters for all of us.

We can have great wealth in the hands of a few, or we can have a democracy, but we can’t have both.

Standing Up For Our Neighbors - A Vital Lesson From The Siege Of Minnesota Dems need to make clear they are for reining in ICE, *and* stopping mass deportation and the expansion of the detention centers. We must stand up for our neighbors.

This bravery, this courage, the moral power of standing for their neighbors won the day.

Taking the Wins There’s good news to report on many fronts, and we should not only enjoy them but understand what they mean going forward.

The hard work continues. But the battle goes to Minneapolis and its brave people.

Patriotic opposition to Trump’s autocracy is radiating outward from Minnesota. The view from afar, as impressive as it is, doesn’t begin to describe the breadth and depth of the pro-democracy movement that is happening on the ground.

Undaunted On the ground in Minneapolis, but also in churches and courtrooms.

Minneapolis has shown the country and the world what courageous, organized, and morally righteous defense of democracy looks like. These heroic actions may well have set in motion the collapse of the MAGA tyranny project. @jenrubin.bsky.social

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.
