Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. 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. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"I'm not going to be part of that process that gives [Trump] more reinforcement to harm my community and my people." Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier is being held in the State Capitol for refusing to comply with a Republican demand that she allow herself to be chaperoned by police.
Houston's most notorious squatter is fighting to take over part of a historic Black neighborhood. He might get away with it.

The people of our two largest cities have spent this month leading by example in the face of broken party politics and fascism’s arrival. It’s very encouraging.
We're looking for someone curious about Houston and the larger Texas culinary world—someone as into finer dining as they are chain restaurants and gas station brisket.

Imagine if projector salespeople told you projectors were great in the classroom not because they let everybody see an image better but rather because now every course could be about projectors, because projectors are the future and the time to opt out of talking about projectors all day has passed.
That’s a very kind thing to say. Thank you so much!
Thanks Jeremy!
Thanks, Meredith!
