It’s been clear since day 0 of MAGA that truth doesn’t matter — only winning does. This is the position of the administration globally (Miller recently speaking to strength) and has been the mental model of MAGA consistently. Viewed through this lens, everything makes sense and you can predict the next move. Door-to-door (like Vance said) to incite violence in order to create marshal law and defer all elections indefinitely (like Trump said). The only lie Trump told that MAGAts care about is that he’ll be a dictator for just one day. They’re happy to see it’s indefinitely.

We all saw that the murderer Jonathan Ross, who’s name has been widely reported by the media, is a cold blooded killer. Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good. Coward, murderer Jonathan Ross, who left three children without their mother because he’s a weak, fragile man, was not in any danger and murdered Renee Nicole Good because he is the murderer Jonathan Ross.

Why do we still hinge on every word Trump says, though? Why write op-eds in the NY Times about what Trump said? The media should just matter-of-factly report it, and move on to other news. Done. We sink too much bandwidth into all the gobbledygook he says while he just says and does more bullshit. It’s boring. He’s boring. Congress is boring. All this news is boring.

We gotta face the reality that 85 years of constant propaganda and attacking education has worked for the fascists and we are now stuck having to deal with the second rising tide of fascism. Except now it’s rooted on our shores because we didn’t properly eradicate it last time like we should have.

On Aug. 1, 2007, the Interstate 35W bridge spanning the Mississippi River in Minneapolis collapsed into the water during rush hour. Thirteen people died, and dozens more were injured.
In the immediate aftermath, the president, a Republican, showed up in a city full of Democrats ready to help.
Minneapolis leaders were passionate and vocal critics of President George W. Bush’s policies at the time. But when the crisis struck, it didn’t matter. We were partners in what mattered most: saving lives, steadying our community and rebuilding infrastructure. Cities could count on the administration in a crisis. Politics stopped, quite literally, at the water’s edge.
Blue cities like Minneapolis used to be able to count on good-faith partnerships with the federal government under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Under the Biden administration, our police officers worked with federal agents and the U.S. attorney’s office to bring down shooting rates in North Minneapolis. The effort wasn’t political — it was practical, and it continues to keep people safe.
But such partnerships, in both crisis and ordinary governance, are not the experience of big-city Democratic mayors under the Trump administrations. I learned that the hard way in 2020 during the civil unrest that came in the wake of George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis police officer. I’ll never forget the shock I felt when President Trump not only encouraged violence during the unrest, but denied federal approval for disaster relief.
On Wednesday, when I learned that a Minneapolis resident had been shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, I didn’t feel the shock in my gut that I felt over five years ago. Nothing about this was shocking. The chaos that ICE and the Trump administration have brought to Minneapolis made this tragedy sadly predictable. In mid-December, ICE agents were filmed dragging a pregnant woman through the street. Heavily armed agents have been deployed to arrest lone individuals in public libraries and malls. Even in the aftermath of this week’s shooting, ICE agents continued to spread chaos, apparently deploying chemical agents at a local public high school.
The actions of the ICE agents deployed to my city are dangerous, and now, even deadly. But that danger has been compounded by the administration’s incredulous claims that the victim committed an act of domestic terrorism. The Department of Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem, baselessly insisted the shooting was an act of self-defense. Mr. Trump falsely claimed that the victim, Renee Nicole Good, “behaved horribly” and “ran him over,” referring to the ICE agent. I’ve watched multiple videos, from multiple perspectives — it seems clear that Ms. Good, a mother of three, was trying to leave the scene, not attack an agent.
The Trump administration’s false narrative about this week’s shooting, and the demonization of the victim, are only part of a bigger lie. It wants the American public to believe that ICE’s heavily militarized crackdown across this country is an effort to keep cities like Minneapolis safe. It is not. It is about vilifying not just immigrants, but all who welcome them and their contributions to our communities. By defending the lie about this clearly avoidable shooting in Minneapolis and refusing to allow Minnesota officials to investigate the crime, the administration is sending a message to the entire country: If you show up for your immigrant neighbors, or even are simply present when those neighbors are taken, your rights will not be protected by the law and your life will be at risk.
Under both the first and second Trump administrations, the country has learned from watching Minneapolis that the federal government holds no regard for cities or the people who live in them. When coupled with this administration’s open contempt for democratic norms — indeed, our Constitution — this is a threat to the long-term endurance of our Republic.
I hope no more of my fellow mayors find their cities in this administration’s cross hairs. But for those who do, here is my advice: The best thing you can do is to build cities that work, and love those streets and those citizens above any ideology. By bringing down violent crime, Minneapolis has been able to successfully push back against those who have tried to portray our city as a postapocalyptic hellscape. By building housing and focusing on affordability, we have made our city a place that immigrants, transplants and native Minneapolitans can all call home. By supporting immigrant-owned small businesses, our city has become living proof that immigrants make our city and our nation stronger.
Cities are on the front lines of this dark hour in our national politics. But after we weather this moment — and we will weather it — it will be on us to light the way forward. The best way to convince the country that welcoming and lifting up immigrants is good for its communities is by proving it in our own cities.

**The Trump Regime is definitionally a hostile terrorist organization:**
A terrorist organization is generally defined as a group **using or threatening violence** for **political**, **religious**, or **ideological goals**, aiming to **create fear** and **coe**r**ce** **governments or populations**, often **targeting civilians or non-combatants**.
key characteristics include:
– politically motivated violence
– intimidation tactics,
– an **intent** to influence broader audiences beyond immediate victims.
He has deployed military units into cities and neighborhoods against the civilian population. They use aggressive tactic and overt violence against the civilian population, They are creating an environment of fear by design to achieve control. They’ve gotten rid of due process for a significant civilian population. They’ve sent their military forces into schools, terrorizing children. They’ve sent military forces to intimidate businesses they disagree with. They’re executing mom’s in the street. This is all being done with an intent to influence far beyond the immediate victims.
All this violence, all this fear, all this use of military against our own civilian population, is being done so that the Trump Regime can further advance their political and ideological goals.
The Trump Regime is a terrorist organization.
