"Here we are again. An overtly White nationalist Trump regime has ginned up fear of 'the Great Replacement,' 'wokeism,' immigrant violence, and anti-white discrimination (not to mention fear of changing your child’s gender and of women taking men’s jobs). High prices? No healthcare? Never mind. The regime is keeping you safe from these threats to white male dominance.

History may not repeat, but it does rhyme."

~ Jennifer Rubin

Dan Pfeiffer notes that he's been having conversations with his young son Jack about what's happening in Minnesota, and he's glad Jack is too young to ask follow-up questions:

"When you have these conversations with young kids, you want to reassure them that this kind of oppression is in the past and that we live in a better, more enlightened time."

MLK, Minnesota, and the Battle to Define America

Peaceful protest isn’t un-American. It’s one of the most American things there is.

"Against the backdrop of these conversations, at the end of days spent watching videos of masked ICE agents assaulting citizens for the crime of walking in the wrong neighborhood, having the wrong accent, or espousing the wrong political beliefs, it’s hard not to see the obvious parallels."

"If you want to be terrified for America’s future, look at what Trump’s Homeland security thugs are doing in Minnesota.

But if you want to be inspired for America’s future, look at how ordinary Minnesotans refuse to be terrorized.

Minnesota, right now, is where Americans are bravely, resolutely, and boisterously living out King’s words in 'Letter From Birmingham Jail.'"

"There is a cruel irony that on the day we honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.—a man awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his work on racial and social justice, work that would cost him his life before he turned 40—we are confronted with headlines about that same Prize in a very different and demented context."

"The Civil Rights Movement saved America from drowning. Now this country appears to be going under for the fateful third time. King and those involved in the Civil Rights Movement ushered in this country’s last, best chance to become a true democracy. This is the work that today, Trump, and Vance, Mike Johnson, Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino, Pete Hegseth, and the tech bros. seek to dismantle."
