Minnesotans across races and origins, faiths and genders, are demonstrating that the brave of us stand with and for each other. And the cowardly MAGA regime has escalated their attacks, assaulting families in the streets, invading homes, kidnapping children, and now killing Alex Pretti and Renee Good as they were looking out for their neighbors.
Their end game is clear: they want to control and silence us, even demanding voting rolls so they can remain in power no matter the will of the people. Through it all, everyday Minnesotans are showing how we free America by organizing mutual aid for families forced into hiding, standing guard on streets, and turning out in the thousands until all masked militia are removed from our communities and we make ours a government of, by, and for the people.
As fellow neighbors to Minnesota, we can certainly reach out to assist them in any way we can — monetarily, by keeping tabs on our own state legislature (we do not want or need ICE in Iowa), and, if you are a spiritual person, praying for them and the rest of our country. I am tired of the lies.
