Dear Citizens and Residents of MN, and especially, its Twin Cities, I am so sorry that you have to bear the brunt of the MAGA regime’s effort to undercut the civil and political rights of all Americans in the service of their wanna-be dictator. In my county, people of color – citizen and immigrant alike – are already experiencing the same kind of racial profiling that you are, on a smaller scale, and we know that if the regime believes it has made political hay in MN, they will be coming after our county and so many others on a much larger scale. If, on the other hand, their attack on you further erodes their support and credibility, they will be less likely to try the same failed tactics elsewhere. So you are fighting on behalf of all of us. Your city-level general strike yesterday, despite the freezing cold, has been a further inspiration to the rest of us. Stand strong and stay non-violent. Love and solidarity from folks who still remember the great Flint sit-down strike of 90 years ago!!
