It was never about citizenship or immigration enforcement.

It’s about state sanctioned harassment and intimidation of anyone with a shade of melanin or an accent. But once they saw that a lot of white people wouldn’t sit back and become sitting ducks, they became the target too. Like any authoritarian regime, it’s not just about going after specific groups of people, it’s about going after anyone questioning their power, legitimacy and actions.

The people of Minneapolis showed the very best of this country. A lot of cities would have sat back in apathy or worse yet, allowed it happen without a protest.
