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:

"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.'"
