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.'"

It's Martin Luther King Day, Which Suddenly Seems Incredibly Relevant

An inescapable network of mutuality.
