Well, since Minneapolis was home of Prince, writer of Purple Rain ☔️, and the citizenry is raining down on the brutal ICE with all their might for all the world to see, then ours should be the Purple Revolution. Unmistakeable and serious. Starting now, for all the world to see.

Purple also indicates the political color fusing of right and left in this fascism fight, together.

Anand is just so good at this stuff. He's articulate and thoughtful, but firm and resolute.

Here’s a question for Paul: what would be the impact of immigrants staying home on the Super Bowl? And….Mutual Aid given for striking workers of one of the highest profile sporting events so America can feel how much our culture needs (or uses) them.

Thank you for sharing the video. But, I have to say, it’s not being said. They focus on two white people( which I am), but not the deaths that has happened since this happened. Which shows out in the open where we still are. It never changes. Media doesn’t tell the full picture. I appreciate the reporting of course the of Renee, and Alex but what about the other deaths in other states(California to name one).

Minneapolis is a mental health problem emanating from the mind of Trump. What does he need? An intervention. He should return to Queens and immediately be admitted to the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center.

Our biggest problem is the overwhelming power of a small number of corporations and people. Americans are great at rebellion and humor. Would love to see this meme catch fire (metaphorically): images of Minneapolis with the tagline: brought to you by….and list all the major American companies funding this regime with bribes/capitulations. Start with the ballroom and movie funders.

Tom Holman decried the vicious - mean spirited comments made to and about his officers. Oh my dearie me. Indeed according to Tommy all that nastiness requires more officers to protect the officers rounding up the people they inadvertently bump into while searching out the worst of the worst. If only all the people who shouldn't be here would leave along with the 14th amendment.

I bekieve we have crossed the line from Democracy to Dictatorship. The Republicans and Trump are crafty. They are making it look like they are backing off but they are not. There are 37 Red states they have already accepted the dictatorship, just look at Texas and Florida. ICE is actually bigger than the Marine Corp and has access to billions more dollars. The whole purpose of jack boots on the ground is to intimidate the average citizen. While we are distracted by Minneapolis the fascist attorney general and FBI director swoop into Georgia and steal election ballots from 2020. There is no let up. Fascisim is relentless.

Democrats, PLEASE propose a bold and clear immigration policy now. Trump was elected partly on immigration. 46% of Latinos voted for Trump in 2024. If the choice is between an open border or Trump’s approach - a lot of people will still go with Trump. Democrats continue to lose on this issue. We need a humane alternative. We need it yesterday! DNC - just use Canada’s immigration policy or an approach from another humane nation - copy, paste, and broadcast it as an alternative.

An “open border” isn’t about love, it’s about benefiting corporations by providing cheap labor.

Anan, saw you on Morning Joe today, and your thoughts on the administration's strategy to poke at the fabric of this country in different ways, to see where We the People will hold firm, is spot on. Wish the conversation was allowed to continue this morning. Keep at it; this is something the American people can get their heads around.

TY for continuing to show up on this show A.G. to have to listen to 'trouble ahead, two deaths (a serious under count), and the diminishing of the situation at large, and not just over the past two weeks and yes, the plan (unamed - but is Project 2025 and why is anyone surprised still) is unfathomable. I do appreciate that you show up, speak truth and persist. Thank you.

Questions: Why is there such a huge disjunction between what citizens are doing and its impact and the impact of the codified mechanisms of government? Do the FOX news people really believe what they say or is it all theatre?

I so agree!👍🏼
