I'm going to see what I can do to find support - in person - at the Governor level for Walz or Mayor Frey. They should not have to be showing up by themselves! We are 50 United States. We can't let any of the States hang out to dry on their own. Not sure how this will go, but if I don't try, well... 'nuff said. Thanks for your note!
Annie - I'm figuring out a game plan... I have some connections in Oregon and Washington, but also a bit of one to Newsom. They are long shots, but, heck, gotta make some calls. Maybe we can DM on this...??
I borrowed some of your phrasing to send the following to my Congressmen:
The government's agents have murdered two citizens in Minneapolis. No accountability is offered for these actions; instead, our Department of Justice has defended its indefensible actions and made illegal, unConstitutional demands of the state of Minnesota to change its duly passed laws and turn over government voter rolls. This, after arresting, jailing, and deporting citizens, documented foreigners with the right to be in this country, and upstanding members of our communities who would have gladly continued to contribute to the greatness of this nation.
The time has come to act - to defend our Republic from the obvious threat from within. To impeach, to investigate, to defund, to obstruct, to do whatever is necessary to bring a stop to the illegal, unConstitutional, dictatorial, and fascist actions of our government. This is not the time to schedule hearings and wait for the next election, as if elections can be trusted when the executive is demanding voter databases at gunpoint.
In five months, the United States will mark the 250th anniversary of its founding. What will we have to show for ourselves on that day? A republic, or a fascist dictatorship?
If you need inspiration, look to Ukraine. Through courage, wit and integrity they prevail. Russia and Trump target civilians, but Ukraine targets the infrastructure that supports Putin: oil, bridges, air and naval bases. We need to target the infrastructure behind the Trump regime: its ultra-wealthy backers. Their weakest point is DOGE data heist, which violated many state laws. States should investigate and prosecute Musk, Thiel, and the executives and board of their companies, personally, to the fullest extent possible.
I call your attention to one of the ways the patriots of Minnesota are actualizing the spirit of Tom Paine -- by documenting the crimes of the regime. This inspiring song from Joyce Strong describes it.
Calling out the MN National Guard a big move by Walz...hope Bovino's Brownshirts take notice...the NG aren't some unarmed civilians to be gassed, pepper-sprayed or shot, these folks are trained military and know how to respond to wanna-be militia rabble.
Great stuff, Mike! Write on.

I agree. Especially all blue state govenors should be helping MN.
I 💯 agree with you. I'm from California. Newsom should be there right beside them, in solidarity!
Just wondering how you are going to go about that? If you have a game plan, I'm sure I could follow that and try to speak with Newsom and our AG.

Mike, Bondi demanded the voter database in the letter, among other things, but never says that the ICE surge will end if Minnesota does turn it over. I’ve seen this characterization in several places now, and wish people would actually read the letter instead of passing along inaccurate second hand information. The letter is available via the New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/01/24/us/pam-bondi-walz-doc.html?unlocked_article_code=1.HVA.qkRn.PXEl07_UyrNi&smid=nytcore-ios-share

You are definitely as patriotic as Paine Mr. Brock!! May God bless us all with that level of patriotism!!!
Thank you! Well done.
Calling out the MN National Guard a big move by Walz...hope Bovino's Brownshirts take notice...the NG aren't some unarmed civilians to be gassed, pepper-sprayed or shot, these folks are trained military and know how to respond to wanna-be militia rabble.
This was amazing!!!! Incredibly inspiring in a time of great sadness. Thank you Mike!
Inspired tonight. Keep writing
