There is a lot to cover.

 Let's take a look at the beauty of the people of this country. This is Minnesota.

This quilt did not happen overnight no in secret. The Minnesotans that put this together speak loudly to their love of their neighbors.

This article appeared a full month before the elections. This was about as obvious a clue to the outcomes in Minnesota than any other state wrongly targeted by Trump.

The raids were about racism and instilling fear to bow to the king and his minions. It didn't work. And why? Because the American people are brave, honorable, and moral people concerned for each other no matter the ethnicity, race, or religion.

Where do the Republicans get the idea that Americans can be made to bend to their will through propaganda campaigns?

Money? 

Wow. Talk about being wrong.

The Minnesota Stolen Neighbors Quilt, (click here) an art piece made of 12,500 fabric squares, represents the lives and stories of the estimated 11,000 people who were deported by federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota between the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term and the end of Operation Metro Surge.

At its unveiling at the Minnesota State Capitol’s rotunda in September, dozens of community members, including Owen Lubozynski, a member of the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC) and the quilt’s primary creator, held up the quilt for a moment of silence.

“Holding [the quilt] up for 10 minutes, feeling the weight of it, really made that pain sink in,” Lubozynski said. “Just this tiny moment of what thousands of Minnesotans have been living with—the weight of the threat of deportation and the threat of being sent to a concentration camp. I wish that we could make every decisionmaker in the state, every state leader hold part of it up for a little bit, so they could feel that.”...

Racism

What is the “Great Replacement” right-wing conspiracy theory? (click here)
And why has it spread to mainstream politics?...

It falsely asserts that white European and Western populations are being deliberately and systematically replaced by non-white populations—particularly from Muslim-majority or Latin American countries—through mass migration, shifting demographics, and declining birth rates

There needs to be a vibrant agenda of inclusiveness and justice with the new Congress. There is no way there are people in this country acting naively and creating quilts of painful loss as if virgins to life itself. The people that created that quilt knew their neighbors. They cared about their neighbors. They profoundly miss them. There was never passive resistance to the violence of ICE and acceptance of it caused by the priorities Trump brought to the Executive Branch of this country. 

TRUMP LOST. 

He is a loser. 

He never had the loyalty of anyone except the corrupt million-billionaires. Not one day did the American people abandon their values and the love of their country. They knew who they were. The dead domestically were proof of the loyalty Americans share in the value of democracy as provided by the USA Constitution. The entire mess that is the Trump administration is a fabrication and dangerous to all of us.
