Samiya, 17, led her Los Angeles high school's walkout. "The White House has a TikTok account, and theyāll post things like 'deportation ASMR'. You go on YouTube the night before school, and you watch an ad of Kristi Noem threatening everybody who has ever come to this country. Itās frightening."

There are so very many things that are fucked up about how things are in Minnesota right now and it is hard to tell what the outside world knows about. The street blockades may seem odd . . . if you haven't seen the way ICE & CBP drive.

It's not even a matter of moderation, liberalism, or whatnot here in 2026. It's a simple matter of perceptional acuity, even if this test is one many Dem pols seem to fail: *Do you know what time it is?* Spanberger appears to know what time it is, and appears to govern her choices accordingly.
