Powerful conversation with Dr. Maria J. Stephan on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social about how ordinary people can push back against government overreach through disciplined, nonviolent action—and why what’s happening in Minnesota matters right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7Mg...

In Minneapolis today.. more later

Solidarity melts ICE. Incredible movement moment today in Minneapolis where freedom fighters struck a mighty blow against the forces of repression and reaction.
