Run Jacob Run...

'ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis!'

I haven't really watched much Cable News the last six months.  Seeing the Orange Anus again manipulate the press into sucking so much airtime has been depressing.   I had hoped after his last reign of ignorance and hate they might have learned.  Clearly not. 

I've never paid for Fox, and cancelled CNN last fall.  I still MSNow, but the only show I check out now and then is Deadline: White House with Nicolle Wallace. I did tune back in a few times recently to catch some of the coverage of the Government terrorizing Minneapolis.  The senseless government murders of Renée Good and Alex Pretti and the story of 5 year old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father were all gut-wrenching and infuriating.  

The main reason I tuned in however, was how it great it felt to see the people of Minneapolis fighting back.   Hearing their reasons, seeing their anger, determination and ultimately, their humanity and spirit was reassuring and a  much need heart recharge.  There were so many citizens and politician's fighting the fight.  I'm not sure anything was hotter than seeing  Jacob Frey, the Mayor of Minneapolis, telly ICE to get the fuck out of his city. 

I know many say we don't need a hero, but we do need strong leaders who are up to the battle.  I've lost respect for many democratic leaders who have struggled to meet the moment. Thankfully there are still a handful, like Frey, who are stepping up with the righteous anger, (mixed with empathy) and energy that we need.
