Stephen Miller now runs the White House — people maintain the common good

We will keep showing up where people are afraid.
Friends,
When federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in my hometown of Minneapolis, we spent weeks walking neighbors to church because they were too scared of ICE to be outside alone.
I felt pride in my chest when I saw what happened on Election Day last week. People walked up to the spot outside Glam Doll Donuts where Alex — a nurse — was murdered and pressed their “I voted” stickers onto a lamppost, a stethoscope hanging among them. Hundreds more stickers have gone up since at Alex and Renee’s memorials.
|
Now the donut shop is taking stickers by mail, and they are coming in from all over the country. Complete strangers are sending in a piece of their vote.
People know that this blue wave mattered. They know the stakes — which remain high.
Minnesota investigators are still in court trying to get the officers’ guns and phones and a recorded statement from one of the officers who shot Alex. Federal officials told Minnesota in September that evidence sharing was on hold indefinitely, and no one has been charged.
And just three days after those stickers started going up — three days after Election Day — Donald Trump made Stephen Miller his chief of staff. He started his position today.
|
A little over three hours after Alex was shot for trying to help his neighbor, Miller lied and said that “A domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Yet this is who Trump chose.
Trump himself told CBS’ 60 Minutes in recent days that the immigration crackdown was “too tough.” But he still just handed the White House to the man who built it, with $75 billion in new money behind ICE.

In January, our new Congress can subpoena records and put officials under oath — but that only opens the door.
We always have to stay vigilant. Today in Dallas, white Christian Nationalists are opening a three-day conference called “Christ is King: America After Trump,” and they are openly planning for the day Trump is gone. And they are planning to be worse.
We’re always keeping watch for the people of this country and for the common good. We will keep showing up where people are afraid — whether it’s in Minneapolis or anywhere else.
Our work runs on gifts from people like you who refuse to look away. Your donation of $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, or any amount helps us be there, no matter what comes next.
In this together,
Doug
