People do want action.
And so underscoring what Eliza said, folks are wondering when our politicians are going to stop using profanity on national television and actually start doing something here on the ground.
The demands from organizers like Nakima and many others have been clear.
Folks have continued to demand the arrest of Jonathan Ross.
They've continued to demand that ICE leave our state.
And I think even a step further, Nakima has called for either the head of the BCA to actually investigate Renee Good's killing or step down.
I say that it's time that Democrats in the state of Minnesota show stronger leadership.
You know, we have a Democratic mayor, Democratic governor.
They have some level of power and authority, but the way that they come across when they're talking to the public, it's as if they're helpless.
Our mayor said they have bigger guns than us.
So what does that say to the people?
You're on your own.
No one is coming to save you.
And then when people show up, which they do, we have one of the most active and engaged communities in the country around organizing against police accountability, against ICE, against homeless encampments, on and on and on.
When people do show up with their whistles,
with their fireworks, with their pox, or just with their voices, then we're told it's an unlawful assembly.
You all are causing problems.
So it makes no sense.
You can't have it both ways.
You can't leave the people completely unprotected.
