And in Congress and in state government and in party politics and in business, which to them all means money as well as power, you are seeing political shift happening.
And that is because of the people.
It starts with the people.
It starts with the protests that we have seenβprincipled, peaceful, relentless protest.
It works.
That is the source of this shift.
Peaceful, powerful, relentless, principled protest works.
It uses democratic means to save democracy.
That is what has made all of this political shifting happen.
That is what has forced the Trump administration to change course.
That is what has forced Trump to back down.
Principle, peaceful, relentless protest is the democratic means of saving a democracy.
And that is the only way to win for the long term.
So as they pull Gregory Bovino and federal agents out of Minneapolis tonight,
Be very clear on why this happened.
If you were part of those protests, if you were part of the peaceful Democratic advocacy to get ICE out of Minneapolis, tonight you are winning.
And there's a lot going on.
There's a lot to cover tonight.
We've got an update tonight on the places all over the country where Trump is trying to put new immigrant prison camps.
They want to build a whole new network of massive prison camps that are effectively black sites, where there's little to no legal access, where they want to indefinitely imprison men, women, and children.
