And that's why the First Amendment is, frankly, the best insurance policy that the founders gave us against tyranny.
It really is.
And I know that sounds really sappy, but that's something that I think is important to remember because right now it is literally, we are watching a demonstration case
of what somebody would do who doesn't want us to really be in a free country.
Yeah, I thank you for adding that.
That was also on my list in the column because I think that, again, it's often misportrayed as what happened in Minnesota was Americans were horrified at the excesses of the immigration enforcement agenda.
And that's not what it was.
I think it was really a more profound horror at the idea that mass federal agents were literally using force to suppress the free speech of an entire city.
You know, those were by and large, they were American citizens who were killed by ICE.
They were American citizens, by and large, who were out there trying to protect their friends and neighbors.
And that makes it a free speech crisis that was unfolding in Minnesota embedded within an excessive and heavy handed immigration enforcement operation, GOMPAD.

Looks to me like a lot of women are not invited to, you know, Trump's meetings in Mar-a-Lago, but, you know.
Just one point, though, on that, because-
They have this sort of caricature of femininity for those few women who are let in.
The Attorney General of the United States and the Secretary of Homeland Security and the White House Prosecutor are literally...
I don't know, you know, sort of like robotically remixed, you know, images of women from a sort of Fox News fever dream.
You know, they're like Roger Ailes' revenge on women to make themselves look this way.
Look at the before and after pictures of the women in Trump's cabinet and you'll see, you know, what view of women Donald Trump has.
So it's not that they're excluded.
