Jack is right — the insurrection didn’t succeed, but that’s not the end of it. The threat didn’t vanish; it evolved. It’s in voter suppression, paramilitary organizing, and the slow corrosion of trust in institutions.
The danger now isn’t a dramatic storming of a building. It’s the mindset that laws, norms, and accountability are optional if inconvenient. That’s what makes the next act even deadlier.
Thinking outside the box: this isn’t just politics. It’s a societal test. Every unchecked lie, every ignored abuse of power, strengthens the machinery of chaos. Vigilance isn’t optional. It’s survival.
Yes Jack, the Victory in Minnesota is the guidelines we follow, the proof of the concepts and ideals of Ghandi and MLK...(and believe me when I admit at times it's been hard to bring myself down out of low earth orbit of anger)
Discipline. It feels righteous. The entire city was on board, peacefully, though ICE was waiting for the tinderbox to explode. Gutwrenching losses. Minneapolis, and all if Minnesota deserves to be considered for the Nobel. I'm using your Pillar Plan to interface with my blue city in a mostly red state. ICE is coming here, next, to disrupt our midterms. I hope we can rise to the level of our brothers and sister in Minnesota! Thank you, Jack, for putting an uplifting spin on the trauma left behind in Minnesota. So many good lessons learned from their pain. I'm grateful for your guiding work.
I am so proud of those people in Minneapolis who controlled their anger, fear, and fury. It was terrifying to watch it all unfold praying no one would light the fuse. Their discipline was the model we must all remember.
I've had the good fortune to visit Minneapolis/St. Paul often over the past few years. It's a remarkable city in so many ways...even a pleasure to visit in the worst weather because the citizens know how to thrive and actually make it fun. I think the good nature of the place seemed liked an easy target to our powers that be. I'm going back next month and will hopefully find it more peaceful and on the mend. I will go back with a newfound respect for the good people there. How they will emotionally and physically heal from this trauma is still to be determined.
Ice recently signed over 150 leases. Then there are the warehouses. Minneapolis deserves more than bowing to homan's pr firm. They should never have had to do this alone. We as a nation are failing them.

Excellent analysis Jack. The people of Minneapolis and those who joined them should stand proud.
YES, handling things peacefully with due process and curbing emotional retaliation can feel weak. But it is a huge strength.
It's a shame all those involved on 6th January 2021 didn't understand that.

Thank you Minnesota for teaching the master class and setting a high bar.
Discipline. Awareness. Confidence. Competence. Consideration. Decisiveness. Proper Action. Celebration.
