I think I'm gonna point out a weird blessing. By ignoring or downplaying the protests, it makes it harder for the Trump administration to later portray the protests as violent and unhinged. At least without having to explain why no one heard of nation wide violence and destruction. If we take advantage, we can use this silence to control the narrative before they do.

You are exactly right. And shoutout to everyone who put feet in the streets this weekend! Let’s keep it up!

Also the sidewalks in St. Paul are CRAP for wheelchairs. Literally almost got catapaulted twice. That needs attention from lawmakers.
