I’ve got new piece over at the Minnesota Reformer on why our dystopia is different than the ones imagined by Orwell and others in the past. Also, what the Minnesota resistance meant for it: The Minnesota resistance exposed the Orwellian frauds of the administration

On Jan. 7, I dropped a car off at my daughter’s high school. Not long after that, she took it to skiing practice. A few minutes later, then-Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and at least 10 ICE agents stopped in front of the school and marched onto the property. According to people I know who were there, the agents were aggressive and belligerent. One woman blew a whistle, and an agent walked up to her and said, “You’re assaulting me.”

The grounds were filled with students and staff who’d come outside and who were recording the incident. In one video, as ICE swarmed the grounds, the school principal ran up to pull a student back from an agent, who then fired tear gas into both their faces. Another staff member can be heard telling students to back up. “Guys,” she says, “I don’t want you to get hurt. They literally just killed someone.”

That someone was Renee Good, who had been killed earlier that day. The videos from outside our school showed how easily the number of people killed could have climbed.

But there were other reasons to be disturbed as well.

The next day, Bovino wrote on X that the students and staff were “organized protesters” who “showed up in minutes assaulting agents,” He said there were four arrests and that they “saw no students.”

It’s no secret that politicians, secret police and paramilitary squad leaders lie. But this was different: A brazen attempt to rewrite facts that we could all see with our own eyes.
