HOLYOKE — A Holyoke City Council meeting this week was abruptly adjourned after escalating tensions led to a shouting match and a five-minute recess. Tuesday’s chaos wasn’t an exception. The council has struggled with issues of civility, power and procedure, this week leaving 64 agenda items unresolved until its next meeting.

But this week, Kluwe is in the national spotlight once more after he was arrested during a city council meeting in Huntington Beach, California. He gave a fiery, minute-long speech railing against President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement — comparing it to Nazism and describing it as “profoundly corrupt” and “unmistakably anti-democracy.

Former Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe called for "peaceful civil disobedience" and "no kings" on Thursday in the wake of his highly publicized arrest at a Southern California city council meeting earlier this week.
